The title "All Stars" is the only identifying detail in the record, and the Library of Congress notes that it comes from unverified data on the negative or its caption card, so the subject is uncertain. The title suggests a group of celebrated performers, athletes, or public figures gathered together for a photograph, a common kind of picture for newspapers and magazines of the period. The image is a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection. Bain News Service was a New York picture agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and its glass plates are a useful record of that era's news and celebrity photography. Because no date is recorded, the exact year is unknown.
