NORA HAMILTON : PRETTY PERFORMER : DU CHATELET THEATRE : BROADWAY :UNCOMMON RPPC

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).

PORTRAIT OF GRACE BOWMAN, PERFORMER AT THEATRE DU CHATELET IN PARIS, FRANCE (BY PAUL BOYER)

stiff 3

This vintage real photo postcard features a costumed stage actress named Violet Bowman. Her clownish costume’s pattern includes men in tuxedos and blackface. Preliminary research yielded little information about Miss Bowman but it appears from the postcard that she performed at the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris France. The theatre was designed by Gabriel Davioud after it was requested by Baron Haussmann between 1860 and 1862. Although it has been remodeled, the theatre is still in operation and currently seats 2,500 people. Violet Bowman is quite pretty in this portrait by celebrated Paris photographer, Paul Boyer (1861-1908). He photographed many famous people during his career. This postcard is published by Societe Industrielle de Photograpie (SIP) of Rueil, France and was part of a series (no. 1264). The postmark of this French stamped postcard is from Castelnaudary, France and is dated 1905. It is addressed to Mazamet, France.
