BEND TO AND FRO (This postcard has three different Ford Sterling expressions. By moving the tab on the right, it moves the lines on the screen slightly, revealing a different expression.  Although not postmarked, Ford Sterling only worked at Universal for a few months in 1914, so the card is probably from that year.) Dear Mary, I am so sorry you are sick but hope you are getting better now and will soon be well. I was in a dialogue at an entertainment last night also sang and helped with a duet. It rained so hard there was not a very big crowd. It is raining this morning. I hope you will have lots of fun with this picture! He makes so many funny faces. Love to you from Aunt Ella Mary Phillips (This postcard was never stamped or postmarked. Since it has a message on the back, I suspect that it was sent in an envelope, possibly to protect the front of the postcard.) Here's how the postcard works.  There are three different images of Ford Sterling making faces.  Each one is separated into different lines that repeat the same photo every third line.  The front "window" determines which expression we will see.
