OriginalJuanita Hall in the rôle of Bloody Mary in the original production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's South Pacific.
Reason
Getting photographs from major Broadway shows of this quality is rather rare, and this is an amazing image for Juanita Hall, way better than anything else we had for her. It's not perfect, but that's the thing about Van Vechten: He's a window to a period of time that no-one else covers in the same way. Probably going to be seeing a number of his photographs related to the Harlem Renaissance this month because Wikipedia's celebrating the American Black History month (the British one is October), and I'm quite happy to take an extra push.
