Description
Schatzer's Concert Orchestra of Boothbay Harbor posed for this formal portrait at the studio of F. H. McDougall. The caption below the mounted photograph reads, "Music Furnished, Terms Reasonable. Apply to R.A. Schatzer." Although Robert A. Schatzer was not a resident of the Boothbay area, several other local men have been identified in the photo: Judge Brackett, Charles Kenniston, Link Harris, Henry Wylie, and Gail Brackett. (Two of the men have not been identified.)
Nothing is known about this orchestra's founding or duration or its performances, but a letterhead with the orchestra's logo bears these claims: "With a Good Repertoire of Music," and "Not the Best in the Business But Good." More cryptic was this: "Permanent Address, N.Y. Clipper." (The New York Clipper, also known as the Clipper, was an entertainment newspaper in New York City from 1853 until 1924. It was ultimately absorbed by Variety.)
