LOC: Note mistranscription to caption of name on negative. She was performing with the Metropolitan Opera in Boris Godunov in November, 1915. We have a lot of opera people in this batch. Seems like the photographer was hanging out at the stage door of the Met. archives.metoperafamily.org/archives/frame.htm
