  This might be the Scotti Grand Opera Co. which toured the U.S. in 1920. See books.google.com/books?id=YjAjUeK27SMC, a brochure with lots of portraits. I think I see Willfred Pelletier fifth from right in front row.

  New-York Tribune., September 05, 1920, Page 5, Image 31, 2nd col from right. chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1920-09-05/ed-... indicates that they would leave for South Bend, Indiana on Sunday September 12th. www.loc.gov/pictures/resource/det.4a23718/ shows the Penn Station Concourse with floor, structures, and doors like the ones the opera company is in front of.

Passengers line up in New York City's Grand Central Station to buy tickets for Amtrak passenger trains, 04/1974.

  This is actually the concourse/rotunda in New York Pennsylvania Station (post-Madison Square Garden construction).

• The U.S. National Archives said:

  Thanks, TVL1970! You are correct. This is Penn Station, not Grand Central Terminal. We will work to update our descriptive data on this image. Jerry (U.S. National Archives)

  Gaaaaaah. This is gorgeous. Why on earth did they tear this down?

• jon-christian suggs said:

  See the same interior in Stanley Kubrick's 1955 film, "Killer's Kiss." It is starkly beautiful.

  Was called "progress"...

  Breathtaking. Absolutely breathtaking.

  I wish Penn Station still looked like this.
