Between the Acts Actresses - T26 Set Information written by Bob Forbes

This series was issued circa 1903 by the American Tobacco Company in packages of its Between the Acts Little Cigars. It includes both American and foreign stars from the stage and opera. One notable is Nellie Melba, an Australian soprano, who was pne of the most popular singers in opera houses around the world and for whom Melba toast was named. There are two groups of 25 actresses. The first group has a ribbon frame around the portrait and the second has an oval beaded frame.
