Wordless Wednesday is a daily
prompt at Geneabloggers that asks family historians to create a post in which
the main focus is a photograph or image.
This is another picture of my great-aunt Helen Killeen Parker’s friends at Ocean View, sometime between 1918 and 1920. This one is captioned “Actors,” but don’t ask
me why. Do they look theatrical?

Lively photo. Perhaps they are acting or posing for the camera.
ReplyDeleteThere's another photo where they're "swimming" in the sand. Now THAT one should be titled "Actors."
DeleteI guess there are no names? Aunt Helen needed creative memories back then to remind her of the who, what, when, and where of scrapbooking!
ReplyDeleteMaybe they were acting sun burnt.
The girl standing is Gertrude. She's labeled in another picture wearing the same cap but different bathing garb. Maybe it was a different day. Helen also labeled Sarah, Agnes, and Lucille, but they're not in this picture.
DeleteWell they are certainly "acting" happy and I love the bathing costumes!
ReplyDeleteThose swim dresses and stockings had to be hot.
DeleteThey do appear to be of the acting class! Great photo! It's funny about how back then (through my own grandmother's album) everyone seemed to be actors!
ReplyDeleteI guess goofing off in front of a camera is universal and timeless.
DeleteI want that bathing suit as a dress along with that headband...I would certainly have loved to be among those actors!
ReplyDeleteI love your photos...they would make a very interesting collage.
Happy WEdnesday!
The gal on the left looks like she'd fit in with Lucy and Ethel at the candy factory.
DeleteI just love the bathing suits and they certainly look to be having fun.
ReplyDeleteThe girl on the right is certainly ready to act. They seem like a happy bunch.
