June Mathis(1887-1927)

Suffered a fatal heart attack while watching a performance of the Broadway play "The Squall" at the old 48th St. Theater with her mother. The performance came to a halt when Mathis suddenly screamed out, "Oh, mother, I'm dying." She was carried out to the theater alley, where she was pronounced dead.

I had the German officers coming down the stairs with women's clothing on. To hundreds of people that meant no more than a masquerade party. To those who have lived and read, and who understand life, that scene stood out as one of the most terrific things in the picture
