Pinna Nesbit
Toronto Daily Star, 16 September 1924
Pinna Nesbit (1896-1950) was a Canadian silent film actress, appearing in movies between 1917 and 1920. Frederick Cruger was husband number two of three. Her Wikipedia page states flatly that she had an affair with the Prince of Wales - perhaps the caption's reference to her as a "favorite dancing partner" was a polite euphemism.
The October 17 1925 edition of the Hamilton Evening Journal (of Hamilton, Ohio), ran an article claiming that Mrs. Cruger had received a vanity case from the Prince that was made of platinum and encrusted with emeralds and diamonds.
