HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MAXINE ELLIOTT, ONE OF THE GREAT STARS BORN IN THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY!

Born February 6, 1868, Maxine Elliott was not only a great star but also a theatre manager for whom a theatre was named. She had the exotic look with her luminous black hair, dark eyes and ivory skin. She was independent and courageous. She was decorated by the King of Belgium for transporting food and supplies by barge to an unoccupied section of the Belgian Territory between Feb. 1915-May 1916.

Those supplies and food served 350,000 people!
