Vintage Pinback
"Lulu Glaser"
Reverse: "Sweet Caporal Cigarettes."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sweet Caporal Cigarettes advertised their product with a series of buttons. This one attached the professional image and "star quality" of theater's Lulu Glaser (1874-1958.) They were probably inside the package.
Lulu got her big break in 1891 when she was the understudy to a prominent actress, who fell ill, in "The Lion Tamer." She was noticed and for the next 20 years was a famous actress and singer. In later years she appeared on the vaudeville circuit.
This pinback depicts her in Western-style clothes.
