for some biographical details.

The writing at the top says something like: Gold bead gown. Emb'd in gold. Headband gold circled with pearls.

broadwayworld.com/bwidb/productions/Lombardi,_Ltd._316245/ indicates that she and Warner Baxter were both in the cast of Lombardi, Ltd.at the Morosco Theater (Broadway, New York, NY) which opened on September 24, 1917 and ran for 296 performances. hollywoodheyday.blogspot.com/2010/06/whos-who-this-week-i... indicates that they were married on the opening day of the show, i.e., in 1917. But the Wikipedia article for Baxter has them marrying in 1918. Another disagreement is over her place of birth. Whereas she is most often described as a Los Angeles native, www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=18815386 says she was born in Columbus, Ohio and headed to Los Angeles in 1915. Her obituary in the LA Times says she was born in Los Angeles. articles.latimes.com/1987-08-23/news/mn-3076_1_winifred-b...

Hello, Winifred Bryson was born in Los Angeles. She was my grandfather's cousin. The spelling of her name was Brison, changed to Bryson at some point. She and Warner raised her niece, Betty Bryson, who was born Elizabeth Meiklejohn. I wish I had more information for you!

The decision to tilt these folks within the vignette... now, where's that come from? Wonderful stuff.

I like this.

nice pic

Maybe it was the best photo of the shoot? Always check the wedding photographer's references first ...

I don't think that's a vignette - just a black background to show the shape of the button. You can see the light reflecting off the curved edges. But as you say, they would still be at a slight angle within the button, which is unusual!

Geraldine Farrar, the great opera singer en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geraldine_Farrar

Here is a little recording of her

Jamie Farrar ? from M*A*S*H ?

Ulterior Motive Vax - Just Say NO! mtlicq -- The M*A*S*H actor is Jamie Farr. No relation, different spelling and pronunciation.

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/antonia13/] Thank you for the music ♫ ♪ ! I enjoyed that, she was a great singer with a wonderful voice. Infrogmation of New Orleans I know. Pardon my sense of humour, I know its not Jamie Farr, its just that the name is close and Jamie Farr tried to look like this so he could get out of the Korean War safely. Beware, War sucks. Peace and goodwill to all.
