This play is mentioned in other accounts and was part of the Bais Yaakov repertoire (and of general interest for Jewish writers beyond Bais Yaakov); although no script survives, the historical events depicted involve the early nineteenth-century forced conscription of very young Jewish boys into the Czarist army, for extended periods.
The back of the photo identifies the location and time of the photo (Rozan/Ruzhan, Purim 1935) and apparently lists a few participants (perhaps trying to “map” them): Paskowitz, in the middle front and left of the back row; Sarale Albeck; and Baylin.
From Devorah Epelgrad Cohn‘s albums.
