This appears to be one of several débutante announcement photographs of Margaret Resler Warren of New York City, who was introduced to society on December 9, 1913, with a reception, dinner and dance. A daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Elliott Warren, Margaret was a descendant of Revolutionary War General Warren of Bunker Hill. She was a graduate of The Spence School. Her father was President of the Lincoln National Bank. [1] [2]

A different photograph of Miss Warren, by Campbell Studios, appeared in the October 19, 1913, New York Times, however the accompanying article seems to have been, perhaps, cut of débutante announcements. A variant of the above pose, by Mishkin Studios, is in the Bain Collection (shown below) of The Library of Congress, and will no doubt find its way to Flickr ;)
                                   

On January 22, 1921, Margaret Warren married Shannon Lord Meany (b.1892), the son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward P. Meany (b.1854) of Alnwick Hall, Convent, New Jersey. He was a graduate of Princeton and served as a captain during the war. Their engagement was announced in October, 1920. [3] [4] [5] [6]

Margaret and Shannon Meany separated in 1939, and she was awarded a divorce in Reno in 1940. [7] [8]

Thanks for your research Pixel Wrangler. And thanks artolog, for putting the pieces together. We'll add a bit of the information about her to both records the next time we update.

Part of one of the most famous dance teams of her era. See

Sort of looks like Rudolf Valentino here

Margarethe Arndt-Ober (1885–1971) was an American opera singer of German descent who had an active international career during the first half of the twentieth century. A highly skilled contralto, Ober enjoyed a particularly long and fruitful association with the Berlin State Opera from 1907 to 1944. She also was notably a principal singer at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City between 1913 and 1917. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Ober

I love how strong and bold the woman looks in this photograph. She looks so graceful and poised. Her strength just really stands out.

Ortrud is a character from Lohengrin by Richard Wagner.

lisby1 and judgedeadd: Thank you for the additional details on Arndt-Ober and her career as on opera singer. We will expand the description when we update this record.
