In August 1935, photojournalists covered the adjournment of the first session of the 74th Congress. One photographer snapped a crew of impish cameramen horsing around on the House Floor during the revelry. “Noteworthy talent must have been scarce during the House celebration marking the adjournment of Congress,” the caption reads, “for the Capitol cameramen were pressed upon to render a song on the floor of the House—render, in this case meaning to tear apart.” Apparently, the photographers were not the best singers, and the caption writers used the opportunity to tease them.
