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.
