Broadway in the 1910s and early 1920s was the center of the revue and musical comedy trade, and the chorus line was one of its most visible attractions. The title, "Broadway whirl girls," points to dancers from those stage shows, though the record does not name a production or performer. The picture comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that sold news and feature pictures to newspapers and magazines. Its title is unverified, and the record carries no date, so the exact setting and year remain uncertain.
