Looks like a double-barrelled surname, if that's any help.

Probably a not-so-famous silent-screen or early talkies actress of which there were many - captured upon publicity postcards

I would suggest you start your research (if no further info forthcoming here) with the publisher of the card. I can't make it out from your image (bottom right). There may well be a web-site devoted to identifying or listing these cards - there's at least one very good site for "Verlag Ross", e.g.

Hope that helps a wee bit.

Thanks so very much!

I did see the hyphen - which does help some.

Thanks for the ideas as well.

One of the most popular sopranos in the 20th century - a la - Tamino Autographs in NYC!

Just wanted to say ... solved and thanks!
