Sadler Teapot #112 - Rose Cottage from around 2000.

I had sworn I would never buy any of the “buildings” or other series. But when I saw the details on this cute little “Rose Cottage” from the “Country Cottages” trio - I had to buy it because of all the animals on it! It became my 112th Sadler. The other two in the trio are Ivy House and Wysteria Lodge. I love the drawings of Sven Nordqvist in “Peddersen and Findus” because of all the quirky details and animals - this reminded me just a little bit…
The black lithograph is from after 2000 - so this is a Sadler made by Churchill China, that bought the name.

Echoes of the Northland

Looking every bit like a scene along US 10 in western Minnesota, or US 52 in eastern North Dakoka, I went out this morning to photograph the Southwest Chief as it rolled into Topeka.

This scene in reality is along US 75 in Pauline, KS on Topeka's south side, and the two beautiful Northern Pacific dome cars are owned and operated by Webb Rail. The 313 and 549 were both built by Budd in 1954 for the North Coast Limited, and served stints on the BN and Amtrak before being sold into private hands.

Lily Brayton in Kismet

Kismet was a three-act play written in 1911 by Edward Knoblauch/ Knoblock. It was produced by Oscar Asche and first staged at the Garrick Theatre, London, on 19 April 1911. Asche rewrote the play and starred himself as the beggar Haji, who poses as a prince. He drowns the evil Wazir of Police, catches the eye of the Wazir's voluptuous wife, serves as Emir of Baghdad, and sees his daughter wed to the handsome Caliph, who has posed as a gardener. Next to Asche, Lily Brayton starred as his daughter Marsinah. The play was a gigantic success.

After a successful tour with Kismet in Australia in 1911–12, Asche, upon his return to London, revived Kismet. Asche and Brayton also appeared in a 1914 film adaptation. Afterward, more film adaptations followed in 1920, 1930 and 1944. Asche repeated his role as Haji in the 1930 and 1944 film versions. In 1953, the story was adapted into the musical by Robert Wright and George Forrest, which in turn was adapted into a 1955 film.

Elizabeth "Lily" Brayton (23 June 1876 – 30 April 1953) was an English actress and singer, known for her performances in Shakespeare plays and for her nearly 2,000 performances in the First World War hit musical 'Chu Chin Chow'. From the 1900s, Lily Brayton was the wife and regular co-actor of British actor Oscar Asche. In 1914 she acted opposite Asche in her only film, Kismet, directed by Leedham Bantock.
