A bellboy (who also appears in image number KL 100-036) poses with seven men in a long, narrow pool hall. One man is posed with the bellboy behind the counter at left, three men are standing behind a pool table at center, and three men sit in chairs at right. Beside the counter is a three-foot-tall statue of William Penn holding a box of 10 cent cigars. Two signs, headed “The Palace,” hang on the wall at left and list prices for soda and games. No number has been written on the emulsion side of the negative in the upper right corner of the picture. The number “10” is written in the upper left corner.
