A "Séance" at the Skating Rink, Preston 1877

 

From the Preston Herald, Saturday, February 3rd, 1877.

 

This show presented the effects created by so-called 'mediums' but here clearly defined as illusions, rather than results of interaction with the dead.





Fred Ryedale's Dainty Little Ladies

I haven't been able to find out any further information about this group.  I assume they were touring performers, possibly in the late 1910s or early 1920s.

National Vaudeville Artists Inc. Club House

Located on 229 West 46th Street, New York City, the Club House was acquired for National Vaudeville Artists Inc. in 1919 and provided 'bedrooms, a cafeteria and swimming pool for members, who paid an annual fee of $10' (The Encyclopedia of Vaudeville, Anthony Slide).  A series of postcards was produced showcasing the elegant rooms and facilities.  I possess only two of these, unfortunately.
