Scope and content
Reserve officers from Fort Lewis are pictured marching in parade formation through downtown Tacoma on July 18, 1935. Banners hung above the street send the message "Welcome Fleet" to marchers in the Fleet Week parade. The military parade was one of the largest in the history of the event, with over 4,000 personnel from the Marines, Navy and Army taking part. To the left is John Hamrick's Music Box Theatre at 902-14 Broadway. The Theatre, originally the Broadway Theatre, was known as the Music Box from 1933 til it burned on April 30, 1963. To the right is the Bostwick Block, at 755-71 Saint Helens Ave. (T. Times 7/18/1935, pg. 1- picture) (almost the same image as D781-3)
