These are the American skaters who competed in the 1924 winter Olympics. According to the Evening Star. January 14, 1924, Page 27, chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045462/1924-01-14/ed-... "PARIS, January 14.—The American Olympic skating team, in charge of William Taylor, the manager, reached Paris yesterday, much fatigued from an unusually rough crossing. Charles Jewtraw, Harry Kaskey, William Steinmetz. Valentine Bialis and Richard Donovan recuperated promptly, but Joe Moore was seasick for nine days, and is badly used up. The team will leave for Chamonix this evening. Miss Beatrix Loughran, the champion figure skater, accompanied the team."

The team left for Europe on the President Monroe on January 2, 1924 according to the Evening Star. January 03, 1924, page 30, col 2, near top chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045462/1924-01-03/ed-... The Winter Olympics began on January 26, 1924. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_skating_at_the_1924_Winter_Ol... The Alaska Daily Empire. January 16, 1924, Page 5, col 2 has a portrait of Beatrix Loughran with the same label attached to her fur. chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn84020657/1924-01-16/ed-... So it is likely that the Bain group picture was taken at the beginning of the trip to Europe. I think it must have been on the outgoing trip, because Beatrix Loughran went on to the world figure-skating championships (Feb 16-17, 1924). See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1924_World_Figure_Skating_Champions... Meanwhile, according to the Omaha Morning Bee. February 14, 1924, CITY EDITION, Page 12, col 3, near bottom chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn84024326/1924-02-14/ed-... the male speed-skaters were expected to compete in the upcoming national amateur speed-skating championships at Saranac, N.Y. (on Lake Placid). For a report of the event, see Evening Star. February 24, 1924, Page 2, Image 62, column 3, top chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045462/1924-02-24/ed-...

The band may be en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_Dixieland_Jass_Band "In late 1917, the spelling of the band's name was changed to Original Dixieland Jazz Band."

Thanks swanq for identifying all the members as well as the probable date. We'll add that info to the catalog record.

It isn't the train that interests me; it is the guy on the roller-skates!

Correct spelling Maxine Elliott, American stage actress (1868&ndash1940).
Wystan said:
Maxine Elliott had her own theater in New York City, which bore her name. She was in St. Moritz when a runaway "bobsleigh" with defective steering gear rammed into three tourists, injuring them severely but not fatally.
