You see a photo of Ada Reeve in a theatrical costume. She's dressed as Kitty Grey, a character she played at the Apollo Theatre. This photo is interesting because it shows how actors and actresses used to take studio photos in costume, which was a new and exciting thing to do back then. You can learn more about this type of photography at the museum: Victoria and Albert Museum.
