Scope and content
Throngs gather at the new Liberty Center, South 10th Street between "A" and Pacific Avenue during personal appearance by Lana Turner for a rally to stimulate the sale of War Bonds. The center was dedicated on June 13, 1942, with Tacoma Mayor Harry P. Cain as Master of Ceremonies. An army band and army talent performed during the one-hour program. Miss Turner indicated that this was her first extensive personal appearance tour which she was enjoying greatly. Over $120,000 was raised during her brief Tacoma appearance which included visits to the Seattle-Tacoma Shipyards and Fort Lewis. (TNT 6-11-42, p. 1, TNT 6-13-42, p. 1, TNT 6-14-42, p. 1)
