Scope and content
ca. 1926. Local beauty Ethel Haasarud, modelling a marcelled bob hairstyle, posed for photographer Chapin Bowen in 1926. In that same year, she took second place in the disputed Miss Tacoma beauty contest held July 5th. She represented the Pantages Theater in the contest. The Tacoma News Tribune did a feature story on the Lincoln High School graduate in the March 25th, 1931 issue. At that time she was working in the box office at the Pantages. The article mentioned that it was the day after her birthday, but she refused to give the year. (TNT 3/25/1931 p.3)
