DescriptionWide angle view of a group of men and women seated at round tables in a hall for a banquet or dinner. The tables have silverware, plates with food, and flower arrangements on them. There are also folded cards, probably programs, standing up on the tables. Several windows along one side have curtains and shades. There are fluted pilasters along the wall with electric light fixtures on them. There appears to be a stage at the far end of the room with a piano, desk, and a chalkboard, also a clock and framed pictures hanging on the wall. A man is seated at another piano on the floor near the stage, another man is holding a trumpet on his lap; they are probably part of a small band.
