Washington, D.C., 1929. The caption for this one is, disappointingly, NO CAPTION. That looks like Herbert Hoover on the left. Who are the others? What about the lady? Harris & Ewing Collection glass negative. View full size.

Billy Sunday

Submitted by gordon61 on Thu, 05/30/2013 - 8:05am.

I think the standing character leaning on a small podium (back right) might be the brimstone and fire preacher Billy Sunday. Pictures of him show him leaning heavily on a small podium like that. He had a national following and used a lot of physical action and antics in his sermons. These postures he took while preaching were widely known and often poked fun at.

I thought that was Hoover in the center.

the one on the left is Theodore Roosevelt, although it also looks like Ted Kennedy, and yes, perhaps Hoover.

The lady draws my eye. She seems to look looks a bit oddly upon the carvings, presumably her creations. They are all interesting, but would I be willing to sleep with them in the same house at night?

I don't think so.
