Description: This PHOTOGRAPHIC card was given away by the T & D Oakland Photo Theatre They were used to advertise and promote up coming Movies. In this case it features a black and white photographic image of BILLIE BURKE. Here is some information I found about her on the internet: Mary William Ethelbert Appleton "Billie" Burke (August 7, 1884 – May 14, 1970)[1] was an American actress.[2] She is primarily known to modern audiences as Glinda the Good Witch of the North in the musical film The Wizard of Oz. She was nominated for an Academy Award for her performance as Emily Kilbourne in Merrily We Live. Burke was also the wife of Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr., of Ziegfeld Follies fame, from 1914 until his death. The back is promoting her 1917 film “THE MYSTERIOUS MISS TERRY” that was showing. The card measures 2 ¾ inches by 1 ¾ inches. The card does have some corner creasing and areas of discoloration. I think it displays very well. It is a very pretty image. Who ever the photographer was, they captured a stunning image of her. This is a great cross over collectable. Coveted by card collectors and those who collect memorabilia from the early days of the film industry. I will be trying to list several EARLY TRADE & TYPE CARDS over the next few days (spread across different categories), including one or two that are unrecorded in any guide, that were put given away with Tobacco, Cigarettes, Caramel, Candy, Gum, Chocolate, Bread Coffee Tea Cereal and other products, covering such diverse subjects as Native American Indians , Baseball , Football, Boy Scouts, Ice Hockey, Golf, Presidents of the United States, NCAA and IVY League Colleges and Universities, Dog Breeds and Circus themes and many many more.
