• The sign is advertising the comedy Happy Hooligan, which played at the Kerredge Theatre on Saturday, April 23, 1904.

• This photo was taken when the Kerredge Theatre was in its infancy. The Finnish Evangelical Lutheran Church is seen to the left. Between the church and theatre, the site of the Quincy tramway is now a footpath on the hill. The advertising sign in front of the church (soon to be the site of the Scott Hotel) promotes a Saturday, April 23rd event which leads me to believe that this photo was taken in 1904.
