Autograph Note signed: "Madge Kendal", 4½x3½ postcard
postmarked London, May 20, 1903. To Gerald Christy, London, in
full: "[illegible place name] is a long way off when you can do
better near - can you? I think say no". Madge Kendal (1848-1935) born in
Great Gimsby, England, married actor William (Grimston) Kendal (1843-1917), who
took her name, in 1869, and the couple starred in stage performances from
Shakespeare to the "fairy comedies" of W. S. Gilbert, touring the US for the
first time in 1889. The Kendal's, who helped restore respectability to the
London theatre after a period of disrepute, retired in 1908. Outliving her
husband by nearly two decades, she became a Dame Grand Cross of the British
Empire in 1927. Soiled. Large 1 inch tear on bottom left corner, though
piece is still present. Lightly toned. Corners lightly worn and creased. Ink
