Art Siegel: We will also update this description with the additional info.

Norwegian tennis player Anna Margarethe "Molla" Bjurstedt Mallory (1884-1959): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molla_Mallory Apparently she's "the only woman other than Chris Evert to have won the U.S. Championships four consecutive times."

In New York in March, 1915 to play in the Women's National Indoor Tennis Tournament at the Seventh Regiment Armory (Park Avenue Armory), where this photo was probably taken. She won that year, the first of 8 such titles she would eventually win. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F00A10FE3E5A15738... Something interesting about the brooch she is wearing in this photo, from her book "Tennis For Women" (1916): "I suppose that I am very silly about tournament play I am so superstitious. I make a wish when- ever I see two white horses. I had great luck on the night before the finals of the National Champion- ships at Philadelphia. I was talking with Mrs. Wightman, whom I was to play, when I saw a falling star. There is nothing so lucky as wishing on a fall- ing star. I made my wish, "I want to win the National." And I did. Then, I have a Japanese brooch which I always wear when I play; it is so ugly that I cannot wear it at any other time. I am afraid to play without it.

pennylrichardsca and artolog: Thank you for the information! I especially enjoy the story of her lucky 'ugly' brooch - and seeing it on her in the photo. Very nice detail! We will add more to the record when updating.

Watervliet is the location of a US Army arsenal in New York. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watervliet_Arsenal

There's a very cool photo of a Watervliet 16-inch gun in The Library of Congress' "1930s-40s in Color" Set on Flickr (along with some informed comments!)
