Scope and content
A woman member of western singer and motion picture actor Gene Autry's troupe, likely acrobatic dancer Audrey Haus, displays one of her talents backstage at the College of Puget Sound Fieldhouse on July 15, 1949. The limber dancer is photographed kneeling and gripping the three-inch heels of her ankle strapped shoes. She is wearing black fishnet stockings and a short sequined and fringed garment. Gene Autry had brought his troupe of western stars and radio entertainers to Tacoma for a one-night-only performance on July 15th. A crowd of approximately 5000 enthusiastically enjoyed the variety program although the public address system was criticized in the News Tribune. (TNT 7-16-49, p. 3) ALBUM 8
