Description

This image is a composite of four images of the actress Teresa Kirbe. In the top left image, she is dressed as a Spanish nobleman. In the top right she is dressed as a Spanish woman, wearing a mantilla. In the bottom right, she is dressed in contemporary style with drop earrings. In the bottom left she is dressed in a historical costume, wearing a crown. This bottom left image is perhaps related to the February 25, 1957 articles in the Los Angeles Examiner, the Los Angeles Herald and Express, and the San Diego Tribune, all of which mention her role in the opera "The Rose and the Ring", in which she played the Queen of Paflagonia.
