The name on this glass negative belongs to George Loane Tucker, an American film director who worked during the early years of silent cinema. Bain News Service, the New York photo agency whose negatives make up this collection, supplied newspapers with portraits of public figures and entertainers, often on short notice. Tucker is best remembered for *Traffic in Souls* (1913), a crime melodrama that drew large audiences, and for *The Miracle Man* (1919). The record gives no date and the identification comes from the agency's caption, so the sitting cannot be placed precisely, but it connects the image to the growth of the film industry in those years.
