A crowd stands along the shore at Venice Beach the day after Aimee Semple McPherson disappeared from the same beach. The crowd stands across the mid-ground at right and center; most face towards the left. Most spectators also wear jackets at the beach. Venice's shoreline stretches back at left. Buildings rise behind the throng of people in the distance at right. On one of the buildings it reads, "HOTEL CADILLAC." In the far distance at left, Lick Pier stretches into the water.
