Scope and content
Tom Breneman's "Breakfast in Hollywood Show" at Tacoma's Roxy (Pantages) Theater on August 20, 1946. Masters of Ceremonies, Al Priddy and Bill Gunning, from KJR Radio giving a prize to a fan. This is possibly Mrs. T.A. Page who won an orchid for being the youngest bride present; she had only been married two weeks. It appears that the theater management sponsored many contests to promote interest in the opening of the new motion picture, including "goofy hat," "oldest mother," and the above "youngest bride." A young man on a mule, both wearing hats, advertised the movie on downtown streets. The popular radio program of the same name had been transferred onto the big screen and attracted a large crowd on opening night. (T.Times, 8-21-46, p. 1) ALBUM 7.
