Barry's Novelty Girls, a group named on the caption card, were photographed in Youngstown, Ohio, a steel and manufacturing city that had a busy circuit of theaters, dance halls, and touring entertainers in the 1920s. The card tags the picture under women and music, which fits the period's popularity of novelty acts that mixed singing, dancing, and comic routines for local audiences. The date, around February 18, 1924, comes from the caption card and is unverified, so it is best read as approximate. The image was registered for copyright by Wade Studios, a studio that produced and sold photographic prints of this kind.
