Carmen at the Alhambra

12 cards issued by Raphael Tuck show the popular Carmen ballet at the Alhambra Theatre in London, 1903. Performers are Rosario Guerrero as Carmen, M. Volbert as José (I think his first name was Michel) and the famous and popular actress Edith Slack in travesti as Escamillo. (When the show came to the New York Roof theater in 1904, Escamillo was played by a male.)
