This vintage real photo postcardfeatures a portrait of the multi talented actress, dancer, and singer, Gaby Deslys (1881-1920). Miss Deslys performed at the beginning of the twentieth century in both Europe and the United States. She was extremely popular worldwide. In fact, she was able to earn four thousand dollars a week when performing in the United States. She performed several times on Broadway. She had a dance named after her, “The Gaby Glide” (1911). You can find the sheet music, with Gaby on the cover, elsewhere on . Her love life was the topic of much public gossip. She probably added to the sensationalism surrounding her by posing in a number of risque postcards. She was courted by many wealthy and powerful men, including the King of Portugal. Her life was cut short by the “Spanish” influenza. This postcard is not very common. The card captures Deslys in costume for her role in \"Aladdin\". The card is color tinted. Note the size of Gaby\'s waist. A tight corset is doing it\'s job. The postcard was published by Philco of Great Britain as part of a series (no.3265B). Gaby Deslys was certainly a beautiful and talented performer. This vintage postcard is in very good condition (see scans).
