    Possibly July 4, 1916. NYT of July 5, 1916

    described celebrations that involved, children, patriotism and a wish for peace.

    Marcus M. Marks is mentioned as Borough President (of Manhattan, I assume) and he is the man with the bow-tie. See

    I hope she held on to the flags . . . 10 years later Sunshine Jarmon appeared on Broadway in Americana (www.newspapers.com/image/#57556765). By 1931, however, she had "married a wealthy Britisher".
  • Art Siegel said:
    Here's a drawing of her in "Americana" (1926). Most references to her seem to be as Sunshine Jarmann, with some as Sunshine Jarman and Jarrman as well. fultonhistory.com/Newspaper%2018/New%20York%20NY%20Sun/Ne... ibdb.com/person.php?id=46869 ibdb.com/person.php?id=478058
  • The Library of Congress said:
    It's gratifying to see how well the references you each found add up. The Broadway sources mention Sunshine's 1915 appearance in the chorus of Hands Up--perhaps accounting for her flare, while other children look more serious (or dubious?), ibdb.com/production.php?id=7046. The word "peace" on Sunshine's banner fits well with the NYT coverage of the '1916 July 4th celebration as a flag-focused, city-wide, sane and safe (no fireworks) extravaganza. More from that article, which continues the Broadway theater connection: “... One of the children’s celebrations was in Times Square, where some 500 little ones listened to a patriotic address from Borough President Marcus M. Marks of Manhattan. After the exercises, the children were taken to the Globe Theatre, where a special performance was given for their benefit. Refreshments for the children were supplied by a number of firms in the vicinity and in response to a request from the committee having the arrangements in charge all the buildings in and adjoining Times Square were flag decked. The celebration was held under the auspices of the Broadway Association.”
