The title suggests a procession of actors, a subject that New York theatrical circles often staged for publicity, charity or civic events in the early twentieth century. The picture comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that sold news photographs to newspapers and magazines in the years before and after 1910. The record gives no date, and the title comes from the agency's own unverified notes, so the exact occasion is uncertain. The glass negative format of the era, with its fine detail, is worth noticing when looking at the crowd and the street setting.
