Lillie, Beatrice (1894-1989). Actress and singer, Lillie became the "toast of two continents" as a comedienne of revues and plays in both England and America.
Collection of thirty checks signed by Beatrice Lillie Peel. Lillie signs each check, "Beatrice (Lillie) Peel". Each partially printed, accomplished in manuscript. Dating from February 12, 1932 through October 27, 1967 drawn on Peel's accounts at the Corn Exchange Bank Trust Company, Empire Trust Company, and Barclays Bank Limited in England. Most stamp cancelled verso, Empire Trust Company checks are stamp cancelled recto. Several checks creased from handling with a few tears. Overall, the group is in very good condition.
Interestingly, Mrs. Peel had a tendency to write checks for even dollar amounts -- only six of these checks is written for an amount with change. And it appears that February 12, 1932 was a payday as Lillie wrote checks totalling nearly four hundred dollars, each payable to an individual.
Estimated Value $200 - 300.
