On examination of the people in front of the wagon in the foreground, the actors appear to be engaged in prayer or a religious experience. Several are kneeling, while others hold their hands over their heads.

Is there any information on the back of the photos? Names, numbers, etc.? I can try and look at the Herrick files with further info.
