LOC: Note mistranscription to caption of name on negative. She was performing with the Metropolitan Opera in Boris Godunov in November, 1915. We have a lot of opera people in this batch. Seems like the photographer was hanging out at the stage door of the Met. archives.metoperafamily.org/archives/frame.htm

Misspelled. Ernestine Schumann-Heink, née Rössler, (15 June 1861 – 17 November 1936) was a celebrated Austrian, later American, operatic contralto, noted for the size, beauty, tonal richness, flexibility and wide range of her voice.

Thanks for locating the spelling error. We'll make that correction to the caption the next time we update the record.
