Mack Sennet Star Louise Fazenda, circa 1920, by Iris Verlag
Okay, of course we know who's stealing the show in this image, but sadly we know nothing about the cute pup :)
Miss Louise Fazenda (1895-1962) was a very successful actress, appearing in more than 300 films (mostly comedies) over the course of her career. In the early 20s, she also took a break from film and appeared in vaudeville for a time (Thanks Wikipedia!).
If you follow the link below to Youtube, you can enjoy the 1916 comedy short starring Miss Fazenda, "Her Fame and Shame," in which her character "helps out at her papa's beanery, and serves up indigestion a la carte!"

It's hard to find her postcards. This one was published by Iris Verlag, which was pretty much the Austrian version of German publisher Ross Verlag, but we notice the Amag (Albrecht and Meister, a Berlin postcard publisher) logo on the back side of this card too.
A great card, but with a visible crease in the upper left corner.
Please examine our high res scans for detail.
The item you are considering for purchase is, unless otherwise noted, a vintage postcard of approximately 5 and 1/2, by 3 and 1/2 inches. Postage is for fully-insured, first class shipping in a secure photo mailer (to avoid any damage to your purchase in the mails), and we happily combine shipping on all paper goods. If you purchase two cards, we will not charge for postage on the second 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, because of increases in international shipping rates will still be charged one card's shipping fees on orders of three or more. We do not charge for insurance or shipping materials, and as of the date of this listing are still charging below our overall cost on shipping.
