NotesFrom the appearance of the women's clothing and hats in this image it appears to have been taken in the mid 1930's. Since the audience seems to be made up entirely of women this may have been the Foods on Parade cooking school which was held yearly at the Orpheum Theatre for several years. Address verified in the 1936 Galesburg City Directory.
