Stage and screen actor Del Lawrence (also known as Del Stone Lawrence, and Landen Stone Gans) is viewed from the back seated at a desk and reflected in a mirror. He is wearing a costume of an American Indian feather headdress. Lawrence was playing the character of "Wahnotee" (an "Indian Chief") in a revival of Dion Boucicault's The Octoroon. It is likely that this photograph was taken at the Mason Theatre in downtown Los Angeles, as part of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) Federal Theatre Project.
