EDITORS COMMENTS
Beatrice Lillie, the enchanting British revue actress and comedienne, poses confidently for this vintage cig card. Born in 1898 as Beatrice Florence Blume, she later adopted the stage name Lady Peel, becoming a beloved figure in the entertainment industry of the early 20th century. Known for her wit, charm, and captivating stage presence, Lillie graced the stages of London's West End and Broadway, as well as the silver screen. This photograph captures Lillie in her prime, exuding an air of sophistication and playfulness. The cig card format, popular during the early 1900s, was a marketing tool used by tobacco companies to promote their brands. However, this particular card stands out not just for its attractive subject, but also for the glimpse it offers into the era of vaudeville and music hall entertainment. Lillie's career spanned over seven decades, during which she starred in numerous revues, musicals, and films. Some of her most notable works include "The Three Musketeers of the Macintosh," "The Girl in the Limelight," and "The Man Who Came to Dinner." Her talent extended beyond acting, as she was also an accomplished singer and dancer. Despite her success, Lillie remained grounded and humble, often crediting her fans for her achievements. In her own words, "An artist is nothing without an audience." This cig card serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of Beatrice Lillie and her contributions to the world of entertainment.
