Scope and content
Bill Conner, of the Music Box Theater, accepts a can of green beans from Leonard South while Dorothy South and Nonie Ontai (far right) wait to make their contributions to the Salvation Army food drive. The Music Box Theater, 902-14 Broadway, had a special "canned goods" matinee at 11:15 on Saturday, December 21, 1940. Children who brought one or more cans of food to donate to the Salvation Army received free admission to the double feature showing that day. Looking on are Virginia Bucklin, an usherette at the theater and Major Earl Williams of the Salvation Army. (T. Times 12/18/1940 p.3)
