This color print presents Mamie Elmore in the role of Sullivan in *The Boy from Boston*, a production by the Crane Players, a company whose name appears in the title as the troupe behind the show. Portraits of performers in named character roles were a common form of theatrical image in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when playbills, trade cards and posters helped audiences recognize stars and promote touring companies. Its place in the Boston section suggests a connection to the city's theater scene, where traveling and local companies performed for dense audiences. Look closely at the costume and pose, which show how a actress was presented to the public as a character.
