DescriptionA group of men are at a dinner, standing and seated at tables covered with white table cloths. The men are wearing suits, shirts, and neckties. Some of the men are wearing eyeglasses. Some wear carnations on their lapels. Flower arrangements, cups and saucers, cream pitchers and sugar bowls, napkins, ashtrays, books, and boxes are on the tables. Some men ate smiling. One man speaks into a microphone. A loudspeaker system is in the corners of the room, connected by wires. Electric lights hang from the ceiling.
