Photograph appears in a feature story titled "Orson Welles on Latin America", appearing on pages 16–17. Welles had just returned from South America, and was interviewed while rehearsing for a War Bond drive broadcast presented in cooperation with the U.S. Department of the Treasury. He emceed the first two hours of the seven-hour coast-to-coast broadcast; Carl Sandburg was among the cast. (See Orson Welles radio credits for 1942 for more information.)

A photograph appearing above this image shows Welles with the story's author, Chan Norris; the caption reads, "Here Orson Welles is performing one of his card tricks for me..."

This image is captioned as follows:

...AND HERE HE IS DOING IT FOR CARL SANDBURG, who appeared in the same radio show as Welles. Half the fun of Welles's card tricks is the patter that goes with them—not just requests like "Take a card" but unusual ones like "Give me the name of a girl you're trying to forget." Sandburg evaded that one. Welles says he found his card tricks a social asset in Latin America. He began doing them a year and a half ago and he's made up a few of his own. He invented one in Rio that takes 52 decks of cards. A Rio store, not having that many in stock, ordered them. By the time they arrived, though, Welles had left. When the decks catch up with him, he'll see whether or not the trick works.
