This vintage real photo postcard features British actress, Ethel Cadman. She appears to be in costume. Theater Magazine (1910) did a profile of her when she came to the United States to perform in the Broadway production of “The Arcadians”. Critics who saw her perform in the play, considered her as one of the sweetest singers that England had ever sent to America. At the time, she was just 24 years old. Her musical ability and her grace created instant popularity in New York. The article notes that when Cadman left for America, her mother was extremely ill with influenza. Her mother encouraged Cadman to leave and predicted great success was awaiting her on this tour. The plan was for her mother to follow her to the US when she regained her health. When Cadman arrived in New York, she learned that her mother had died. The article states that Cadman inherited her “lark like” voice and musical talent from her mother who was a choir singer. At age eleven, she sang from “The Messiah” at a country church. She received her musical training from the Guild Hall Music school. Her professional debut was with the Mudie Manners Opera Company. She spent seven months in the chorus but then was elevated to become a prima dona. She performed in a number of operas until she met theatrical producer, George Edwardes, who introduced her to comic operas. This postcard was published by Rotary Photo as part of a series (No.4368E). The photographer who took Cadman’s portrait was Langfier. This postcard is unused and in good condition (see scans). SOLD

Her father was a British sailor who emigrated there from Ghana. He was not involved raising Leila. Her mom was the daughter of a white German woman and a Creole man from Martinique. Due to her mothers family not accepting the birth of Leila, her mother placed Leila in an orphanage where she remained for the first three years of her life. Her mother took her from the orphanage and moved to Hamburg to be near Leila’s grandmother. Leila’s mom worked as a musician. When Leila was ten years old, her mother died from a botched abortion.

This cabinet card features a portrait of a pretty and fashionable young woman. This fashionista is wearing a dark dress with lace, earrings, collar pin, rings, and flowers in her hair and pinned to her lapel. Note her pocket watch. This cabinet card photograph was taken at the W. H. Brewer studio. The studio was located in Shenandoah, Iowa. William Henry Brewer was born in Indiana in 1838. He lived at home with his father until he was 25 years-old (1862) when he married Mary Ann Proctor. In 1869, he and his wife went west to Tarkio, Iowa and tried their hand at farming. Farming did not work out very well, and he moved to Red Oak where he sold groceries, with moderate success, for three years. In 1874, he established a photography rail car in Shenandoah and intended to do business there as well as in neighboring communities that he visited along the rail. Business was excellent in Shenandoah, so attaching his studio to a train was not necessary. He then opened a modern photography studio store front which grew over time. Brewer’s business made him one of the more financially successful citizens of Shenandoah. SOLD
