en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloria_Swanson "Gloria May Josephine Swanson (March 27, 1899 – April 4, 1983) was an American actress and producer best known for her role as Norma Desmond, a reclusive silent film star, in the critically acclaimed 1950 film Sunset Boulevard. Swanson was also a star in the silent film era as both an actress and a fashion icon, especially under the direction of Cecil B. DeMille. Throughout the 1920s, Swanson was Hollywood's top box office magnet."

Gloria May Josephine Swanson (March 27, 1899 – April 4, 1983) was an American actress and producer. She first achieved fame acting in dozens of silent films in the 1920s and was nominated three times for the Academy Award for Best Actress, most famously for her 1950 return in Billy Wilder's Sunset Boulevard, which also earned her a Golden Globe Award.

husband is Henry de La Falaise, Marquis de La Coudraye (born James Henri Le Bailly de la Falaise, February 11, 1898 – April 10, 1972), was a French nobleman, translator, film director, film producer, sometime actor, and war hero who was best known for his high-profile marriages to two leading Hollywood actresses.

According to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_de_La_Falaise His first wife was "Gloria Swanson (1899–1983), American movie actress. They married in Paris, France, on January 28, 1925, after meeting on the set of the Swanson film Madame Sans-Gêne, on which La Falaise was working as a translator." So this photo was taken after January 28, 1925, probably in their arrival in New York. She was ill while in Paris, and their return was not until late March 1925. According to the New York Times, March 25, 1925, timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1925/03/25/98819674... the couple arrived on the French liner "Paris" the day before.

Gloria seemed fully recovered from illness in Paris.
