Ted Malone sits with his back to the wall at the head of a 'U' shaped banquet table filled with white men and women seated alternately. Ted Malone is in far background talking to woman in the center back of the photograph. Cocktail glasses on small plates sit in front of each guest as well as six pieces of silverware, a place card, and a napkin. Two candles in wine bottles and a garland of flowers and greenery cascades down the center of the table. The walls are knotty pine paneling. The women wear leis of flowers and greenery.
No date; likely 1940s

Handwritten on back possibly says, "Have mailed one like this to Ruth Carroll Darile 2618 Durant Ave., Berkeley and the one with Mrs. Margaret Rush there in to her at 707 N.W. 19th Ave., Portland Oregon. Please do not trouble to acknowledge receipt of these three prints \u2013 because I know how very, very busy you are so many demands upon your time, my dear papa's life was that way also. It was good of you to come here. Hope you have recovered from being almost smothered by Pret's good wishes, garlands and kisses: you are a good & clever Love, T. M."
