Scene from Play | Photograph | Wisconsin Historical Society
In a scene from a play, a woman is lying on the stage floor with her eyes closed. Two men in military uniforms, one brandishing a sword, are standing over her. Another actor behind them attends to his gun as a man in civilian dress reclines on the floor. There is patriotic bunting hanging at the front of the stage. A note on the negative envelope states: "Edith V. fainted. Henry P. Wallace [illegible] dares to touch her."
