Scene at luau party hosted by Frances Langford and Jon Hall at their Westwood home in honor of the marriage between actors Jackie Coogan and Betty Grable. Coogan and Grable married in 1937, they divorced in 1939.
Caption on back of photograph reads "Jackie Coogan proves that he had a steady hand and a steady eye by filling Shirley Ross' water glass from more than the usual pouring distance; while his wife Betty Grable looks on at the Jon Hall-Frances Langford Luau; with everything done in the traditionally Hawaiian style, with the tables set so low that it was necessary to sit on the floor."
Several people dressed in Hawaiian style clothing mingle at the Outrigger Resort. Ralph Evinrude stands near the center, Zola Swarthout to the left of Evinrude and Frances Langford is on his right.
According to the Stuart News (17 Mar 1960), Ralph Evinrude and Frances Langford hosted a luau party at their Jensen Beach estate to celebrate the birthday of one of their Friends, Peggy Taylor Dahlberg of Palm Beach. The party included several Hollywood stars of the day, including actress and talk show host, Faye Emerson.
