Welcome to "Idols of the 1920s," where we hope to provide a special, cozy place for those of you who long to linger among the stars of the early silver screen, the hoofers and songbirds of dear old vaudeville's fading hours, a few divas of the grand opera, and of the operetta too, flappers, flappers, more flappers, and of course, and perhaps especially, those femmes fatales who with one smoldering glance can melt a heart, or break it in two. Have fun!
Wonderful early Ross Verlag card of Lucy Doraine, popular star of the silent screen. She was born Ilona Kovacs in Budapest, Hungary in 1898. Between 1918 and 1931, she appeared in 24 films. First in Hungary, then Germany, and finally in Hollywood. She was married to Hollywood director Michael Curtiz for a short time between 1918, and 1923. He was also Hungarian, and incidentally directed some really HUGE films, like "The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood" with Errol Flynn and Claudette Colbert, and "Casablanca" with ... we don't even have to tell ya that! :)
Many thanks to Wikipedia for most of our biographical info!

If you purchase two cards, the price is the same as for a single card, and when you purchase three or more cards from us at the same time, your shipping will be entirely free, except for international orders which, due to the costs of international shipping will still be charged one card's shipping fees on orders of three or more.
