Sound man, George McElwain, at work during the Joaquin Miller broadcast

Description

George McElwain from his right side, sits on a low stool with his left leg resting on a rung of the ladder-back chair in front of him with wires, speakers, and a KPO sound box on it during the Joaquin Miller broadcast. His right hand is turning a knob on the box, his left hand holds a script, and he wears headphones. He looks to his right at the photographer. He also wears a herringbone sports jacket, and striped socks. A young white girl standing behind him smiling with her eyes closed is wearing a matching beret and winter coat and has a should purse over her shoulders. An unidentified white man stand behind her and a floor lamp. A large bundle of wires lies on a low table behind the unidentified man.
