Scope and content
Bob Hope Show at Stadium Bowl. An estimated 7,500-8,000 fans attended Bob Hope's show. The show featured Skinnay Ennis and his band and a bevy of Hollywood starlets, comedians, and singers. This event was sponsored by the Tacoma Young Men's Business Club to raise funds for the Greater Tacoma Jubilee to be held later in June. Although the crowd was smaller than expected, it did not deter the Hope troupe from putting on a tremendous show. Local singer Mickey McDougall, winner of a pre-program vocal contest, was the beneficiary of an enthusiastic audience. Mr. Hope himself slipped into the audience and sat behind two GIs to listen to the Tacoma songstress. (TNT 6-8-46, p. 1)
