Paulino and Zeze- I know nothing about this card. If anybody has any information please post it.
Fregoli- This is a reproduction of an original. Fregoli was a quick change artist, very famous during the vaudeville era
A 1993 Festival in Italy.
DeWitt, Young and Sister- The College Boy Juggler. I suspect that there is a very interesting story behind this card. Young was a very famous juggler, DeWitt is a very famous name in Juggling, and 'College Boy Juggler' was a very early juggling skit. This card is an American card dated 1908 and sent to Ohio- a hotbed of early American juggling. Somebody, somewhere will have a story about this one, I'm sure.
I found this one while cleaning my house. Judith Anderson, a very famous Australian actor, in a Criterion Theatre Sydney production.
Another Italian festival.
On the back of this picture postcard it says, ' Doris and Dessy' Danceurs......acrobatique" Obviously French. It looks like it's been taken from somebody's photo album and I picked it up in Florence.
I've just learned that Dewitt Young is the brother of much more famous juggler Ollie Young.
