Can you identify the club and year?

June Friel sent me this great rare photo from Comics past. It amazes me that they have such serious expressions on their faces, expressions seemingly more appropriate for men being sent off to war. It is hard to tell whether their faces are painted with metallic pigment or burnt cork. l lean towards metallic pigment.

If you have any information for June. I will forward it to her.

Hello,
My grandfather, Joseph Prettyman, was a comic in the mummers parade around or before the 1920's. He was my dad's father. My mom always told us that she had a photo somewhere of our grandfather from one of the parades. We have just discovered this photo. It is my grandfather with two other men dressed as clowns or women. They each have some type of badge or medal hanging from a ribbon pinned on their costumes. I would appreciate any information that anyone may have as to the year, or the comic division that my grandfather belonged to. Is there some type of record book with lists of members?

My father and his parents lived in South Philadelphia at Second and Wolf Sts in the 20's. He is the man seated on the left. Thank you for your time.
June Friel
