The title calls its subject a new California tennis marvel, which points to a rising player in Los Angeles rather than a famous match or venue. The print is credited to Underwood and Underwood, a photography firm best known for its stereoscope views, and the record dates it only to between 1930 and 1960. Because the record names no player, the picture is best read as a glimpse of how the press promoted young athletes and how tennis was publicized in Southern California during those decades.
