Notes

Description

A group of gleeful young adults sitting in a row going down a large slide. Each person is holding onto to the shoulders of the person in front, the leader holding on to the shoes of the person behind them. A small group of people appear to be in conversation under the slide in the background. The people on the slide could possibly be attending Ann McNaghten and Hal Booth's engagement party.
Possibly related to the article "BEWILDERING MACHINERY OF MIRTH MIXES NEW AND JOLLY COMPLEXITIES," Los Angeles Times, 16 Feb. 1936: D3.
