I like the way this scene is observed by the photographer. He is an outsider and obviously keeps his distance but the distance is physical, not emotional. What also fascinates me, is the backdrop of floating letters on the stage truck 'canvas'.

I love the little kid playing nearby, unaware that these women were scorned by society.

What I find interesting is how looking at this photo, if you were not given the context, you might think it has been taken last week. Unlike most of the photos from this era, there clothes are more like what we where today. Leather Jacket, jeans, even the 'girls' outfit is reminiscent of somethig I could or have seen girls whearing today.
