This is Main Street, Rathfarnham in Dublin. Identifiable businesses are a shop proudly announcing that it's a Purveyor of Spratt's Parrot Food, as well as Sunlight and Hudson's Soaps; a bakery; a shop with an NTC or NEC public telephone; P. & J. Hanlon's; C. Jolley & Sons, Rathfarnham Dairy & Select Tea Rooms; Lush's[?];
R. Cooney, Boot Makers; P.J. Gallagher.
No idea what was transported on the cart, but there's tantalising information from its signage: "Ask Vanman For Price List. Post Card brings van to your door" and the fact that the business could be reached at "Phone No. 9 Rathfarnham".

Some months ago I contacted you about an old photograph on your Flickrstream of the Midland Hotel Bradford for possible use in my forthcoming book about Britain’s railway hotels.
I’m pleased to tell you that the photo will feature in “Railway Hotels” due to be issued by Amberley Publishing on September 15th. The book is now available to pre-order online.
More than 100 people and organisations contributed images and I’d like to thank you once again for helping to make the book a very special visual record of Britain’s railway hotels.
Best regards

I am always inspired by the beautiful work done by Jacqueline that I had a try to emulate her style with this tag for Louise's challenge ~ to have "Post Card" on the tag somewhere.
My tag is made up of lots of different things... a digital background from The Graphic Fairy, the photo from Antique Images site, 3 different stamps from Hero Arts and finally some Kaisercraft flowers and unknown brads. Plus lots of distress ink....
On back of post card: On ht summer days this pool is popular with parents and members of Anaheim's younger set as well as visitors from Santa Ana, Orange, Fullerton, Garden Grove and other Orange County communities.
I spent many summer days at Pearson Park and took swimming lessons, two sessions that did not help my fear of the deep water. I later taught myself to swim.
I can well recall the pool being about as crowded as this on hot summer afternoons.

This is the tale of two fishermen (even though one of them is a bird). I really liked the the story telling that shots like this evoke. Neither of the fishermen caught anything but the human fisher dude did throw pieces of cut up bait fish to the fisher bird-dude.
I promise that these shots are the last of my sunset shots until November 1st. I have lots of non-sunset pictures to process and will be putting those up in the future. Thanks for coming along and enjoying the views!

Thanks for looking. I appreciate feedback.
The sky was real threatening all day but thankfully no rain...yet. Tomorrow will evidently be another story with a tropical system trying to develop near the Yucatan in Mexico.
The sky was filled with all kinds of dramatic colors and energy tonight. It reminded me of KikiFL's "It Was a Dark and Stormy Night" series.

The Postcard
A postally unused Philco Series postcard with photography by Claude Harris Ltd.
On the back of the card the publishers have printed: 'Invest in Government Securities'.
The card was posted on Friday the 25th. July 1919 to:
Miss E. Hallam,
43, Oakfield Street,
Altrincham.
The message on the back of the card was as follows:
"Wishing you a very, very
happy birthday and many
more of them.
Love from
Phyllis".
Philco
The Philco Publishing Co. of 1-6 Holborn Place, London were active between 1905 to 1934. They published many different types of artist-signed cards and photo-based view-cards.
They are noted for three large sets representing Faith, Hope, and Charity.
Most of their cards were printed in Germany, although a set of real photo birthday greeting cards were manufactured in Italy.
Miss Gladys Cooper
Gladys Cooper's most noticeable characteristic is that she rarely if ever smiled when being photographed. In some publicity shots she actually looks quite annoyed.
Dame Gladys Constance Cooper, (18th. December 1888 – 17th. November 1971) was an English actress whose career spanned seven decades on stage, in films and on television.
Beginning as a teenager in Edwardian musical comedy and pantomime, she was starring in dramatic roles and silent films before the First World War.
She also became a manager of the Playhouse Theatre from 1917 to 1933, where she played many roles. From the early 1920's, Cooper was winning praise in plays by W. Somerset Maugham and others.
In the 1930's, she was starring both in the West End and on Broadway. Moving to Hollywood in 1940, Cooper found success in a variety of character roles; she was nominated for three Academy Awards, the last one as Mrs. Higgins in 'My Fair Lady' (1964). Throughout the 1950's and 1960's, she mixed her stage and film careers, continuing to star on stage until her last year.
Gladys Cooper - The Early Years
Cooper was born at 23 Ennersdale Road, Hither Green, Lewisham, London, the eldest of the three daughters of Charles William Frederick Cooper and Mabel Barnett.
Gladys Cooper spent most of her childhood in Chiswick, where her family moved when she was an infant.
Gladys made her stage debut in 1905 touring with Seymour Hicks in his musical 'Bluebell in Fairyland'. The young beauty was also a popular photographic model.
In 1906, she appeared as Lady Swan in London in 'The Belle of Mayfair', and then in the pantomime 'Babes in the Wood' as Mavis. The following year she became a chorus girl at the Gaiety Theatre, creating the small role of Eva in 'The Girls of Gottenberg'. That Christmas, she was Molly in 'Babes in the Wood'.
In 1908, she appeared in the musical 'Havana', followed the next year by 'Our Miss Gibbs', in which she played Lady Connie. She was then on tour again with Hicks, in 'Papa's Wife', before playing Sadie von Tromp in the hit operetta 'The Dollar Princess' at Daly's Theatre in 1909.
In 1911, she appeared in a production of 'The Importance of Being Earnest' and in 'Man and Superman'. Among several other plays, the next year she was Muriel Pym in 'Milestones' at the Royalty Theatre. A highlight of 1913 was Dora in 'Diplomacy' at Wyndham's Theatre. That year she also played the title role in 'The Pursuit of Pamela' at the Royalty.
In 1913 Cooper appeared in her first film, 'The Eleventh Commandment', going on to make several more silent films during the Great War and shortly afterwards. She continued full-time stage work, however, including appearances as Lady Agatha Lazenby in 'The Admirable Crichton' in 1916, and Clara de Foenix in 'Trelawny of the Wells'.
In addition, in 1917, Cooper became co-manager, with Frank Curzon, of the Playhouse Theatre, taking over sole control from 1927 until she left in 1933. During these years, she starred several times in 'My Lady's Dress'. She appeared in W. Somerset Maugham's 'Home and Beauty' in 1919, repeated Dora at His Majesty's Theatre in 1920 and elsewhere thereafter, and played numerous roles at the Playhouse Theatre.
Gladys Cooper - The Later Years
It was not until 1922, however, now in her mid thirties, that she found major critical success, in Arthur Wing Pinero's 'The Second Mrs. Tanqueray'. Early in her stage career, she was criticised for being too stiff. Aldous Huxley dismissed her performance in 'Home and Beauty', writing:
"She is too impassive, too statuesque,
playing all the time as if she were Galatea,
newly unpetrified and still unused to the
ways of the living world."
Evidently, her acting improved during this period, as Maugham praised her for:
"Turning herself from an indifferent actress
to an extremely competent one through her
common sense and industriousness".
For both the 1923 and 1924 Christmas shows at the Adelphi Theatre, Cooper played the title character in 'Peter Pan', while also playing several other roles at that theatre during those two years. She appeared in Maugham's 'The Letter' in London and on tour in 1927 and 1928, in 'Excelsior' in 1928, and in Maugham's 'The Sacred Flame' in 1929, also in London and on tour.
Among other roles, Cooper was Clemency Warlock in 'Cynara' (1930), Wanda Heriot in 'The Pelican' (1931), Lucy Haydon in 'Dr Pygmalion' (1932), Carola in 'The Firebird' (1932), Jane Claydon in 'The Rats of Norway' (1933), Mariella Linden in 'The Shining Hour' in 1934 and 1935, in London and New York City and on tour (at the same time making her first "talkie" film, 'The Iron Duke'), also playing Desdemona and Lady Macbeth on Broadway in 1935.
She was Dorothy Hilton in 'Call it a Day', again in both London and New York, from 1935 to 1936. A highlight of 1937 was Laura Lorimer in 'Goodbye to Yesterday' in London and on tour. In 1938, she played Tiny Fox-Collier in 'Spring Meeting' in New York, Montreal and Britain, as well as several Shakespeare roles and Fran Dodsworth in 'Dodsworth'. She repeated 'Spring Meeting' in 1939.
Cooper turned to film full-time in 1940, finding success in Hollywood in a variety of character roles, and was frequently cast as a disapproving, aristocratic society woman, although she sometimes played lively, approachable types, as she did in 'Rebecca' (1940).
She was nominated three times for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performances as Bette Davis's domineering mother in 'Now, Voyager' (1942), a sceptical nun in 'The Song of Bernadette' (1943), and Rex Harrison's mother, Mrs. Higgins, in 'My Fair Lady' (1964).
In 1945, after playing the role of Clarissa Scott in the film 'The Valley of Decision' for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, she was given a contract with the studio. Her credits there included both dramatic and comedy films, including 'The Green Years' (1946), 'The Cockeyed Miracle' (1946) and 'The Secret Garden' (1949).
Other notable film roles were 'The Man Who Loved Redheads' (1955), 'Separate Tables' (1958) and 'The Happiest Millionaire' (1967) as Aunt Mary Drexel, singing "There Are Those".
Her only stage roles in the 1940's were Mrs. Parrilow in 'The Morning Star' in Philadelphia and New York (1942), and Melanie Aspen in 'The Indifferent Shepherd' in Great Britain (1948).
She returned to theatre (between films) more often in the 1950's and 1960's, playing in London and on tour in such roles as Edith Fenton in 'The Hat Trick' (1950); Felicity, Countess of Marshwood, in 'Relative Values' (1951 and 1953); Grace Smith in 'A Question of Fact' (1953); Lady Yarmouth in 'The Night of the Ball' (1954); Mrs. St. Maugham in 'The Chalk Garden' (1955–56), Dame Mildred in 'The Bright One' (1958); Mrs. Vincent in 'Look on Tempests' (1960); Mrs. Gantry (Bobby) in 'The Bird of Time' (1961); Mrs. Moore in a stage adaptation of 'A Passage to India' (1962); Mrs Tabret in 'The Sacred Flame' (1966 and 1967); Prue Salter in 'Let's All Go Down the Strand' (1967); Emma Littlewood in 'Out of the Question' (1968); Lydia in 'His, Hers and Theirs' (1969); and others.
She received two nominations for the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play, for her roles in 'The Chalk Garden' and 'A Passage to India'.
She also had various television roles in the 1950's and '60's. These included, among others, three episodes of 'The Twilight Zone'. In the first, titled "Nothing in the Dark" (1962), she played an old lady who refuses to leave her flat for fear of meeting 'Death'. A young policeman (Robert Redford) is shot at her doorstep and persuades her to let him inside.
Her second appearance was in "Passage on the Lady Anne", which aired on the 9th. May 1963.
Her final episode was the 1964 "Night Call", where she portrayed a difficult, lonely old lady who is besieged by late-night phone calls. Cooper starred in the 1964–65 series 'The Rogues' with David Niven, Charles Boyer, Gig Young, Robert Coote, John Williams and Larry Hagman. The series lasted a single season of thirty episodes, most of which featured Cooper as the matriarch of a crime family.
In 1967, at the age of 79, she was appointed a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE). Her last major success on the stage was at the age of 82, in 1970–71 in the role of Mrs. St. Maugham in Enid Bagnold's 'The Chalk Garden', a role she had created on Broadway and in the West End in 1955–56.
Marriages of Gladys Cooper
Cooper was married three times. Her husbands were:
- Captain Herbert Buckmaster (1908–1921). The couple had two children: Joan (1910–2005), who was married to the actor Robert Morley, and John Rodney (1915–83).
- Sir Neville Pearson (1927–36). Sir Neville and Lady Pearson had one daughter, Sally Pearson, aka Sally Cooper, who was married (1961–86) to actor Robert Hardy.
- Philip Merivale (1937–1946), a fellow actor. The couple lived for many years in Santa Monica, California as permanent resident aliens. He died at age 59 from a heart ailment. Her stepson from this marriage was John Merivale.
Death of Gladys Cooper
Gladys lived mostly in England in her final years, and died from pneumonia at the age of 82 in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire.
Woodrow Wilson
So what else happened on the day that Phyllis posted the card?
Well, on the 25th. July 1919, in Paris, delegates to the peace conference formally approved the establishment of a Commission on the League of Nations. United States president Woodrow Wilson insisted on chairing the commission.
The League's task was simple - to ensure that war never broke out again. In this respect the League was a total failure.
