Scratching my head
This photograph has me scratching my head. I found it on the Internet many years ago but didn’t think to make a note of the site – I haven’t seen it anywhere since.
It looks like it might be a still from a comedy film of some
sort. Even from this angle you can see the “schoolboys” are way out of their
teens. To my mind the master has the air of a comedian about him. Was he a
music hall (vaudeville) star at some time?
The way he has his victims lined up reminds me of the Jimmy
Edwards’ film Bottoms Up! (Click
here) but in that case the joke was that he had one very long swishy cane
to use on all the boys at once.
So what is this picture, could somebody put me out of my
misery?
