Publicity for Community Chest. Among the entertainers at the September 4, 1942, dedication of the new U.S.O. for servicemen of color on Commerce St. was a USA private from New Orleans, George F. Miller. His barefoot style of dancing and upbeat attitude brought large smiles on the faces of his standing room only audience. Seated in a chair on the stage is Pvt. Miller, bare feet lifted high and index fingers pointed as he faces the large crowd. (TNT 9-6-42, A-12)
