My digital entry for Crowabout on Flickr week 92. The background picture is from Ruby's Treasures, and some elements from Tangie Baxter. Most images from Nancy Baumillers collage sheet.
I love the Cheshire cat the most...

Last days of Vaudeville

This is a picture of Thelma Rose at her last day on the job at the Orpheum Vaudeville Theater in the Bowery. Moving pictures were becoming the rage and patrons of the Orpheum were awfully rowdy. Thelma Rose just dodged the tomatoes being thrown at the stage. The boxing twins known as Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum were dejected at the lack of respect and joined a carnival in Rhode Island.
Thelma Rose became a Coca Cola model in magazines and later a silent film star.
