Vera Kholodnaya and Vladimir Maksimov. Russian postcard, no. 144. Collection: Didier Hanson.
Vera Kholodnaya(1893-1919) was the first star of the Russian silent cinema. Only 26, the ‘Queen of Screen’ died of the Spanish flu during the pandemic of 1919. Although she worked only three years for the cinema, she must have made between fifty and hundred short films. The Soviet authorities ordered to destroy many of the Kholodnaya features in 1924, and only five of her films still exist.
Russian actor Vladimir Maksimov (1880-1937) was known for Skorb beskonechnaya/Infinite Sorrow (Aleksandr Panteleyev, 1922), Katsi katsistvis mgelia/Man Is Enemy (Ivane Perestiani, 1923) and Dekabristy/The Decembrists (Aleksandr Ivanovsky, 1927). He died in 1937 in Moscow, Soviet Union.

German postcard by Ross Verlag, no. 1682/1. Collection: Didier Hanson. Conrad Veidt preparing for his first trip to the United States and poking fun at the American sport spirit. In 1926 Veidt went to Hollywood to act in films like The Beloved Rogue (1927) and The Man Who Laughs (1928). The woman is probably his then wife Felicitas Radke. They were married from 1923 till 1932.
