I came across this photo online a few years ago and have never been able to figure out when or where it was taken or who else is in the photo. Judging from CC's appearance, I believe this was probably taken circa mid-1920s, although it's hard to tell if his hair is dyed or not. Due to the glum faces, my first thought was that this was a meeting between Charlie and his legal team. The man to his right might be his longtime attorney Loyd Wright, who was about his age, but I have been unable to find any photos of Wright as a young man to make any real comparisons (there are some photos of him as an older man on ebay). I also thought it could also be a press conference but everyone looks so serious. Charlie usually put on his "prop smile" for those. Any ideas?
