"Justine Johnstone (January 31, 1895 – September 4, 1982) was an American stage and silent screen actress, pathologist and expert on syphilis. Working under her married name, Justine Wanger, she was part of the team that developed the modern intravenous drip technique." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justine_Johnstone S. also www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/17124715317/

Another photo of her, taken apparently at the same location and in the same outfit, appeared in Evening star. [volume], May 15, 1921, Image 85 with the caption: "Justine Johnston, a star of the movies, waves farewell to America from the deck of the Aquitania. She will study photoplay producing in European cities." chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045462/1921-05-15/ed-...

That would make the little girl Princess Priscilla Helen Alexandra Bibesco (1920-2004), about whom Marcel Proust wrote "It is in this little girl that all that we know now continues"
