from 1911 Festival of Empire in London. The Crystal Palace is visible in the background and burned down in 1936.

You will find here another photo on the same subject matter: www.hood.de/auction/29186434/crystal-palace-festival-of-e... In fact, they both seem pretty plainly to be part of the one set of postcards. Here is yet a further postcard that "shows the model buildings erected for the Festival of Empire in the grounds south of the Palace, with the ornamental fountain in the centre.": www.ideal-homes.org.uk/lambeth/crystal-palace/festival-of...

The Crystal Palace was moved to Sydenham before it burned down. My mother who lived in Norwood could remember it burning down, she was 11 at the time. She saw the reflection of the flames in the windows of her home and thought that was on fire, but the flames were behind her on Sydenham Hill. you can still see the outline of the building here ... maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=Sydenham+Hill,...

ibdb.com/person.php?id=56039 shows that she was on Broadway from Sept 1916 to April 1917 in Little Miss Springtime.

A number of papers reported (obviously erroneously) in February, 1916 that she had been executed as a spy: "ACTRESS SHOT AS A SPY CLEVELAND, Feb. 15—Sari Petrass, Hungarian actress, has been executed as a spy. She was noted over the continent as a beauty. Hungarians of this city just received word that she was caught obtaining information from Austrian officers and sending it to England." chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn88085187/1916-02-15/ed-...
