This Bain News Service glass negative shows George M. Cohan at an event listed in its record as a "Titanic Game," though the record gives no date and the title comes from unverified caption data, so the exact occasion is unclear. Cohan was among the best-known figures on the New York stage in the early twentieth century, writing and performing in musicals and comedies that defined Broadway. The Bain agency sold news photographs to newspapers across the country during these decades, so pictures like this one captured the public personalities of the day. The name "Titanic" would have carried strong associations after the ship sank in April 1912, which may help explain the picture's interest to a viewer today.
