Operetta

My Mom's maternal aunt, Dora, played the piano as an accompanist for silent movies. Dora also came to know many theater people.

Dora died in 1992, about one year after Lithuania regained its independence. After independence, families again could send letters and photos freely. A friend mailed many of Dora's snapshots to my Mom. Among them was this photo of the cast of a comic operetta.
