This uncommon vintage real photo postcard features Nora Hamilton. She was a stage performer. Very little biographical information about Miss Hamilton could be found during my preliminary research. There was an actress by the same name who acted on Broadway during the era that this postcard was published. Nora Hamilton appeared in two plays; “The Merry Widow and the Devil” (1908) and “Miss Jack” (1911). The caption in the top left hand corner of the image provides the name of a French theatre named Theatre du Chatelet. Hamilton performed there. The theatre was built on the site of a small castle in about 1861. It was located in Paris, France. This postcard is color tinted. The card was published by S.I.P. and was part of a series (No.1264). This portrait postcard is in very good condition (see scans).

These vintage real photo postcards feature a portrait of French actress and dancer, Gina Palerme (1885-1977). She was an active performer between 1909 and 1929. She began her theater career in 1909 in France. An English impresario brought her to London in 1910. Her debut was in “The Quaker Girl” at the Adelphi Theater. This performance was followed by many more stage roles in West-end productions. Photographer, Cecil Beaton, wrote that she was glamorous and that “her off-stage appearances were as sensational as her stage escapades”. She returned to France in 1919 and starred in silent films. Her final screen appearance was in 1925. Her post film career was comprised of working in French cabarets, including Moulin Rouge. She also did revue work in the United States. The New York Times (1929) announced that French revue actress, Gina Palerme, from the Moulin Rouge in Paris, “arrived in America to appear in a new revue under the Shubert management. It was reported that Palerme spoke English well and this was her first trip to America. J. J. Shubert “discovered” her after hearing her sing at the Moulin Rouge. He offered her a six month contract to come to New York. There was also an option that offered her a three year contract upon finishing her Revue performances, to appear in “talkies”. Palerme was very pretty, as is apparent in these postcard photographs.
In Postcard 1, Palerme looks glamourous and her portrait can be seen as risque. Her ornate dress is low cut. This postcard was published by J. Beagles & Co. as part of a series (No.240A). Palerme’s photograph was taken by celebrity photographer, Rita Martin. Female photographers were uncommon during this era. (SOLD)
Postcard 2 was published by J. Beagles & Co. as part of a series (No.240H). This card is part of the same series as Postcard 1. Rita Martin is the photographer who took both this portrait and the photo in Postcard 1. Note the golden color of Palerme’s hat. The color tinter clearly was a artist. Unlike many color tinters, this one believed in subtlety. (SOLD)

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)
