Autograph request
Picture postcard sent to Bray by Jenny Howard on 15th August 1935 in response to a request for her autograph.
Jenny Howard née Daisy Blowes (1902-1996), stage performer, made her name in her native England as ‘the poor man’s Gracie Fields’, recording covers of Fields’s songs for a cut-price label and impersonating the star onstage. She came to Australia with her husband, actor and producer Percy King, in 1929. They performed together on the Tivoli circuit before returning to England where she made the film Dodging the Dole (1936).
