I was trying to see what film was playing and could just make out "Irish Rose" but the wonderful Wikipedia gave me the answer below! This is a really wonderful shot with a wealth of detail to savour! The cars, the fashions, the shops and the queue waiting to see the (we call them films) movie! Abie's Irish Rose is a 1928 early talking (part-talkie) film directed by Victor Fleming, based on the play Abie's Irish Rose by Anne Nichols. Plot A Jewish boy, Abie Levy (Rogers), falls in love with and secretly marries Rosemary Murphy (Carroll), an Irish Catholic girl, but lies to his family, saying that she's Jewish. The fathers of both bride and groom are at first religiously bigoted toward the other but with the birth of twin grandchildren, their antagonism fades.

Thanks for the extra information!

Looks to me like a posed piece, in which she is "dressed as a fancy maid". Cooking on a fairly new (?) gas stove, I think. Her careful cosmetics are inconsistent with a true maid's role. Go to Wikipedia first! She was an actress. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olive_Thomas Her career was a short one, apparently, until she died of poisoning, a supposed accident and major scandal.

Isn't she stunning !!!

That's a good clinch she has him in! can't tell you how Hanna came by them but Richard Dix was nominated for an Oscar for his role. Richard Dix was an American motion picture actor who achieved popularity in both silent and sound film. His standard on-screen image was that of the rugged and stalwart hero. He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor for his lead role in the Best Picture-winning epic, Cimarron. Wikipedia

Sometimes Flickr is amazing! Poster via 小眾電影 Theatre in San Francisco via Al Barna and Randall Homan I wonder if Richard Dix was known as Dick Dix?!

beachcomber australia Makes a change to see a shirt-ripper rather than bodice-ripper poster. And you must do more research into his name for us...
