No names changed to protect the innocent.

This photo used in The Sunday Oregonian. (Portland, Ore.) December 31, 1916 with the caption:" Alma Gluck, the concert soprano, and her husband and baby are shown in a new picture group. Madame Gluck is at present planning for another concert tour. Her husband Is Zimbalist, the violin virtuoso. " oregonnews.uoregon.edu/lccn/sn83045782/1916-12-31/ed-1/se...

Thanks Art for locating the newspaper article. We'll add their full names, including Maria's, to the catalog record.

The older child, kneeling, is Maria. In the crib is Efrem Zimbalist, Jr.

With daughter Maria , see:

Possibly taken on Fishers Island, at eastern end of Long Island Sound. According to fishersisland.net/hlf-museum-files-g-b-linderman-mansion/ Zimbalist and Gluck rented the G.B.Linderman house in 1917 for the summer and bought the house in February 1918.

Thanks to all of you for connecting these photographs. We'll add some of the information to the record the next time we update.

If I'm correctly seeing the silhouette of a mountain range in background, this photo was definitely not taken on Fishers Island. Just as importantly, the porch does not match the one at the former G.B. Linderman house. Pierce Rafferty, director, Henry L. Ferguson Museum, Fishers Island, NY
