Thanks so much for this link swanq. We'll add some of the information about the operetta to each of the records the next time we update.

My mistake. The note has already been added.

See

"The American Woman’s Association was the final product of an amalgamation and mutation of various clubs and societies that supported and championed the advancement and efforts of women in both professional and cultural spheres. Throughout its 63 years of existence, the AWA provided safe lodgings, social outlets, and increased financial stability for independent women."

I had wondered if the musicians could have been members of the Lopez Orchestra, but the date on the negative is when that band was in England. See comments for neighboring photo in Bain stream with Vincent Lopez:
