Scope and content
Celebrities in town for the grand opening of the Tacoma Mall Theater pose with courtesy car from Russ Dunmire Oldsmobile at the Lakewood Colonial Center. Actor John Russell, TV's "Lawman," is at right. Mr. Russell, as well as fellow actors Arthur O'Connell, Troy Donahue and Tippi Hedren, was staying at the Lakewood Motor Inn nearby. They, and other stars, would be motoring to Tacoma for the opening of the new 1200 seat theater later that evening. The 8 o'clock showing of "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" was completely sold out; the Hollywood stars would only be appearing on stage at that time. There were apparently tickets available for the later 11 o'clock viewing. (TNT 5-16-68, C-6) ALBUM 5.
