One of the longest-running plays in its day with 650 consecutive performances, Hoyt's A Trip to Chinatown included a colorful cast of characters, including the actress Mabel Montgomery playing "the bewitching widow". She is shown here in one large portrait-like picture as well as in three smaller images, wearing striking black outfits; lettering in red and brown against a purple and green striped background.
