Actress Priscilla Dean poses with a tennis racket, a prop that suggests a sporting or leisure portrait of the kind studios and news agencies made in the 1910s and early 1920s. Dean was a silent film performer known for dramatic roles, including the 1920 Universal production *Outside the Law*. Bain News Service, the New York agency whose glass negatives make up this collection, supplied photographs of stars and public figures to newspapers, so pictures like this were made to be reproduced quickly. The record gives no date, and the identification rests on caption data from the Bain files that has not been independently verified.
