'Russell L. Long his Photos.  Will note these happen to be old time pictures taken in Morgantown, W. Va. street parade events.  One of November 11, 1918, other two on a Labor Day parade.  While I did the impersonation of Charlie Chaplin, his double in both parades here in Morgantown, W. Va.  Might add that my first impersonating of Chaplin was with the old Dixy Theatre on High Street, now where Reiner and Co. in business today.  If you look carefully you can see on these pictures some change in new buildings on High Street, and whereabouts been put up.
