Ada Reeve

British postcard in the Milton Photolette Series, nr. 42 by Woolstone Bros., London. Sent by mail in 1908.

 

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.
