Constance Binney, the stage and screen actress named in this record, is the subject of a glass negative from the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency that sold news photographs to newspapers and magazines in the early twentieth century. The title comes from caption data the agency recorded, which the Library of Congress lists as unverified, so the identification rests on those notes rather than a confirmed date. Binney worked in the theater and then in silent films during the 1910s and 1920s, when studio publicity portraits like this one helped build an actress's public image. Because the negative is glass and no date is recorded, its exact occasion is unknown, but it reflects the publicity photography of that era.
