NEW YORK STREET SCENE
New York Street in use on the stage

Charity, seen here, was played by Deirdre Moloney.
Can some one please explain what's going on here? I suspect the distortion has something to do with the foreshortening of the lenses used to take this photo. The backcloth is 14 feet high and it would appear that "Charity" is only a few feet in front of the cloth. Which makes her just over seven feet high. - I don't believe it. However, use your back button and go back two pages to compare the height of the "Lady from the gym" standing in front of this same cloth, but photographed in the painting workshop.
