Bio History Note

It is not known if this picture was taken at Manchester College or Mt. Morris College, however it was not found wtih the Mt. Morris materials.  Portrait photographs hang on the wall and an archivist might be able to identify these individuals and identify the location.  Each character is in a costume.  It appears as if the following costumes are represented and perhaps the players are the cast of a variety show or vaudeville presentation:

Chinese

Brethren man in collar and hat

White man in black face with top hat holding a child in fur cap on lap

One man reclining in a suit and hat holding a laughing mask

Cowboys

Nun or woman in burka with face exposed

Lady wrapped in a striped flag with a ribbon of stars.

Women dressed up

Woman in hooded cape

Woman with stars on dress and cap

Man in heavily patterened shirt
