Postcard for David Belasco's theatrical performance of A Good Little Devil (1913) at the Republic Theatre in New York. On stage photographs by White Studio. "An interesting scene from David Belasco’s great production of the Rostand fairy play at the Republic Theatre, New York, with Ernest Truex, Mary Pickford and Henry Stanford. Arthur Hill impersonates Rab, the dog."
Postcard for David Belasco's theatrical performance of A Good Little Devil (1913) at the Republic Theatre in New York. On stage photographs by White Studio. "Juliet sits by the wishing-well in her wonderful garden and makes her wish: 'I want to be Charle's wife.' The fairies hear it and smile their approval." --From David Belasco's fairy play triumph at the Republic Theatre, New York." The victorian figures flanking the photo are illustrations by Kate Greenaway. Pictured are Lillian Gish, Wilda Bennett, Claire Burke, Mary Pickford, Peggie Wallace, Georgia Fursman and Edna Griffin.
I've seen at least two other designs out there: One depicting a photograph of “Rosemond Gerard (Madame Edmond Rostand) and her son, Maurice Rostand, authors of ‘A Good Little Devil.’” And the other with “Ernest Truex who plays the boy, Charles MacLance, in David Belasco’s remarkable production of the Rostand fair play for grown-ups.”
While I would have assumed they were issued by the Republic Theatre, as evidenced by the theatre being explicitly noted on one of the designs, I have seen a case where they were given away at the performance at a different theatre in a different city -- meaning perhaps they were generically made by Belasco for the production, or more likely, there were simply overstock left to dispense elsewhere.
