Here the soprano Maria Jeritza appears alongside a Captain A.E.S. Hambelton, though the record flags that pairing as unverified. Jeritza, born in Brno in Moravia, became one of the most celebrated singers at the Metropolitan Opera in New York during the 1920s and drew heavy press attention. The Bain News Service, a New York picture agency active from about 1899 to 1932, sold images like this one to newspapers for quick reproduction, so the photograph reflects the fast, public-facing celebrity portraiture of its era.
