Four women in costume are named in the caption as Ruth Deming, Helen Watson, Dorothy Thurston and Kathleen Dunn, though the record notes that these titles come from unverified caption cards. The glass negative comes from the Bain News Service, a New York agency founded by George Grantham Bain in the early 1900s to supply news photographs to newspapers. Agency pictures like this often documented stage productions, pageants and society events, so the costumes may point to a performance or staged occasion, though the record does not say which. The clothing and styling are the best clues for dating the picture.
