New York circa 1925. "McCall." Marion McCall Converse, the future ex-wife of Converse M. Converse, a society couple whose split came in a much-publicized divorce. 5x7 glass negative, George Grantham Bain Collection. View full size.
The state of dentistry being what it was in 1925, Marion has the most perfect teeth I recall seeing in Shorpy days.
I guess her garage had to figure out how to remove that classy monogram. Her divorce may have created a name change for the former Mrs. Converse.
I'm secretly proud of this woman for having the gall to divorce Converse squared in that day and age.
[Actually he divorced her. "Mr. Converse charges cruelty, alleging his wife drove a nail file into his ankle while they were ar Berne, Switzerland, and that in moments of anger she would pull his hair out by the roots." - Dave]
She looks very tired. Must be all the parties in East and West Egg. Hopefully she is on her way to the nearest motel.
I think her next husband was Evil Grimace.
But then I like any lady in fur.
