Well Corseted Glamour – The Sketch – Wednesday 20th March 1940
WELL-CORSETED GLAMOUR.
ANN SHERIDAN, the Warner Brothers star, proves in her new picture, “IT ALL CAME TRUE,” that the Edwardian underwear which seems so comical to modern eyes was not entirely without glamour and charm.

About
My wife, bless her tells me that I am rapidly becoming, or perhaps that should read have become a “Grumpy old fart”, so what better forum to spread my doom, gloom and paranoia than WordPress. I also have a love of old pictures, postcards and Edwardian Actresses, in particular Miss Gabrielle Ray which I hope to share at regular intervals. As my collection has grown I have set up another blog which contains only pictures of Miss Ray. Gabrielle Ray Thank you for viewing and comments are welcome.
