Herbert Kerr (1903), as well as several designs for later productions such as the musical Betty (1916), and possibly for the Follies (ca. 1920s). There is also a costume design by Robert Crafter for the character Lola, from an unidentified production of the opera Cavalleria rusticana (1909), as well as costume designs for a Bacchanale dance for Laurent Novikoff (1911) and an Oriental dance for Mikhail Mordkin (1910).
