For a long time I just assumed that Sarah Bernhardt was the inspiration for that movie. That got me interested in her, and I added her to my 'must find' autograph list. Ended up picking up two at the same time, including a signed Nadar cabinet.

You have good taste - to me, Maude Adams was one of the most beautiful celebrities of that period.

Scott - She was a popular actress. They even made a full size solid gold statue of her. Signed cabinets are great. I've seen some sell for hundreds of dollars.

Years ago I attended a book fair where I purchased over 100 turn-of-the-century tobacco actress cards. While thumbing through them, I saw the usual assortment of overweight women in tights or other unusual costumes. Then suddenly this card appeared and I was smitten. That was the start of my collection.

I collect most things from the 1930's ; I don't know why....lately I've been looking at a '38 Packard convertible , white , with sidemounts , (we live near Hershey ,Pa. where the AACA holds the big show every October ) but ''SheWhoMustBeObeyed'' isn't of the same mindset just yet-......I'm probably the only guy on this forum with that problem.
