To me, this illustrates how different some shows can be, and still very much the same. This photo is reminiscent of those of Ringling's Sail Loft, in Sarasota, and even of shots of Mamie Ward's busy rooms when she oversaw the creation of wardrobe only seen on a circus. A large room full of workers, mostly skilled women with needle and thread, turning out the splendor of the coming season. Few know that Mabel Stark captained a department of this winter work, running the Cut and Design section for Al. G. Barnes for many winters.
