Breakfast with F.I. Chaliapin, M. Gorky, H.G. Wells - was your grandfather invited too?

Memories can be black and white or sepia, like in this case. My wife got this picture from her family. You can see her grandfather organizing cultural events in Russia at the beginning of the last century, before the October Revolution. Somebody wrote on the back of the card a few names, like F.I. Chaliapin, M. Gorky, H.G. Wells. A “x”, now removed with Photoshop, was on the head of the grandpa.

Do you know by chance who are the others? It would be nice to know it: click on the picture to get a hi-res sample. Thanks for your help.
