Photograph of (L to R) Hedda Hopper, Dorothy Chandler, Clara Schofield and Peggy Hamilton at an event of the 7th annual meeting of the American Newspaper Publishers' Association. The event was for the wives and daughters of the delegates who were guests at a dinner and entertainment which included a fashion show at the Cafe de Paris in Fox Movietone City hosted by Dorothy Chandler. Clara Schofield was one of the honor guests and Hamilton directed the fashion show. The fashion show featured gowns for movies designed by Max Ree of R.-K.-O. studios and Adrian of M.-G.-M. studios. The event was also attended by film actresses, including Hedda Hopper. Hamilton is wearing a form-fitting gown made of daybreak chiffon velvet with a flaring train trimmed with sable designed by Dolly Tree of Fox Studios. On the left shoulder is a spray of French hand-made gold thread flowers. The imported gloves have a narrow insert of gold kid.
