What you’re looking at

This page showcases five cast members from a theatrical production called "The Old Visitors." Each photograph features a performer in costume with an accompanying caption describing their character. The visible captions identify Robert C. Benchley (critic and editor) as Adam, and James Wallace (assistant district attorney of New York City) as William Jennings Bryan, positioned next to a tombstone dated 1896-1904-1912. The Bryan reference appears satirical—using the real political figure's name and election dates to mock his repeated presidential campaigns. The tombstone suggests commentary on Bryan's repeated electoral defeats. The other three cast members' identities and character names are partially obscured in the OCR text, but the page presents what appears to be a theatrical satire featuring recognizable public figures of the era.
