Very interesting information
Hoss.
I was thinking 'Cowboys & Indians'....not William Tell. That was a complete surprise.

ScottyB, that 'mystery' movie set photo has intrigued me for quite some time.
(if I remember correctly,
BRR posted it a couple months back) I tried to figure out the location then but I kept hitting 'road blocks'.
I'm not sure why, but I immediately thought it looked like a location photograph as opposed to a movie studio. (even though the building on the right
has a sign that says 'film lab') --which begs the question; did studios set up film labs on location shoots?
I thought the tall gentleman on the right might be a young Edward Everett Horton. (note the film laboratory sign behind the camera)
detail
In 1923 Mr. Horton appeared in an early version of 'Ruggles of Red Gap' (which filmed on location in Eureka California).
-but there was something in my findings that led me to believe this wasn't a photo from that production) I can't remember why.
These two attractive people on the left also caught my eye.
detail
To me the man looks like a boxer. (1920s boxers frequently showed up on film)
Does he look familiar to anyone? ....does she?
As for these two....
detail
The young lady looks somewhat familiar (Mary Miles Minter?) & for some reason I keep thinking the mustached actor might be a woman in drag.
...there's also a 'priest' in the photo.
doing something priest-like(?) with his hands.
One last thing; judging by the various costumes, do you think it's possible the actors are from different movies productions?
(which would throw the location back to a studio lot)

p.s.
ScottyB, is
my Mary Miles Minter
your Mary Pickford? (I'm not sure which one you thought was Ms.Pickford)
