On February 27, 1947, the Rialto Theatre played host to Tacoma twins at a special party in honor of the opening of "The Dark Mirror," starring Olivia de Havilland and Lew Ayers. Any area twins over the age of 16 were invited and 106 (53 sets) attended. The youngest, Deloris and Doris Johnston at 17, and oldest, Mrs. Helen Barth and Mrs. Lillian Hibbard at 60, were photographed in front of the theater. The movie was about two identical twins, both played by Olivia de Havilland, who fall in love with the same man; the twist being that one is a psychotic murderess. (T.Times 2/28/1947, pg. 14)
