Part of James Gardiner Collection: photographs of military, naval, and prisoner-of-war camp drag.

A man standing in the back row has a pipe, some seated men in drag are wearing fur coats and a person sitting on the floor has their face blurred. Amateur dramatics: male and female actors in an unidentified (British) location, including three charcters in drag, who are identifiable as they are wearing far more make-up than the 'real' women would have done in this period. Early 1920s.
