This vintage theater advertisement is for a play called "Human Hearts". This ad was from 1896. This ad is so beautiful!!!! The care put into it is something that has yet to be accomplished today. I found this info from http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com: BEDFORD WEEKLY MAIL BEDFORD, INDIANA FRIDAY, MAY 17, 1901 HUMAN HEARTS Grand Opening Of Stone City Opera House With An Idyl Of The Arkansas Hills. A splendid company of players will present this famous production exactly as presented for 300 nights at Fifth Ave., Theater New York, one night only; with special scenery for each act., Thursday May 16th. "Human Hearts" which comes to the Stone City Opera House May 16, is probably the most perfect staged play before the public. Each act has its own scenery, properties and accessories. The company selected by the management is way above the average seen with traveling organizations for high salaried people are required to portray the intricate action, pathos and comedy of the play. A glance over the cast of characters will convince those who are at all posted in dramatic matters that the weekly salary list must be exceedingly large for a traveling organization. The play itself is clean, clear and cleverly woven together. The dialogue is that bright every day language that you hear fall from the mouths of living people, and not the old fashioned rant. The fact that the play is in its fifth season warrants the statement that its simplicity, truthfulness and varied human interest pleases the masses. It never fails to hold an audience and all local managers as well as their patrons speak of "Human Hearts" as a production possessing great power to move and entertain. Those who have seen it always go again and take others with them. Indeed it would be remarkable if such a good play well staged, should not prove a drawing card when enacted by such sterling actors as Fred FAIRBANKS, who essays the part of Tom Logan, the village smithy. Mr. Sull GUARD, who appeared last season to such good advantage in Armsdale, the villain. Mr. Ed. McHUGH, will also be remembered for his good work as a Jem Mason in the Fifth Avenue production of "Human Hearts", in New York is again in the cast. Rose EMERSON in the beautiful character of Ruth, who caused them to smile through tears and Miss Eulalia BENNETT, who enacted the adventuress Jeanette so well that they fairly hated her for her fine acting. Tom Logan's blind mother, Samantha is in the hands of that cleaver actress Miss Josephine SUTHERLAND. The cunning little bootblack "Limpy Morgan" who gets tangled in the meshes of misfortune is the same Miss Myra KETCHEM, who caused such shouts of laugher last season in the same part. Little Baby ROYAL one of the cleverest child actresses in America is seen as Baby Logan. Three tots ranging in age from eleven months to four years of age help to perfect this beautiful heart play, and with their mother they will make the long tour with the company this season, playing in addition to the Eastern Cities the whole of the Pacific Slope Region. Seats on sale at ELLIOTT's drug store. I would love to see that!!! It sounds so interesting!!!!

I can't wait until March 20th, the FIRST DAY OF SPRING!!!!!! That will be good!! It isn't really that spring-like here in NYC. It will probably take forever for it to warm up. I really hope it does soon!!!! Anyways, I hope you like this 1940s pin-up!!!! Oh, Spring! Where are you? You should be here right now!! It's only 38 degrees F outside- when it should be 50!
Happy Monday!! There is a Hazardous Weather Outlook in effect!!! WHEN will this winter weather disappear?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!??!??! I am SO glad it's March!!!!! Even though it's snowing in NYC, I still feel like Spring is coming. I wish it was here already!!! I can't wait for warm temperatures and not having to wear a coat. I can't wait for the flowers to grow and sunny, blue skies. I can't wait for the playgrounds to open back up. I can't wait to go outside at recess! Here is a postcard to celebrate!!!!! Happy Sunday!!!
Spring is right around the corner!!!! This vintage hat is very tall!! I'm sure you would get some eyebrows raised at you if you wore it outside today!! Still, it's a pretty hat. And look at that feather! I haven't seen many hats with feathers in my day. Still, it's an interesting hat!!!! This image comes from http://olddesignshop.com
Happy Tuesday!! Tomorrow's Humpday!!!! Miss Modern magazine was a magazine from the 1930s. I first heard about it in my Fashion: The Definitive History of Costume and Style. It's the WHOLE entire history of fashion, from Ancient Egypt all the way through today. It's really interesting!! I love it. Anyways, this magazine is British and has a girl who looks like she's at school, thinking about the answer to a question. That is a wonderful peach dress!!!! I love how this magazine has bright colors. That magazine is the spitting image of the 1930s!!!!!
Happy Sunday!!!! |
