A glass negative from the Bain News Service shows actress Viola Allen in costume for *The Daughter of Heaven*, a stage production associated with the Chinese-themed drama of the early 1910s. Allen was one of the leading American stage actresses of her era, known for romantic and classical roles. The Bain News Service, a New York photo agency, supplied press pictures of theater people, politicians and news events to newspapers and magazines. The record notes that the title comes from unverified agency data, so the production identification should be checked against theater records.
