Professional Training in Public Speaking 8
A man in business dress stands reading from a book. In front of him is another man, perhaps an instructor, who appears to be controlling the arm of a phonograph as a record is playing. The man at the left is a student in a professional speech training class, which we know from Kosti's assigned shoot at Staley Speech Class. He is presumably practicing public speaking, while listening to a phonograph record for guidance.
