Thanks so much for this link swanq. We'll add some of the information about the operetta to each of the records the next time we update.

My mistake. The note has already been added.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called LIGHT Fixture (s), and we'd love to have this added to the group!

Was she part of the same family as John F. Kennedy?

This picture is really worth a thousand words. It tells a story of upper class society in Miss Kennedy's attire and her own dog. Even female idols of today have so called "designer dogs" like Paris Hilton's "tinkerbell."

This photograph exudes the aristocracy of society at the time. Her hat, full-length fur, and dog that she carries as an accessory familiarly channel celebrities today.

I believe her full name was Marian Kennedy. There was an article about this event (the first specialty show given by the American Pomeranian Club) in The New York Times, which took place in the sun parlor of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City on January 10, 1911. 262 dogs took part, and the event featured many wealthy and notable personages. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9B07E4DB1331E233A...

It looks like Marian Kennedy was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. Van Rensselaer Kennedy. She was in the New York Times quite a bit beginning in 1910. query.nytimes.com/search/sitesearch?query="marian+ke...
