They're marked South Station (Boston) or Shubert and Panama Hattie 1940.

Two commenters, Bill and Douglas
thought the photos might be of Lucille Bremer,
a featured dancing girl.

Here are two photos of Lucy I grabbed from the internet.
I thought posting them might help with the mystery.

(Addendum: July 2, 2014)
An anonymous commenter has written that these photos of Esther's could, "no way" be Lucille Bremer, but thinks they are Marguerite Chapman. I just did another google search and found a photo of Miss Marguerite Benton.
This photo comes from the J. Willis Sayre Collection of Theatrical
Photographs found in the University of Washington's digital collection.
Miss Benton graced the cover of the March 18, 1940
edition of Life magazine,
where it reported that she was appearing in "DuBarry was a Lady."
This cover story was about the chorus of, "DuBarry" and asked us to,
"meet" them as well as give the reader a glimpse of their home life.
I think that Esther did in fact meet Marguerite Benton and someone
was kind enough to snap those photos of Esther & Margie.
