Governor Frank Merriam stands at a podium and introduces President Franklin D. Roosevelt before his address in Balboa Stadium. The platform the Governor stands upon is lined by a railing decorated with patriotic bunting and a flag. The flag hangs in front of the lectern. Behind the lectern, Governor Merriam stands at center and looks up. Behind him at left, a few military officers are seated. Seated behind Governor Merriam at right, are, from left to right, President Franklin Roosevelt, Mayor Percy Benbough and Eleanor Roosevelt. American flags and patriotic bunting surround the platform and decorate the stadium's colonnade, which stretches across the background.
