DescriptionMary Allison, a silent era cinema actress, walks out of the Alvarado in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She walks away from an adobe building with a barrel roof and archways. There is a large Pueblo-style ceramic planter with a big cactus inside between the building and a railing. Mary Allison wears a long sleeve top that falls low over her hips. Beneath is a shin length skirt. Her hair is in finger curls and is pinned back. She looks over her right shoulder.
