Photograph at Annual meeting of the Los Angeles Bar Association at University Club. Joe Crider, Jr. [standing] was installed as President and Edward D. Lyman as Senior Vice President. Former president, Robert P. Jennings officiated as Chairman in the absence of retiring president Will H. Anderson. Author Rupert Hughes was the principal speaker.
Author Rupert Hughes, known for his works on George Washington, is welcomed back to Los Angeles from a trip to Washington D.C. by an actor, Emil Sorensen, dressed as the first President of the United States, who proceeded to tell him "in blunt language just what he thought of his remarks at the capital dinner." The act was organized by the Writer's Club of Hollywood of which Hughes was president at the time. Hughes went on to write three volumes about the life of George Washington, with a fourth never completed. An unidentified woman, with back to camera, speaks with both of them.
