Billie Burke is best known today as Glinda, the Good Witch of the South in "The Wizard of Oz", but in her younger days at the turn of the last century, she was one of the biggest stars of the English stage. For the Love of Opera Gloves presents a selection of vintage images of young Billie in the opera gloves that no Edwardian lady would dream of going without!
