    I'm guessing that's May Esther Peterson Thompson (1880-1952), American opera singer. www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/TT/fth48.html www.cemetery.state.tx.us/pub/user_form.asp?pers_id=2314
  • Ryan (LOC P&P) said:
    I think that you're right, pennylrichardsca. Thanks for your great links. One of them includes a photograph in which she's wearing the same incredible costume as Delibes in the opera "Lakme." We'll add a note with this information next time we update the record. Good work!

    what is that device?
  • Seuss. said:
    LadyLazerJ Would you believe it's the remote volume control?

    For more about May Peterson see comments under
    For the companion photo (and more about the Aeolian-Vocalion see comments under
    For more about the "Graduola" model of the Aeolian Vocalion see comments under

    And is there still anything to add? Yes. The Aeolian Company did not just record May Peterson for their record label, they used her photograph in advertisements at least as early as 1919. see this page from the Saturday Evening Post. Might even be the same dress.
