Charlotte Greenwood, the tall comedian known for her exaggerated high kicks on stage and screen, is the performer named in this glass negative's title, which also includes the name "Broones." The record gives no date, and the title comes from unverified notes made by the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency whose pictures make up the George Grantham Bain Collection. Bain's photographers worked in the early decades of the twentieth century, covering theater people, politicians and news events, so the plates show how performers were presented to newspapers in that era.
