Shown are some 800 Los Angeles housewives swinging and swaying to Latin tempos at their annual playday staged at Griffith Playground. Down in the front row is a conga line, going strong. In back is a collection of Pan-American flags, for Pan-American solidarity was the theme of the festival. The playday, for which the housewives don shorts and blouses, leave Junior with the neighbors and a can-opener for hubby, is staged by City Playground and Recreation Department. Photo dated: June 18, 1941.
