'Tis the Season to Ask, "What's Going on Here?"

What do you think happened at this 1925 Christmas party?  Did the participants have fun?  What about the lady on the bottom left?  She reminds me of a character from a Krzysztof Kieślowski film.  What do you think is going through her mind?  What's going on with the little bear, the oil can and the tiny house?  What about the "go go" sign?  And what's up with the electrical cord coming down from the ceiling light?

Click on the picture or the link to go to a larger version on the Shorpy Historical Photo Archive so you can view it up close. It's worth it.

Washington, D.C., 1925.  "Western Electric Co. group."
