Kitty Baldwin was the
second wife and stage partner of Samri
Baldwin. She performed under various stage names, including
Kitty Baldwin and Kate Russell "The Clairvoyant
Queen".
When she divorced her
husband in 1906, she attempted to continue her career with a
one-person mentalist act, but was ultimately not successful. In
1908, she was appearing as "The Famous Rosicrucian
Somnambulist" (capitalizing on her previous affiliation with
the famous Baldwin act) and as "Mrs. Baldwin Slade"
(perhaps trying to fake a connection with the popular Dr.
Henry Slade, one of the most famous spirit mediums of the day).
She tried in vain to contract Karl
Germain as a partner in another two-person mindreading act, then
performed for another year or so before fading from public view.
She and Samri had a
daughter, Shadow, who had a brief career as a professional psychic
in the early 1920s.
