First editions, thus, of these scarce theatre programmes detailing the life and successful rising career of the actress often called "The American Sarah Bernhardt" who appeared in wildly successful The Heart of Maryland in 1898, the long running Zaza beginning in 1898, and later Madame du Barry afterwards. She was the Progressive Era's great dramatic actress, and would later star in silent films and vaudeville as well. Her film biography appeared in 1940 as the Warner Bros. film, Lady with the Red Hair starring Miriam Hopkins, Claude Rains, Richard Ainley, and others.
