American Red Cross nurses from the Pasadena chapter taking part in a Rose Parade during the first world war?
This photo must be very old. First war would be just about right. But because of the Uncle Sam costume I'm going to say they're recruiting--recruiting nurses.
This is a far-fetched guess.
Petrea, you could be right. Maybe it's 1914, when the Pasadena chapter was founded.
Red Cross nurses (my Grammie was one...a *few* years later). Would assume it was a recruiting promo, or 4th of July event? Or, Influenza event? "Be patriotic, don't get influenza?"
Looks like perhaps the Madeline Dr location with the bricks...but if it's the age suggested...it could be almost anywhere in town.
Miss H., that's sweet.
I want not approve on it. I assume warm-hearted post. Expressly the appellation attracted me to study the intact story.
about the tradition behind those striped pants..........I blame the Romans
The "wily Yankee" was a popular mid-nineteenth-century stage character from American regional theater. With tricks of cunning and an exaggerated costume (top hat, wide striped pants), this stock player became the visual prototype for America's "Uncle Sam." The motif of the whittler relates to the character's role. Between acts, the Yankee remained on stage, whittled, and told parables. At times, he also flirted with both the women and men in the audience as he suggestively carved a stick at his crotch.
What's that?
A Wily Yankee sans the stripped pants
Opulently I assent to but I about the collection should have more info then it has.
