Actress. She starred in a British silent movie of 1917. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daddy_(1917_film). See www.imdb.com/name/nm0476007/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm Richmond times-dispatch., October 01, 1916, Image 45 chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045389/1916-10-01/ed-... has a piece about her with headline, "Beauty Who Likes Only Ugly Men."

uk.pinterest.com/pin/228979962283720890/ is a signed, colored, reversed version of the same picture. And fanpix.famousfix.com/gallery/peggy-kurton/p10607238 was clearly taken at the same session. www.illustratedfirstworldwar.com/item/in-wurzel-flummery-... has one of these used as the cover of a 1917 magazine. The show mentioned as if the character came from it opened in London in 1917. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wurzel-Flummery for the show (which was by A.A. Milne). This seems like evidence for a 1917 date for the original photo.

Looking at the photos linked by swanq, the photographer of this Bain collection photograph of Peggy Kurton was Lallie Charles (née Charlotte Elizabeth Martin) (1869-1919). "Inspired by the success of Alice Hughes, Charlotte ('Lallie') Charles opened her first photographic studio in 1896, at The Nook in Regent's Park, London. Lallie and her sister Rita became the most commercially successful women portraitists of the first decade of the 1900s." [1]

Very similar photo published in Evening Star [Washington DC], June 27, 1922, Image 17, 2nd photo down at left chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045462/1922-06-27/ed-... They were "Stage beauties sailing for Europe ... all more or less prominent in recent Broadway successes." www.ibdb.com/broadway-cast-staff/virginia-roche-423043 www.ibdb.com/broadway-cast-staff/laura-lyle-468719

Thank you swanq for finding the same photograph in the Evening Star. We can now add a better date to the description.

According to IMDB, "Laura Lyle is an actress, known for Husks of Love (1916)."

Marguerite Virginia Roach (1895-?) was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q99384738 I found her passport application describing her career and her stage name as "Virginia Roche".
