Black and white photograph showing four actors on stage wearing various kinds of hat, including a straw hat and a cow hat.
There was a great assortment of hats in this performance of 'Big Noise at Fort Issimo' at the Northcott Theatre in 1967! We especially love the cow hat, worn here by Lesley Joseph.
