Maude Adams in Celebrities magazine

Apparently there was a magazine somewhat like today's People magazine, but published in the 1890's, called Celebrities. It was very expensive for its time at 35 cents a copy (most magazines were 10 cents an issue).

The publisher, Benjamin Joseph Falk, was the cause of this cost problem since he insisted that illustrations be actual photographs pasted to each page rather than reproductions of the same photographs. He was a professional photographer selling as many as 100,000 professional portraits a year. The magazine he started, though, only lasted two years before closing.

From the photograph above it is obvious that one of the issues had material on Maude Adams; but notice the misspelling, listing her name as Maud Adams without the "e" in Maude.

This is from American Heritage magazine, the February/March 1982 issue.
