Group portrait of members of an unknown orchestra or band standing before the stage at the Hotel Muehlebach in what is believed to be the Plantation Grill. Sign hanging from the top middle of back drop has three lines of text of names. The top begins CHARLES [last name behind hanging flowers]; second line is WILLIAM[*] S[***]ERS; the third line is ZEZ CON[FR?]EY. It's possible the Charles refers to composer and band leader Charles L. Johnson. Zez Confrey is the nick name of Edward Elzear, a pianist and composer.
