The note above doesn't make it clear, but Vernon Castle was serving as a captain in the Royal Flying Corps, teaching airmen to fly in Texas when his plane crashed.

Funny seeing them as "Vernon Castle and Wife" not as "Vernon and Irene Castle"! Surely she was as well known as him. Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernon_and_Irene_Castle And starring Fred & Ginger: www.imdb.com/title/tt0031983/

The silhouette of the two and their dog would make an excellent stencil. Thanks.

Their book, "Modern Dancing," appeared in 1914. Vernon Blythe adopted Castle as a stage name. Irene's maiden name, appropriately, was Foote. Here is a short film clip of Irene, from 1914: www.britishpathe.com/record.php?id=77119 And from You Tube, Vernon and Irene dancing together: www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5TE74e9vAg

Perry Belmont's wife is the former Miss Jessie Ann Robbins and had been married to Henry T. Sloane before her marriage to Belmont in April 1889. See NYT query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F40614FC3E5811738... Vernon and Irene Castle were best known for their dancing, but Vernon Castle was also a polo fan.

Looks like she's holding her pet monkey, as she does in the next shot in the series:

Thanks so much for your research swanq. And yes, artolog, it appears as if the other photograph of Irene Castle was taken at this event given her dress and the way she is holding her pet monkey. We'll fill in the names in the caption the next time we update the record.
