Is that Fay Holderness who's about to discover Babe Hardy as the pièce de résistance?

I wonder how Fay felt working with the original Chaplin one month and working with a phony Chaplin in another month.

Man at the table looks like Harry Naughton who would shortly become producer Louis Burtein’s nephew-in-law by marrying LB’s niece Millie. They all had worked at Vim in Jacksonville.
