This image was taken for a story that ran in The Manawatu Evening Standard on 17 December 1958: "Twelve Commercial Travellers dressed as clowns today took 102 orphans from the various homes and treated them with a visit to Father Christmas at Messrs. Collinson and Cunninghame's Cave and later to a film at the Regent Theatre. The clowns are seen escorting the children to their seats at the theatre."
