The record names two people, Ray Goetz and a Mr. or Ms. Meller, but gives no date, caption, or setting, so the exact occasion is unknown. Goetz is best known as a New York theatrical producer and songwriter, and the second name suggests a pairing of a performer with a partner or collaborator. The negative is one of the glass plates made by the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency that sold news and celebrity photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. Those plates were often captioned loosely from information the photographers collected on the spot, so the title is worth reading as a starting point rather than a settled identification.
