  This Crowninshield looks to be en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Crowninshield "Francis Welch Crowninshield (June 24, 1872 – December 28, 1947), better known as Frank or Crownie (informal), was an American journalist and art and theatre critic best known for developing and editing the magazine Vanity Fair for 21 years, making it a pre-eminent literary journal."

  It is him, he matches his passport image. I created an entry for him:
  Melvin Johnson Woodworth (1880-1950)
  www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q125352434
  He took his own life in 1950 by hanging himself.

  Thanks swanq and Richard Norton, we'll update his catalog record.
