EDITORS COMMENTS
Cupid's Smallest Victim: Mlle Anita, a Twenty-Five Year Old Actress from Hungary, Stands Gracefully on Stage in a Velvet Gown, Measuring Only Twenty-Five Inches in Height (1910). Mlle Anita, a remarkable woman hailing from Hungary, graced the stages of the early 20th century theatrical scene with her captivating presence. At the tender age of twenty-five, she stood before audiences not only as a mature and experienced actress but also as a unique and intriguing figure, measuring a petite twenty-five inches in height. During her visit to this country, Mlle Anita made headlines as she prepared for her new life. She was engaged to be married and was in the process of purchasing her trousseau. The Savoy Hotel welcomed her as a distinguished guest, providing her with a warm and accommodating stay. As she posed for this theatrical portrait on stage, Mlle Anita exuded an air of elegance and grace in her velvet gown. The rich fabric draped beautifully over her petite frame, highlighting her unique stature and captivating presence. The image, captioned as "Cupid's Smallest Victim," encapsulates the enchanting allure of this extraordinary actress, who defied the norms of her time and captured the hearts of many. This photograph, taken in 1910, offers a glimpse into the world of Mlle Anita, a woman who, despite her small stature, left an indelible mark on the theatrical scene of the early 20th century.
