<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 144667, member: 55&quot;]Just as a historical note, the &quot;Topsy and Eva&quot; reference is to a 1927 movie, featuring the Duncan sisters, Rosetta and Vivian, based on their vaudeville act of the 1920s.&nbsp; With Rosetta in blackface they performed an act loosely based on the characters from &quot;Uncle Tom&#039;s Cabin.&quot;</p><p>The 1940s patterns based on the characters could probably be customized to suit the maker, and I can&#039;t tell if these were intended to be a cat, wolf, or what.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; One of them does have a distinct Red Riding Hood appearance, so wolf might be a good guess.</p><p><u>See</u> <a href="http://utc.iath.virginia.edu/onstage/duncanhp.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://utc.iath.virginia.edu/onstage/duncanhp.html" rel="nofollow">http://utc.iath.virginia.edu/onstage/duncanhp.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]38686[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>(from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topsy_and_Eva" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topsy_and_Eva" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topsy_and_Eva</a></p><p>original copyright United Artists)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
