Description:: A group of 4-5, young, Chinese-American men are grouped together at center and look to the camera as they play a variety of percussion instruments. The leftmost young man beats a floor drum decorated with Chinese characters. At the center of the group, another man crouches low to the ground while playing cymbals. The man to the right of him holds a small gong. Rightmost, a man in a white, ceremonial outfit also holds cymbals. Another young man behind him is dressed in the same garb. Between the floor drum player and the crouching cymbal player, a man stands with crossed arms. A large crowd surrounds this group and everyone appears to look to camera. People wrap around the group along the left edge of the image. A rope extends in front of the spectators standing behind the group at right. Storefronts line the background at left and recede back as they extend towards center. A sign at left reads: "[GR]OCERY CO. [Chinese characters] 512."
