These appear to be the same photo. Black and white version has a date attached to it:

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Standing portraits, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
Anne (LOC P&P) said:
Harry Angstrom: Thanks! We'll add to the source data that it is "probably" John Allen Sterling.

Play it again, Sam!

beachcomber australia Ah, the most frequently repeated misquotation in cinema history [it's actually just "Play it, Sam"], but very apt for a Sam Hood photo! :) Judging by the objects on display, this photo was taken at the same time - emuseum.anmm.gov.au/code/emuseum.asp?id=25694

beachcomber australia pellethepoet A fabulous piano. There's an interesting article on the saloon and interior of the vessel. This photograph was most certainly taken at the same time as the one of Ray Sterling. Judging by how young Ray Sterling looks in the other photograph, this photograph was probably taken between 1912 and 1916.

OMG! It is a "player piano" according to that newspaper article - that's cheating, Sam! And evidently the dining table turned into a gramophone which played . Caruso singing La bohème.
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
beachcomber australia It is cheating indeed! And he is sitting there making out like he can play piano ;) We think this photograph depicts the gramophone in the background, what do you think? Although, we're not quite sure how it was part of the centre table...
