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...

Seems unlikely this could have been taken 1910-1915--Norma Shearer was born in 1902: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norma_Shearer

pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) I thought the same thing. Her outfit is definitely "Roaring 20's".

This Bain Collection / LOC photograph appears in five non-English versions of Wikipedia. Those versions list the date as 1927, and reference the date on the negative "in reverse, upper left corner".

It very likely could be "August, 1927" [ 8 / 19.27 ]. I have posted an inverted (reversed) version of this photo, below, such that others can have a look for themselves to try to determine the date.

I also tried to read the writing on the negative, along the right-hand side of the negative (also in reverse). I'm not sure if the word, "sport" is accurate — perhaps another viewer will have a better read on it. (This can be read on the same "inverted" version below.)
"Red + white sport White hat + pumps Hanging white pearl"

Maybe "sport" = "skirt"? Would fit the context.
