Scope and content
Mrs. John Hreha (LaMoyne Barcott) shares an impish glance with a beaming, dark haired manikin in this studio portrait from November of 1954. Mrs. Hreha came from a well known Tacoma family. Her grandfather, John Barcott, founded Pacific Avenue's California Oyster House. Her father, Anton Barcott and family opened Harbor Lights restaurant on the waterfront, a Tacoma landmark since 1959. LaMoyne Barcott married John Hreha in August of 1952. Both were noted magicians and it is possible that this dummy may have been used in their performances.
