This is Jaqueline Snaith c. 1938. She was a professional ventriloquist. She was taught by her father and they traveled throughout the eastern half of the USA working vaudeville and all sorts of local events such as music shows, town celebrations, etc. I do not know the name of her dummy. Similarly as did many circus performers, Jacqueline carried lots of photos of herself that she sold to audience members to supplement her performance income. This photo is on a postcard that was never mailed. To see my other theater-related images, Search: Prestor vintage actor
