Sheridan and Flanagan?

I found this picture in a folder of old Flanagan pictures. On the back is written “Sheridan and Flanagan”. Neither of these guys looks like Neely Edwards, my mom’s great-uncle’s vaudeville partner, but the chap on our left does appear to be Edward Flanagan, my great-grandmother’s brother. I can only speculate that either he had a partner before he joined up with Neely Edwards and made it big or whoever wrote on the back was mistaken.

Still, it’s an interesting picture. Judging by his age, the clothes, and so on I think this picture was taken around 1900 in Providence, Rhode Island.

I really need to do something with all of the old vaudeville pictures I have.
