I think it's a Shriners masonic radiator badge

Shriner badge. If you enlarge it enough it has clarity enough to make out the scimitar on the lower side and the 'arch' above. Can't possibly make out any words upon it though. Believe the auto is a Buick.

I thought the scimitar was above the crescent ("arch").  Or is the badge mounted upside down?  In any case, I'll take your collective word for it.

Does anyone recognize the radiator badge?  Thanks.

It’s a Buick.

I just saw what I saw, so thanks to Dellet we can see there are more options for placing the big knife than one universal design. What I know about Masonry is very little, Shriners even less. 
However I know Buicks when I see 'em usually-  Roll Eyes Thanks Keith.
Here's a leap- I think she was shooting #6 shot.

I don't think its a Buick. It's a 1925 Packard.

The radiator shell and the push-out windshield do suggest a Packard, but the bumper does not.  Of course, the bumper may be a replacement.

Well, I've been wrong before (once), and a two-minute Google search makes me doubt my Buick ID. I am less convinced. Dunno if it's a Packard though. I once owned a later, 1934 Packard for a short while. Six-cylinder model, the econo model of the time. Probably why it survived the depression. Nice car.

The more I look, the more I’m leaning towards a Packard too!

I owned this Packard's close relative. This is a Packard if you overlook the rest of the serving of goodness

The young lady is Dorothy Provine, who was the star of "The Bonnie Parker Story ".

Not surprisingly I'd say, two years later Miss Provine was picked to play the head chanteuse on The Roaring Twenties tv series.  The movie was a classic American International gangster exploitation effort.  The tv series was an often mildly light-hearted  Warner Bros. product that shamelessly rode on the coattails of the hugely popular The Untouchables.  Miss Provine did a memorable job in both roles.
