In this 1910 glass negative, people identified as De Rigny and Tety Langy hold dogs alongside D'Alveres and his brother, and Oscar and Stella Hammerstein. Oscar Hammerstein was a New York theater impresario whose opera house and vaudeville ventures kept him in the city's newspapers during these years. The Bain News Service, run by George Grantham Bain, supplied photographs to newspapers, so images like this one reached readers quickly as news. The names come from caption information the agency recorded and that was not always verified, so the identifications are best read as the photographer's own notes.
