This glass negative is catalogued under the name Hilda Spong, an English-born stage actress who worked on both the London and New York stages in the early twentieth century. The record gives no date, and the title comes from data supplied by the Bain News Service that has not been independently verified, so the identification should be read with that caveat. The Bain News Service was a New York photo agency that sold pictures of celebrities, politicians and news events to newspapers, and its glass negatives document how stage performers were presented to the public in that period.
