Those passengers would have been sitting on a DC-6B... here are two of Western's on the ground at LAX. First class on props was generally at the rear, away from the noise and vibration of the engines. As for curtains--they were used on props in both coach and first class--although the DC8 jet used them on earlier models, well into the '60s.
