Lee Shubert appears in this glass negative with G.B. McLellan, though the record gives only names taken from Bain News Service negatives and caption cards, so the identities and occasion are unverified. Shubert was one of the Shubert brothers, who built one of the largest theater empires in the United States and controlled many Broadway houses in the early twentieth century. The Bain News Service, which made the negative, supplied news photographs to newspapers, so portraits like this one show how theatrical and civic figures were presented to the public in that period.
