Miss Ruth McDonald was listed as a contestant in the automobile fashion show identified by Art Siegel above. "An automobile fashion show was staged yesterday afternoon [June 17, 1917] at the Sheepshead Bay Speedway in behalf of the Actors' Fund of America. Entrants to the competitive exhibition of cars and modish getups included representatives of the theatrical Profession and society." [1]
