I need help identifying this PC...

I was told this PC depicted Joe Jackson directing a musical. He was known to direct, and someone alluded to Jackson on the back of the card. Supposedly, he is the guy who is bent over and has the camera. Anyone ever heard of this before? Please post your comments, I want to hear what you think. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If I'm not mistaken, that would be before Joe's time in Chicago.

the guy batting has a better chance of being hack wilson than the guy with the camera has of being joe jackson.

The guy to the right without the camera is the director correct? So that is the one that should be shoeless Joe. Actually, it kind of looks like him to me. Dan.

In 1910 Joe was a 20 year old nobody in Cleveland . Cool pic though .

google shows the play was in 1910 http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9F0DEED91530E233A25751C0A9609C94 6196D6CF

No reference to 1916, as I agree the postmark looks more like 1910 (although not sure)

The stamp (#390) is consistent with 1910.
