Love Couple Vintage old postcard by E. Wedel chocolate manufacturer

This card was most probably issued as a part of advertising or promotional campaign by Polish producer of chocolate, bonbons and sweets before 1939. The card is clear on the back and the word "Paryskie" is a brand of chocolates sold in Poland. Nice picture of the couple is pleasing to the eye. Now, that I have done awawy with almost all of these cards (these=beauties, girls in fluffy furs wearing big hats, lovely couples etc), this litte one presents itself as a perfect add to my monothematic collection.

Henny Porten - Idol of Marlene Dietrich Vintage Postcards actress German

Who heard of Henny Porten ? and it was not long time ago when reading Dietrich's Biography by Maria Riva, that I come across this name.
There are many names in books but this was special because Marlene seemed to have felt some unusual affinity with this woman; Marlene was
kind of fan of Henny or even more - one could call it "love" or "craze" . Marlene watched movies starring Henny and was deeply under her charm (or even madly in love or crazy about her ;), keeping
her photos just like I keep Marlene's today. I must be totally ignorant in the matters of silent movies because I had never heard this name untill
reading Dietrich's biography; or probably I could be, excused, could I ? To make up for my ignorance as well as out of curiosity, see what kind of
Idol my Idol had, I purchased these several postcards. Postcards were all (most probably all) published in Germany and show
this once famous art deco lady in typical theatrical poses. I do not suppose to ever become a fan of Henny; It is just another way to buy a piece of Marlene's world.
I like the postcards, nevertheless.
