    Laura Hope Crews (1879-1942)--film buffs may recognize the name because she later played "Aunt Pittipat" in Gone with the Wind: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_Hope_Crews John Drew Jr. (1853-1927)--great-great uncle of Drew Barrymore (his sister married a Barrymore): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Drew_Jr.

    Much Ado opened with Drew and Crews around Labor Day 1913. See NYT of August 31, 1913 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9F03E2DC123FE633A...
  • Wystan said:
    Crews was Beatrice, Drew played Benedick. This production opened at New York's Empire Theatre on September 1, and ran for a mere 24 performances, closing the same month. The actor John D. Barrymore was named for John Drew.

    Titania is a character in Midsummer Night's Dream.
  • pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:
    From a performance or pageant at Overbrook School for the Blind--presumably Titania is one of the Overbrook students.

    Here is another photo from the Midsummer Night's Dream production from The Commons, with "Titania" at center:
    Fairy Scene from A Midsummer Night's Dream, Overbrook School for the Blind
    A June 6, 1914 magazine used the Bain photo with this caption:
    A BLIND TITANIA QUEEN OF THE FAIRIES
    A Midsummer Night's Dream was given this year in the dramatic work of the Pennsylvania Institution for the Instruction of the Blind at Overbrook. The institution's report holds that the drama not only makes the institution known but clears up the old impression that it is a "blind asylum", while in realiity it is "a boarding school for boys and girls who happen to be blind." Most important of all it gives self confidence to blind pupils, helps them to get around, and oflen completely transforms those who are slow to hear and to observe.
