Additional Details

A wonderful image, showing the Afro-American Orchestra on stage. In the foreground, we see the backs of a row of seats. We could find nothing about this musical group, other than the likelihood that they were from Jacksonville, Florida---based on the photographer's (Obrien De Groot) stamp on the reverse. Given the instrumental composition of the group, it is likely that it was a dance-band.
