Description "A group of people filming the song-o-reel ""Martha"""
Dimension 7x5
First, I'd say the photo was taken in 1922. Now - who are the people? I have no idea, but zooming in on the carriage the man in the carriage looks very much like Walt.
Barron Missakian was the photographer husband of Nadine Miassakian (seen below with Ub and Roy) who occasionally did some bookkeeping for Walt at Laugh-O-Grams.

No offense, but I think the man in the carriage is much too old to be Walt Disney. Walt would have only been around 21 when this image was taken. The man in the front of the carriage looks much older, and his physical size appears to me to be bigger than what Walt would have been.
David, None taken. You're most likely right I saw the suit as oversized in my haste.
