About This Item
9.5 x 12.25" brown and black string-bound scrapbook documenting the career of Dolores Peters. The folder is loosely filled with 10 stunning photos from Dolores' modeling and drama career; she appears to have modeled fur coats in some of the pictures, and others are taken from a vaudeville show that she was part of. An envelope contains a negative of Dolores showing her ballet moves. There is also a color sketch of Dolores based on one of her modeling shots from 1922. Photographs vary in size, but generally measure between 2.75 x 4.5" x 10.25 x 8," and all have wear, including chips and tape. The rest of the scrapbook contains newspaper clippings and programs related to shows that Dolores took part in, which mainly seems to have been the Greenwich Village Follies in the early 1920s. One of the clippings mentions that Dolores is the younger sister of singer George Peters and pianist Jessie Peters. There is a of B.F. Keith's Theatre News program and one from the Globe Theatre in Atlantic City. Some of the paper is brittle and the whole collection needs preservation.
