Hazel Dawn, the stage actress, is the figure here, posed in connection with *The Pink Lady*, the musical that opened on Broadway in 1911 and became a popular hit of the era. Bain News Service, the New York photo agency whose founder George Grantham Bain built the collection, made many portraits of performers for newspapers and magazines in those years. The record's title comes from the agency's own caption data, which has not been independently verified, so the exact production and occasion remain uncertain. The glass negative format offers a sharp, detailed view of stage-era studio portraiture.
