TRANSFORMATIONS: Things change, we go from childhood to become teenagers, and have to deal with the general mess that is puberty, we become adults and grow old and die... … that's not what this is about, this is about the more entertaining types of transformation found in film, comics, manga, cartoons, anime, novels and the human imagination.

Bothwell Bruhn
Noted turn of the last century Vaudeville female impersonator Walter Bothwell Bruhn, (March 7, 1877 to December 12, 1947 ) known on the stage as Bothwell Browne in four post cards of the era.
Two of the cards come from promotions for a 1911 play by the title Miss Jack, about a collage student forced to play at being a woman, with no doubt comic results. The production however was a flop, with critics of the time tearing it to shreds as being a sight that did not belong on Broadway.
In 1919 he also starred in two films Yankee Doodle in Berlin and Among Those Present.
