These photos were took in 1900s

My grandpa dad took these sometime in the 1900s eather in Chicago,Los Angeles, or Illinois and I do not know who these people are but they must have been popular because he wouldn't of took the photos of them standing there in different poses about 7 times with seven different pictures so if anybody can help that would be awesome on identifying these people thanks lol sorry that's the best pictures I can take it won't get no clearer it's just the pictures are dark
