Jennie Elmore is shown in costume as Claribel, a character in *The Boy from Boston*, posed in the manner of a stage portrait. Portraits of actresses in their roles were a popular keepsake in this period, and theatergoers bought them to remember a favorite performer. The title credits the Crane Players, the company behind this production. The color work was meant to bring out the costume's fabrics and the stage look, so the details of the dress are worth a close look, since costume was one of the main ways a performer signaled a character to the audience.
