A golf photograph in the Bain collection, this glass negative is catalogued under the name Patsy Ruth Miller, though the record notes that the identification comes from unverified caption data. Miller was a silent-film actress who became known in the 1920s, when studios and newspapers often showed stars at sports and leisure. The Bain News Service, run by George Grantham Bain in New York, supplied pictures like this to newspapers, so the image shows how the press presented celebrities to readers. The record gives no date, so the exact occasion remains uncertain.
