British stage and film actress Ada Reeve (1874-1966) was much loved on three continents. She was one of the most popular British singing comediennes of all time, and considered to be a headliner in variety and vaudeville. She was endowed with a softness of voice and delicacy of performance that quite set her apart from virtually all of her more raucous contemporaries in the music halls and popularised many memorable songs.
Ada Reeve was born as Adelaide Mary Isaacs in London, England, in 1874. She was the first of many children of minor actor Charles Reeves and dancer Harriet Saunders. ‘Little Ada Reeves’ made her first stage appearance at just four years old in the pantomime Red Riding Hood at the Pavilion Theatre in London in 1878. A series of pantomime and dramatic roles followed. Her talent, even at so early an age was obvious and Ada soon became the family meal ticket. As a teenager, it became apparent that musical comedy was Ada's particular talent and she began working as a music hall performer under the name Ada Reeve. She soon became firmly established as one of the principal light comedy artistes and sang many songs which attained great popularity. Her She Was a Clergyman’s Daughter was a seemingly innocent, but actually risqué music hall song about a clergyman's daughter who was not as naive or charitable as she would have you imagine. Reeve performed the song in a demure costume of a flounced dress and bonnet, letting the audience in on the racy innuendos of the song through knowing winks and gestures.
In 1894, Ada married actor Bert Gilbert and returned to mainstream theatre, first touring as Haidee in Don Juan. Later that year she became one of George Edwardes famous Gaiety girls and made her West End Debut as Bessie Brent in The Shop Girl. She neglected to tell Edwardes that she was pregnant when offered the part, and had to leave midway through the run of 546 performances as her condition became more delicate. She returned in All Abroad at the Criterion Theatre (1895), and as the title character in the hit The Girl from Paris (1896) at the Duke of York's Theatre. She and her husband then toured Australia. However, the marriage with Gilbert had turned sour, with Reeve claiming extreme cruelty and petitioning for divorce while still in Australia. On the return sea journey to England, Reeve was forced to appeal to the captain of the ship for protection from him. Once in England, the couple separated, and the divorce was finalized in 1900. Ada Reeve settled in London with her two daughters, Bessie Adelaide Hazlewood (1895) and Lillian Mary "Goody" Hazlewood (1897).
In 1898, Reeve played the role of Madame Celeste in Milord, Sir Smith, followed by the role of Cleopatra in The Great Caesar in 1899. Later that year, she created the role of Lady Holyrood in the hit musical comedy Florodora at the Lyric Theatre. In 1900-01, she again toured Australia, in Florodora. Reeve joined the cast of the hit musical San Toy, in 1901, and later took over the title role from Marie Tempest. Reeve remarried in 1902 to manager and actor Wilfred Cotton. Under his management, she played Miss Ventnor in The Medal and the Maid. Next (1903) and the title role in Winnie Brooke, Widow (1904). In 1906, Reeve toured South Africa with her husband, becoming very popular. And in 1909, they toured South Africa again. Over the following years, Reeve played in variety in England and enjoyed extensive foreign tours, including South Africa and the USA in 1911, South Africa in 1913, Australia in 1914, Australia and South Africa in 1918, South Africa in 1920, Australia from 1922 to 1924, and in 1926 and 1929, the last time playing in vaudeville.
Ada Reeve was absent from England from 1929 to 1935. Both of her daughters, Bessie and Goody, had in the meantime settled in Australia, where both married and had children, Goody becoming a well known radio personality. Bessie died of an illness in 1954. Upon Ada's return to England, she appeared in cabarets, revues and variety. Her next dramatic role was in 1940 in the musical Black Velvet. During the 1940’s and 1950’s she would appear between stage performances in nine films. The first was the fantasy They Came to a City (1945, Basil Dearden) starring Googie Withers. In this film she repeated her stage performance as charwoman Mrs. Batley in J.B. Priestley's play They Came To A City. However, her first film appearance had been some 25 years earlier, in the silent film Comradeship (1919, Maurice Elvey), a war drama starring Lily Elsie. Her other film roles s included supporting parts in the romantic comedy Dear Mr. Prohack (1949, Thornton Freeland) with Cecil Parker, the Film-Noir Night and the City (1950, Jules Dassin) starring Richard Widmark, and I Believe in You (1952, Basil Dearden, Michael Relph) with Celia Johnson. At the age of 80, she retired from the stage but made two more films, the last of which was at the age of 83, in the comedy A Passionate Stranger (1957, Muriel Box) with Ralph Richardson. She also appeared on tv in episodes of Lilli Palmer Theatre(1956) and Nicholas Nickleby (1957). Ada Reeve died in London, in 1966, at the age of 92. She could look back on a career that had spanned almost eighty years from her first childhood performance on stage to her last veteran appearance on film. Her autobiography was published as Take It For A Fact.

Ada Kramm (née Ada Egede-Nissen, 14 March 1899 – 17 December 1981) was a Norwegian stage and film actress whose career spanned more than six decades. In the late 1910s, she acted in German films as Ada van Ehlers.
Born Ada Egede-Nissen in Vardø, Finnmark, Norway, her parents were the Norwegian politician Adam Egede-Nissen (1868–1952) and Georga ("Goggi") Wilhelma Ellertsen (1871–1959). She had ten siblings; six of her siblings, Aud Egede-Nissen (1893–1974), Gerd Grieg (1895–1988), Oscar Egede-Nissen (1903–1976), Stig Egede-Nissen (1907–1988), Lill Egede-Nissen (1909–1962) and Gøril Havrevold (1914–1992), all became stage and film actors. When she was eleven years old, the family moved to Stavanger, where she began studying at the Stavanger Faste Scene (Stavanger Fixed Scene) theatre. She made her stage début in 1916 in Selma Lagerlöf's Dunungen.
In 1917, Kramm accompanied her two older sisters Aud and Gerd to Berlin, Germany where the three young women opened a small film production and distribution company called the Egede-Nissen Film Company (ENF). The trio used the studio to promote themselves in film roles directed by Georg Alexander from 1917 until 1920. Kramm appeared in a number of crime serials as the character Ada van Ehlers beginning in 1917, e.g. Ein Detektiv-Duell (Alexander, 1917), Verkauftes Glück (Alexander, 1918), and Erblich belastet (1919). All in all she starred in eight films by Alexander, almost always with Alexander himself in the male lead. In 1920 she married German violinist Hugo Kramm and began using her married name as a professional moniker and the young newly-weds returned to Norway. They later had a daughter together, actress Ilse Kramm (born 1934).
From 1921 until 1924 Kramm appeared at the Bergen and Den Nationale Scene. After her husband joined the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra in 1924 they moved to Oslo and she worked at Det Nye Teater (The New Theatre) from 1925 until 1928, the Centralteatret (Central Theatre) from 1928 to 1934 and later at the Nationaltheatret (National Theatre). She also returned to film, and appeared in roles in the 1928 Norwegian-German coproduction of Schneeschuhbanditen/ Snowshoe Bandits (dir. Uwe Jens Krafft) opposite her sister Aud and Austrian actor Paul Richter and the 1930 film Eskimo (dir. George Schnéevoigt), opposite Mona Mårtenson and again Paul Richter. The later film was the first Norwegian sound film spoken in Norwegian, even if a Danish-Norwegian co-production. In 1932 a German version of Eskimo was released as Der weiße Gott, while also a French version was made.
Kramm spent the next several decades on Norwegian stages in productions by Henrik Ibsen, August Strindberg, Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller. At age 72 she appeared in the role of Aunt Julie in Hedda Gabler on a tour of Japan. After over six decades on stage, she went into semi-retirement and occasionally made appearances on Norwegian television. Her last role before her death was in the 1979 Anja Breien-directed, Palme d'Or nominated dramatic film Arven (Heritage) with Espen Skjønberg, Anita Björk and Jan Hårstad. Ada Kramm died on 17 December 1981 in Oslo at age eighty-two and was buried in the Vestre gravlund cemetery.

Chikankari may traditionally be done on white fabric but the traditional ball of the Cricket World Cup used to be red. It was changed to white because of its better visibility under floodlights.

Look who arrived!
I've been waiting for this little creep for ages!

1890's photograph by Albert W. Huntington, Princeton, Illinois.
Ada was born in Tiskilwa, Illinois, August 11, 1862. She was the daughter of the daughter of William McKay Harsh and his wife, Mary Josephine Bacon. Ada married Robert William Hewitt in 1892. They became the parents of one daughter, Josephine Hewitt (1898-1980). They were living in Troy, Monroe County, Iowa, in 1900, and in Burlington, Iowa thereafter. Ada died in Burlington on August 25, 1937.
Cabinet-style portrait by Press Illustrators, Washington, D.C. - written on the reverse is: "Ada Byrne / Ada's 2 daughters Bessie / Nannie."
At center here are very likely Ada Virginia Byrne (née Smarr, 1865-1942) and her daughters Bessie Ethyl (later Fridley, dates unknown) and Nannie E. (later McNamara, sometimes given as Mack, 1889-1960).
Given the resemblance, I am guessing that the other women are relatives, possibly her mother (Anne Elizabeth Smarr Bradford, dates unknown) and grandmother.
Born in Fauquier Co., VA, Byrne was married to Charles M. Byrne (1851-1910), a sheet metal worker, and appears to have begun keeping a boarding house after his death. When she died shortly before her 77th birthday, she had been a resident of Washington for 44 years. Byrne was long active in a variety of DC sororal organizations, playing the piano and serving in ceremonial and administrative roles in groups like the Eastern Star, the Pioneer Club and the Women's Benefit Association.
She is buried with her husband, Nannie, and her son Charles Cleveland Burns (1885-1922) in Falls Church, VA's Oakwood Cemetery. Her final DC address was the still standing 24 Logan Circle, NW.
My friend Ada has arrived at the "pretty in pink" party. She selected this pink satin ballgown from my collection and I helped her put it on. Her dress has a long and wide satin skirt so she's kneeling down on the floor to display her beautiful satin skirt all around her. I can't resist kneeling behind her and touch her soft satin shoulders for a fun picture together. Clearly we're super happy together in our pretty pink dresses.

Hayat, sen miydin tek düze?
Biz miydik, günleri sıralayan tek düze..
Didinip didinip kazıp çıkardığımız
Kumdan bir kule,
Dalgalara kapılıp gitmekte.
Ya o heyecanla kurduğumuz
Tahtadan kule,
Neden her seferinde yıkılmaya
Mahkum edilmekte ?
Hayat, hadi artık söyle
Oyunu kuran sen olduğun sürece.
Benim adım "oyunbozan" de
O ise tek sual etmekte;
Hani, teslimiyetin nerede?
