Three women are named on this glass negative: Frances Starr, Gladys Hanson, and Chrystal Hearn. Starr was a Broadway actress in the 1910s and 1920s who later made silent films, which points toward a theatrical or publicity sitting, though the record does not confirm it. The negative comes from the Bain News Service, a New York agency founded by George Grantham Bain in 1901 that supplied newspapers with photographs of people and events. The date is not recorded, and the names come from caption cards that have not been verified.
