In this black and white photograph shows Ronald Reagan standing at the center, glancing to the left side of the photograph and smiling.

One is looking at Reagan while the other is looking straight. To the left is another man who wears a suit as well, glasses, and looks straight ahead. The four men stand in a room which is reminiscent of a theater due to the curtains hanging from the ceiling.

The top of the photograph is slightly damaged as seen by the white in the top left hand corner. There is also a blue mark at the top center of the photograph along the middle curtain.
