A black and white photograph depicting a group of people, likely in San Francisco during the early 1900s. It shows men dressed as Salvation Army officials standing on either side of an audience formed by children who are singing together while some hold music books or hymnals.

In the background is urban architecture with visible signage for "Theatre" and other businesses. One sign indicates a Shop Foreman's location. The photo captures various expressions, from solemn to engaged among both adults and children involved in this performance possibly during a Salvation Army event such as worship service where girls' Sunday school class are singing between preachings.

A drum is seen on the ground beside one of the men who appears attentive while others observe or wait for their turn. The overall setting suggests an organized, communal atmosphere characteristic of early 20th-century community activities in American cities like San Francisco with religious undertones associated with Salvation Army's work during that period.
