Another photograph from this session appears opposite page 54 of Barbara Leaming's biography, If This Was Happiness: A Biography of Rita Hayworth (1989). Neither photograph is dated, but Hayworth began dancing professionally as her father's partner at age 12. This image seems to be that described by Leaming on page 14:

A photograph from 1931 shows Margarita striking a pose in her stage costume—"a roly-poly little girl" (as her school principal aptly described her)—whose garish grown-up attire and slash of dark lipstick make her appear to be playing dress-up in her mother's laughably incongruous clothes. … By striking contrast with the sweetly smiling child in the photograph who would have been only twelve in the spring of 1931, subsequent press accounts of her Carthay Circle debut … would describe "a buxom … sultry-looking girl of fourteen." The disparity suggests a subtext of profound discomfort with how very young Margarita actually was when her thirty-six-year-old father decided to take her as his partner.

Background
"Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly began publishing in 1876. In 1904, it was renamed Leslie's Monthly Magazine, and then Leslie's Magazine in 1905. Later that year (in the middle of volume 60), it was renamed the American Illustrated Magazine, shortening to the American Magazine in 1906. It kept continuous volume numbering throughout its history. The magazine ceased publication in 1956. While no copyright renewals are known for the issues, a number of stories that appeared in the magazine had their copyrights renewed."
