This is the back of the Cousin Carrie page. Don't recognize any of these 1926 theatrical stars.Metta Wooster looks like she might have had the wise-cracking Eve Arden role of early Broadway. Her barely disguised sneer stands out from the rest of the romantics and vamps on the page.
I love it that there were single-named vamps too, like Mitzi
ReplyDeleteMetta Wooster is my great grandmother.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! Have you heard many stories about her career in the theater?
