A horizontal black-and-white photograph depicts two light-skinned men in collared shirts, one wearing a tie, talking to each other in front of a sign that fills the composition. Large lettering with musical staves drawn through it reads “STOLEN HARMONY.” Above this, two names “GEORGE RAFT and BEN BERNIE” are highlighted in larger letters next to additional names in smaller letters: “Grace Bradley, Iris Adrian, Goodee Montgomery, Lloyd Nolan, Ralf Harolde.”
