Title
First Volunteers
Description
Black and white image of a group of soldiers in World War I uniforms running a recruiting station in front of the Liberty Theater. At a table with a sign stating 'Your Country Needs You!' one soldier supervises a man in a hat and suit coat filling out paperwork. The other six soldiers stand at attention in front of the various signs advertising the currently playing movie, which appears to be the 1916 film 'Fighting Blood,' starring William Farnum, produced by Fox Hollywood Studios. A sign in the background advertises a 'Special Program Tonight... 15.' The image labeled back c is actually WCMpic_011822, a duplicate of WCMpic_001729 that provides more information about the image.
