Supported by several members of the Roxy Theater U.S.O. Revue and a full Army band, on Friday July 10, 1942 nineteen year old Linda Darnell helped sell war bonds at Tacoma's Victory Square located on South 10th Street between Pacific Avenue and "A". The young Hollywood star promised an autograph for every bond application and a kiss for the person making the biggest purchase. Standing to the left of Miss Darnell is Pierce County War Bond drive chairman Leon Titus. The 20th Century Fox star was on her second volunteer entertainment tour of army camps and naval stations.
