Description

Photograph of Evert West posing in front of the residence of Jack Benny in Beverly Hills. In the foreground, a brick-paved walkway stretches from the lower right corner on a steep angle to the left. A sidewalk bisects it in the near distance. Evert Shaw stands, right-of-center, on the sidewalk. He looks to the camera and rests his hands in his pockets. Past the sidewalk and Evert, the walkway continues to extend back and to the left towards a mansion standing in the background. The 2-story mansion stands in partial view, extending beyond the frame at left. The front door and an oculus above it stand along the left edge of the image. To the right, 3 arched windows line the second floor. Trees and shrubbery in the front yard partially obscure the right side of the house.
