Photographs of J. Frank Mackey and actress Theresa Rollins (later Mrs. Mackey) in various costumes and roles. Of note are two snapshots of the front of an unidentified Canadian cinema which advertises "Uncle Tom's Cabin in talking pictures" and "Mackey's original Humanova Talking Pictures", circa 1910. Mackey and Rollins apparently acted in or managed talking picture play live performances in conjunction with silent film showings. Also present are portraits of Mackey in blackface and in other costumes, and numerous portraits of Rollins.
