Description: Related to the article, "Booth Army Has Parade: General Lauded by Mayor" Los Angeles Times, 27 Oct. 1935
Salvation Army General Evangeline Booth sits in what appears to be a living room or hotel room in a cushioned chair. She holds paper in her hand and on her lap. She wears the Salvationist uniform, inspired by the military, and has the signature "S" of the organization sewn on her collar. An unidentified man in glasses sits to the left of the frame, obscured by a piano. (It is possibly composer, Horace W. Beck, who during their stay in Los Angeles, gifted Booth and the organization a composition called, "The War Drum.") She and her Army members were in Los Angeles for the Salvation Army parade, and met in congress to discuss their World for God campaign in which they hoped to add a million more members. Mayor Frank Shaw and many Los Angeles citizens welcomed them to the city.
