Scope and content
Brad Bannon in formal evening dress with conductor's baton poses at the Music Box Theater. Mr. Bannon was the leader of his own popular local dance band, the Brad Bannon Orchestra. The eleven piece orchestra would be opening the newly decorated and remodeled Century Ballroom in Fife on December 28, 1940. As dance music sank from popularity, Mr. Bannon became a successful insurance broker. (T. Times 12/27/1940, pg. 4)
