At the Orpheum

January 3, 1919, Menasha Record
The original theater in Menasha, nine years before the Brin was built.  Sidebar: Many of us already know of Fatty Arbuckle's career that was derailed by scandal in the 1920's.  In this picture, his leading lady also had a hard time of it, developing a drug habit that also caused her career to falter.  She died young at 33, from pneumonia in 1931.  On the other hand, Madame Petrova, left show business soon after this picture was made and lived until the age of 93.
