Description: circa 1907 MISS BONNIE MAGINN AMERICAN STAGE ACTRESS POSTCARD ONE OF THOUSANDS OF ITEMS IN OUR EBAY STORE ! AGE: circa 1905 - 1908 DESCRIPTION: "MISS BONNIE MAGINN." This SCARCE postcard offers a tinted view of Miss Bonnie Maginn, an American stage actress of the late 19th and early 20th century! According to Wikipedia, Maginn was an artists' model, ‘said to be the most pictured young woman of her age in America’ in 1901, and a vaudeville performer, usually in soubrette roles, in the Weber & Fields shows in New York. In 1901 she shared the bill with David Warfield, Fay Templeton, DeWolf Hopper and Lillian Russell in Fiddle-Dee-Dee at the Chicago Opera House. She was a featured dancer in Klaw and Erlanger's ill-fated production of Mr. Blue Beard, when it opened at Chicago's Iroquois Theatre in 1903. She and the rest of the cast survived the massive and fatal theatre fire during the show's run….In 1904, she appeared in Frank Daniels' The Office Boy; ‘she sings after the manner of pretty soubrettes,’ reported one reviewer, ‘whose cuteness covers a multitude of deficiencies.’ In the 1904-1905 season, she was cast in Joe Weber's Higgledy-Piggledy and The College Widower, and in 1906, she toured with Weber's company, performing with Marie Dressler and Flora Zabelle, among others. She retired from the stage before 1910.” A nice addition to your early theater actor postcard collection!
