Scope and content
On November 16, 1939, Bruno Studios sponsored a free dance at the Century Ballroom in Fife. The main draw was the music of Dale Fitzsimmons and his Royalty of Rhythm. The eleven piece orchestra had been entertaining huge crowds at the Century. The number of dancers at the ballroom was up 50 percent. One of the appeals of the orchestra was their four vocalists. Four men were photographed at the microphone in front of a fringed awning, draped stage and orchestra. (T. Times 11/17/1939, pg. 15; TNT 11/156/1939, Ad pg. 4)
