Studio, America c. 1917 AP1710 Costume String strap stage bra and shorts dance outfit. Hat. TML. N-1. Bellage. Bare feet. Actions Dancer Ann Penington stretches on her tip-toes (1). Commentary Ann Pennington makes the transition from Ziegfeld Girl to the movies in 1916, and this still may be from her 1917 film The Antics of Ann. Ann Pennington's title, "The Girl With Dimpled Knees," is a deceptively complete description of just what is of interest in the late teens. String straps appear in halters as well (OA1410).
