Title
Sock and Buskin Club performers in "Turn to the Right"
Description
Six students from the Sock and Buskin perform in the play "Turn to the Right". The students are dressed in tuxedoes with bow ties or formal dresses. The standing pair to the left gaze at each other, holding hairs. One member of the seated pair in the center gazes at his partner, who is looking ahead. The pair to the right stand and gaze at each other.
Founded in 1926, Sock and Buskin Club was a theater club. The club's name came about from the practice of comedians wearing socks and tragedians wearing a kind of half-shoe known as a "buskin". As the group wished to portray both humor and serious issues in their plays, they settled on a name that would reflect these directions.
