Photo Drama of Creation surprise

[jwhess]

I had a wonderful surprise this week.  While some of our publishers were going over some very old photographs of our village (around WW1), they found a picture of a group of sisters advertising the PhotoDrama in our little village.  We didn't get a congregation until 1970.  So no one can identify these diligent sisters (and one little boy) in the photo.

Photo is shown below.

 

It is possible that the 100 year old photo is mislabeled.  They could be standing in front of the sign advertising the Drama but really are part of a 4th of July demonstration or something similar.

 

Our history is more detailed than we ever knew.

 

Did anyone else have the Photo Drama come to be shown in their congregation territory?

Just a thought: this doesn't look like a spontaneous photo; it's posed, so it was probably intended to be official.

 

If the photo-drama was to take place in municipal halls, the flag was often required to be displayed because the event was public. No doubt the question of strict neutrality had not yet been addressed in a clear and decisive manner.

 

The flowers may be part of the decor and the welcome given to the public.
