An audience of primarily women are seated in an auditorium. A runway is built on the auditorium's main aisle. The runway ends toward the back in front of the exits. The crowd were attendees of The Los Angeles Times' First Annual Fashion Show, where designers from the fashion and entertainment worlds introduced their Fall styles. This crowd was just one of several audiences whom attended multiple showings of the event--which included amateur and professional models, actors, singing, and other types of entertainment. The show took place in the Los Angeles Times building on 202 West 1st Street, inside what is now the Harry Chandler Auditorium.

Caption

Text from newspaper caption: Women Crowd Times Auditorium for Fall Fashion Show, Auditorium Taxed to Capacity As Women See Afternoon Parade of Models, Packed to capacity for three shows yesterday, The Times auditorium proved unequal to the crowds demanding admittance to the special fashion show and model parade of fall wearing apparel. Above photo shows crowd at the afternoon show at 2:30 o'clock, which was equaled by the crowd at 11 a.m. and at 5:30 p.m. Three shows are to follow Friday and at the same hours and the advance request for tickets indicates another day of capacity attendance. The show was planned for a single day but requests for admittance were so heavy that an extra three showings were added. ["Fall Styles Make Debut." Los Angeles Times, 11 Oct. 1935]
