Behind them an angry farmer brandishes a buggy whip. In the background is the William Mayhue general store in Newhall, California, in Santa Clarita north of Los Angeles. |

| This print is identified on its reverse as a scene still for "Beauty in Chains," a 1918 drama set in a Spanish village. It is much more likely to be a scene still for a Universal comedy such as "The Boob's Victory," a 1916 short featuring Hall and Leonard. If so, the farmer with the whip is probably the actor Kingsley Benedict. |
