The only identifying detail in this record is its title, "Macbeth," which the Library of Congress notes is unverified and came from the Bain News Service negatives or caption cards. It most likely refers to Shakespeare's tragedy, a play that companies staged often in the early twentieth century, but the record does not confirm a production, performer, or date. George Grantham Bain's New York agency sold news and feature photographs to newspapers and magazines, and its glass negatives, typically 5 by 7 inches or smaller, were the standard working format of that period. Such plates show how press photographers recorded stage and public life before film became common.
