A beautiful large chorus group on an ambitiously painted 'neo-classical' stage set with painted pillars, curtains and flats, and a small battleship painted on the 'proscenium arch'. Ten of the performers are in drag wearing styles of the late1910s/early 1920s.

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