[Robert Moulton]

Would love to see a clearer picture of this circa January 1915 cast shot of a show that Buster, Joe, and Jingles appeared in:

Here's a writeup:

I also found a description of this show, in all places, in the December 20, 1930 edition of the New Yorker. Seems there was a barber named Sully in the Putnam Building in New York and his shop was a hangout for performers. The Hammersteins got the idea to put on a show at the Victoria with the barber in it as an advertising stunt. Show ran for 14 shows. The article is by Loney Haskell, who was the more or less permanent MC at Hammerstein's Victoria. Haskell also appeared in the show and can be seen in the photo.
