GLADYS ARCHBUTT & HER DOG : CHILD DANCER & ADULT MUSICAL COMEDY STAR : RPPC

Description: change publisher and condition............add dog cross leged prettyThis vintage real photo postcard features English actress Gladys Archbutt (1889-1968). Miss Archbutt was photographed sitting cross legged, holding a small dog. Her calves are exposed, or at least they are covered by nude stockings. The exposure of her lower legs make this postcard risque. Archbutt began her career as a child actress and dancer. She then launched a career in musical comedies in both Europe and the United States. She appeared in three Broadway musicals “London Follies” (1911), “The Balky Princess”, and “The Lamb of Delft”. She was sitter for five portraits in the National Portrait Gallery’s collection. Archbutt was married to Edwyn Ingram Gibbons in 1909. He was killed during World War I. The photographers of these images include Alexander Bassano, Lallie Charles, The Royal Magazine (1908) ran a story about Miss Archbutt. She tells the story of one of her theatrical career “adventures”. Her company was playing in Wales and their manager departed without warning. The cast did not have the money needed to return home to London and they decided to continue performing. They soon learned that the scenery from the show had been hocked and they had to buy it back. Needless to say, the company eventually earned their way home. She tells an additional story of a time where she was almost guillotined by a falling curtain. Her role in that production required her to faint and drape herself over her fathers “dead” body. Unfortunately, the actor playing her father had fallen dead in the wrong spot on the stage. As the curtain fell, the actors on the stage whispered that she needed to move from her precarious position. Being a dedicated performer, she would not move away because she was supposed to be in an unconscious state. She states she narrowly avoided being badly hurt. This vintage postcard was published by The Philco Publishing Company and is part of a series (no.3208C).The company was located in London. This vintage postcard is in excellent condition (see scans).
