  Possibly her husband? projects.latimes.com/hollywood/star-walk/john-charles-tho... Singer and child actress Ruby Rothnour married baritone John Charles Thomas in 1913; apparently they divorced in 1923, but maybe as early as 1916: books.google.com/books?id=Pi4HyzVJnFwC&lpg=PA24&o...

  Flagg was the illustrator who created Uncle Sam "I WANT YOU," I believe. Illustrators at the time used life-sized mannequins like this to set up poses while sketching. Cheaper than live models, and they are better at keeping still.

• The Library of Congress said:

  Thanks to all for the interest in this series of photographs. We will add James Montgomery Flagg's full name to the source data and then reload the description to Flickr.
