Caption Contest from 1930s! A ghostly view into the present?

What is she thinking?  What do YOU think? – Click to enlarge to see her face.

This photo formed the base for an iPad drawing I did of the same scene 80 years later, circa 2012, for the Kaiserslautern Media Center. I always wondered what she was doing and thinking. Was she looking for the trolley? Did she see Mr. Turgetto, the photographer? Can she see me standing beside him, through time? I will look for her the next time I walk by this spot.
