Gorgeous, hand-tinted nude by J. Mandel, circa 1920s. Some of the coloring is apparent on the back of the card (a common enough occurrence with deeply tinted cards) There is also a small amount of smudging in the color at the left side of her waist (her left).Lovely condition otherwise, with very minor wear to edges and corners. Quite a find, as these colored versions are very difficult to find.

The "Baby-doll" act was a common and popular feature in theatrical sketch comedy during the vaudeville days. Though we can't think of any such routines in the present day (and certainly cannot claim to have a finger on the pulse of modern entertainment, anyway), it does put us in mind of the character "Edith Ann" portrayed in sketches by the great talent Lily Tomlin, on the short-lived vaudevillesque television program of the late 1960s, "Laugh In."

Wonderful pose and costume. Great doll, too! :) A short run RPPC by a local Belgian photographer, apparently of Miss Ninon Dolnay, of whom we find scant mention online, snippets regarding a few productions, but nothing to let us know, really, anything about the show, her part, history, etc. In short, Miss Dolnay was probably a player who never quite made the big time, but the image is a lot of fun, and as with so many of these wonderful old RPPCs, may well be the only one of its kind still in existence!

This is possibly autographed by Miss Dolnay, but since the name appears on the backside with no further text, and is followed by a period, we very much doubt it. Nice unposted condition.

Such fun! We really had to bring this strange little card into the shop, especially with the love poem, written in a fine hand, on the back side.

We couldn't find any reference to a poem, "Beau char d'amour," so perhaps the sender composed it themselves, rather than borrowing it. Are love poems written on the backs of postcards a little silly? Well, even if reading them second-hand sometimes gives us a chuckle, I think we all appreciate the sender's attempt at expressing that very special inexpressible :)

"Beau char d'amour
Apporte la ma toute belle
Pour que le lui dise un jour
Le que j'attends d'Elle"

this can "sort of" be translated as:

Oh beautiful chariot of love
Bring to me my pretty one
And on that day, I'll share with her
My treasured expectation.

What if this card, and its message, was a signal to mark the timing of a prearranged meeting, a tryst, or a running off together..."sigh" :) Both sender and recipient are probably dust now, but such a treasure of life these scraps of paper, pigment and ink, share with us today!

Jane Margyl (sometimes de Margyl) 1874-1907 began making her mark as an interpretive dancer in 1897, at the Folies Bergere where she performed the title role in Germain's ballet-pantomime Phryné. That role had been performed the previous season by Cleo de Merode, a tough act to follow, but the critics loved her, and she played the part more than 200 times.

Mlle. Margyl continued at the Folies Bergere for a few years appearing in a number of key roles alongside other important dancers of the time, like Jeanne Thylda and Odette Valery. She enjoyed great success but was drawn to singing, and after applying herself to that art, debuted as a mezzo-soprano at the Opéra Comique, with Emma Calvé, in Cavalleria rusticana, in 1902.

In 1904 she joined the Opéra de Paris, always moving forward with dramatic success in her career. Sadly, in 1907, at age 33, Mlle. Margyl suffered an attack of appendicitis and died.

She was greatly loved and much missed. A statue by the sculptor François Sicard marks her grave in the Cimetière des Batignolles of Paris (see the photo in our listing images). It depicts Music mourning her loss. Apparently her sister Martha, who bore a close resemblance to her, was the model for the statue.

Liane Haid (1895-2000) is sometimes called the first Austrian film star. She was very popular in the 1920s silents, and trained as a singer, she had no problem with the transition to the talkies in the 1930s.
According to Wikipedia, she refused offers from Hollywood, but left Germany for Switzerland in the early 1940s, marrying a count and though she made a very few further appearances, pretty much retiring from film.
She passed away in Bern, Switserland, in the year 2000 at 105 years old!

This image is from the 1922 feature film, "Lucrezia Borgia." What magnificent hair! :)

If you follow the link below to Youtube, you can see a clip from the film, in a scene shared by Fraulein Haid and the great Conrad Veidt.

Charming image of Miss Del Rio wearing kokoshnik, published by Ross Verlag and Ballerini and Fratini.

Though at the time this Ross Verlag card was published (1929/30), Dolores Del Rio was a huge star of silent films in Hollywood, and just beginning to stretch into the "talkie" roles, to call her a silent film star leaves out all the rest. This actress, dancer, muse, had a truly magnificent career. She easily made the change from the silents to the talkies, she did radio, television, she was a star in Hollywood, in Europe (winning at Cannes), and was probably the biggest star of Latin America during the first half of the 20th century. She took Orson Welles as her lover, supported the losing side in the Spanish Civil War, and so (for both of those reasons), wound up in hot water with the HUAC boys. She was close friends with Marlene Dietrich, Charlie Chaplin, and Evita Peron, and...well...we could go on and on, but do check out the Wikipedia article. She led a fascinating life.

It is remarkable just how few people today are aware of the actual facts behind the story known as Cinderella. Yes, the real Cinderella did live in a rambling old house with a cruel stepmother and stepsisters. And yes, she did have a fairy godmother who helped her gain entrance to the royal ball. But once there, what she and the prince actually got up to makes for a much more interesting tale.

And it wasn't so much the glass slipper, or even the calling card she left behind her, that prompted our prince to search hither, thither and yon, as that Cinderella, the vixen, made off with his best pair of trousers! Yes, Cinderella was much put upon, it is true, but she was also quite the prankster.

Still, you will be happy to know that in the true story, things worked out in much the same way as they did in the tamer version. The cruel stepmother and stepsisters did suffer for their behavior in a very satisfying way, and Mr. and Mrs. Charming did live happily ever after...that is as long as his royal highness kept in mind, just who it was that actually wore the pants in that family.

Now you tell one :)

Okay, but really, we are guessing this is an image from a Gypsy Clairvoyant act of the sort where he would stand up on the stage, and answer audience questions about the dear departed, lost jewelry, etc., evading, as best he could, those questions pertaining to his beautifully embroidered underwear :)

Sarah Bernhardt in Crown and Lalique Tiara, by Reutlinger, circa 1900

Breathtaking portrait by Leopold Reutlinger, of French actress of stage and screen, Sarah Bernhardt. We believe this to be one of a series done by Reutlinger in 1895.

Once known as the “First Lady of the Stage” and the “Divine Sarah,” Bernhardt is probably better known today for the marvelous poster images of her produced by those masters of Belle Époque advertising art, such as Alphonse Mucha.

In this image, the Divine Sarah is in costume as Melisande in "La Princesse Lointaine," ("The Princess Far Away"), a play written by Edmond Rostand. The play was produced in 1895 and performed at the Sarah Bernhardt Theatre in Paris. Although Sarah appears to be wearing a single headpiece in the photograph, we believe this to be two separate pieces which work together, a large crown at the center of a more delicate tiara of pearl-encrusted flowers.

**Note** One of our wonderful customers let us know that these Art Nouveau flowers worn by Mme. Bernhardt, were actually designed by Alphonse Mucha! Searching the internet for more information, we learned that the tiara was apparently a separate piece from the crown, and had been made by René Lalique, apparently working to Mucha's design. We are not often able to see the actual accoutrements worn by the subjects of our images, but in this case, we have found a modern photograph of the tiara, credited on Pinterest as being from the Musée et Bibliothèque de l’Opera Paris, although we have not been able to find the original source of the image on that site. The image of the tiara, of course, is not for sale; we are selling only the Reutlinger postcard!

Thanks to all those who write in with help and information. You not only make the existence of Red Poulaine possible with your purchases, but your willingness to share your knowledge and experience helps to make Red Poulaine, our own revolving museum exhibit of small, popular art, much more entertaining and informative!
