Women on a parade float. Los Angeles, photograph, circa 1925

Women on a parade float. Los Angeles, circa 1925. A photo of eight woman playing instruments on a float. There is a trumpet, slide trombone, 2 saxophones, an upright piano, upright bass, a simple drum kit, and possible conductor, as she is barely seen over the piano and no instrument can be discerned. The float is a flat platform on wheels with wood rails around the edge. There is a sign which reads "Babe Egan and her Red Heads. Chotiner's Ravenna Theater." The float is being pulled by a tractor. The tractor has a sign for Wm. L. Hughson Co. Fordson Dealers. The driver is wearing a work smock which has Hughson Service on the back. Fordson was a make of tractor. The street is lined with men, women, and children wanting to see the parade. The reverse indicates that this photo was taken in front of the Majestic Theater. There is a minor tear on the left side of the photo and very minor abrasion damage. This object is in good condition overall.1925年左右的洛杉矶，游行彩车上的女性群体。本照片记录了8名女性在彩车上演奏乐器的场景：彩车上配备小号、滑管长号、两支萨克斯、立式钢琴、立式贝斯、简易架子鼓，另有一位疑似指挥的人员——她几乎被钢琴遮挡，无法看清且无法辨识其持有乐器。该彩车为带轮平板平台，边缘环绕木质护栏，车上设有标牌，上书“贝比·伊根与她的红发女郎们。乔蒂纳拉文纳剧院”。彩车由拖拉机牵引，拖拉机带有“Wm. L. 休森公司（Fordson经销商）”的标牌，驾驶员身着工装罩衫，背部印有“休森服务”字样。Fordson为拖拉机品牌之一。街道两侧挤满了前来观看游行的男女老少。照片背面标注，此照片拍摄于美琪大剧院（Majestic Theater）门前。照片左侧存在一处细微撕痕，另有极轻微的磨损损伤，整体保存状况良好。
