From left to right, Burton Green, Miles Gray, Dr. John Lorden and Martha Woodin sit on the pool deck at El Mirador in Palm Springs. They cluster together, off-center to the right. All but Miles Gray wear street clothes and sit in folding, canvas chairs. Miles Gray appears to have just swam. He sits behind and between Burton Green and John Lordan. Behind and to the left of Burton Green, the pool's diving board extends to the left and out-of-frame. An arcade stretches around the pool deck's perimeter in the background.

Payne sits on the right side of the table and looks towards the left. The Desert Inn's grounds sprawl across the background.
A different photograph taken on the same occasion appears with the caption: Angelenos Hosts at Oasis: Mr. and Mrs. Herman Brix were visited by many Los Angeles friends during their vacation at El Mirador in Palm Springs. But they still had time to walk the dog [Los Angeles Times, 24 Jan. 1936: A7]
From left to right, Margaret Brandel, Vernette Ripley and Joyce Hodgeman stand while holding a trophy. The women form a semi-circle that is open to camera. All three smile as they hold the large golf tournament trophy between them. The placard on the trophy reads, "PALM SPRINGS [...] GOLF TOURNAMENT 1936 WON BY." A registration table enters frame behind the women at right. Two palm tree trunks rise in the background at center.
