The actors are dressed in a variety of costumes as they sit and stand in rows facing the viewer. Probably a touring company of professional actors, ca. 1918-1920. A couple of them may be men in drag, but not certainly. They are accompanied by two men in scout's uniforms. Unidentified (British) location
