Scope and content
On November 16, 1939, Bruno Studios (photographers) sponsored a free dance and social event at the Century Ballroom in Fife. The main draw was the musical stylings of Dale Fitzsimmons and his eleven piece orchestra, the Royalty of Rhythm. The band was a big draw at the Century and had doubled the ballroom's regular attendance. The orchestra had four vocalists, including "Bub" Scott (second from left), the tenor crooner.
