These descriptions are unsatisfying.

Search William Hope. He was one of the premiere spirit photographers of the early Twentieth Century and was considered by believers and supporters to be a true master of the art of producing spirits on ordinary photographic plates. To others, he was a clever trickster and while he had more than his share of detractors, he was often accused of fraud but was never caught at it -- thanks to the controversy that surrounded the main attempt to expose him.

Miss Florence Emily Gilbert (b.1896) and Miss Kathryn (Kitty) Bache (1896–1979), performed in the suffrage opera, "Melinda and Her Sisters", by Mrs. O.H.P. (Alva) Belmont (1853-1933) and Miss Elsa Maxwell (1883-1963), in which society appeared to satirize society.

Miss Gilbert performed in "Love Letters" and "The Castle Dancers", and Miss Bache performed in "Love Letters", Sporting Sister", "Hello Song" and "Suffrage Parade".

The opera was performed February 18, 1916, in the grand ballroom of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City.

Miss Florence Gilbert, a débutante daughter of Mrs. Cyril (Lilla Brokaw) Dugmore (1870-1939), and her first husband, the late Harry Bramhall Gilbert (1861-1911), was introduced to society in January, 1916, at a tea and dance for 1,000 at Sherry's. She married Sergeant Russell Evans Tucker, Jr., O.R.C. in 1918. As an aside, Florence Gilbert was a bridesmaid and Russell Tucker, Jr., an usher, at the wedding of Mary Duke and Anthony Biddle in July, 1915. There was no word on who caught the bouquet ;)

Miss Kathryn (Kitty) Bache [note correct spelling of first name], the débutante daughter of the Wall Street financier Jules Bache (1861-1944), was introduced to society in January, 1914, at a dance at Sherry's. She married the theatre producer, Gilbert Miller (1884-1969), in Paris, France, in 1927.

She was a supporter of American theatre who in 1941 helped found the New York branch of the Escholier Club. Columbia University's Kathryn Bache Miller Theatre was named in her honor. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]

Thanks for the information and for connecting this photo with the probable context of the suffrage opera. We can add to the description when we next update it.

This photo ran in the Sunday (Portland) Oregonian on July 23, 1916 with the caption: "Florence Gilbert, daughter of Mrs. Dugmore, and Kathryn K. Bache, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jules Bache, are two of the society girls who will have parts in the suffrage play written by Mrs. Belmont." oregonnews.uoregon.edu/lccn/sn83045782/1916-07-23/ed-1/se...
