Mabel Stark

The point in the Alfred Court photos, in the thread below, as the tricks looked posed or staged was this, Where those actual pictures of the act, or were they staged shots for publicity purposes, such as we see above and below. Where were the audience in the Court photos, and why were the props pushed to the back of one picture, and in the middle in the others. These pictures are obviously from two different time periods. Mabel has aged as we all do. If you enlarge the picture below, it suspiciously looks like Mabel has been added to the shot, and it is a tighter shot then the one above.
