David Barker sent in this beauty from the collection of John Walburton. The elderly ex-teenagers immediately will recognise as film diva Chrissie White. The photo was taken probably around 1920, her car being an A.C. of course. David writes: "It is quite amazing what comes up when you put "Chrissie White" into Google; For a start she was called Chrissie White and her 'beau', whom she married was Henry Edwards. The photographer was Cecil Hepworth, one of the most important makers of early silent films. Chrissie was born Ada White on 23rd May 1895 and died in Hollywood in August 1989! (....the year Restoration Stuff started) Henry Edwards was actually Arthur Harold Ethelbert Edwards (b.18.9.1883-d.1952) Chrissie married him in 1922. She featured in over 100 films and was one of Britain's first film stars and the principal actress in the Hepworth Picture players at Walton Studios."
Anybody who can tell more about the relation she had with A.C.? Is it a publicity photo for A.C. ? Can you exactly date this A.C.? Compare with David Barker's own 1925 specimen
