This vintage real photo postcard features musical comedy actress, Paula Edwards. The performer’s name appeared in several theatrical publications. A 1902 article in “The Theatre” magazine presents a review of a show in which Edwards appeared. She performed in “The Showgirl” at Wallack’s theater in New York. The show was a musical comedy and the reviewer hated it. Here are some examples of the reviewer’s comments. He stated that the humor was as heavy as a church sermon. He added “the alleged comedians are not funny”, “the singers can’t sing”, and the director should put on his spectacles and look at the ballet. Finally, the ascerbic reviewer stated the the plot is “as thin as boardinghouse soup”. In regard to Paula Edwards, the writer declares that she helped “reconcile the audience to a very stupid evening”. This vintage postcard was published by Owens Bros. – Hilson Company (Boston, Massachusetts). The card was part of a series (No.015). The postcard was postmarked in Lansing, Michigan in 1910. This vintage photo postcard is in fair condition (see scans). (SOLD)

This vintage real photo postcard features German film actress, Christa Tordy (1904-1945). She was the cousin of silent film star Mady Christians. In fact, she was “discovered” while visiting her cousin who was working on a film at the time. Tordy was a leading star in German film but she abruptly ended her screen career after marrying celebrated actor, Harry Liedtke. He was twenty years her senior. Tordy and her husband were murdered at their home by the Russian Red Army during its invasion of Germany in World War II. Tordy must have been a very bright woman based on her educational resume. She graduated high school at seventeen and then moved on to college in Berlin and Munich where she studied art history, archaeology, philosophy and literature. When she completed her academic studies, she was awarded a doctorate. While in school she also took part in student theater. Tordy’s film debut was in 1926. The IMDb reports that she had eight film appearances between 1926 and 1928. Her final film was “Love on Skis” and she costarred in the film with her husband. Tordy and Liedtke met a tragic end at the hands of the Red Army. Liedtke was clubbed to death trying to defend his wife from violence and rape. Before their murder, the pair had attempted suicide. This card was published by Ross Verlag as part of a series (No.1947/1). Tordy’s photograph was taken by Rembrandt. (SOLD)
