Note the ad in the very last panel: The Harry James Orchestra, Vilma and Buddy Ebsen dancing, Hattie McDaniel from "Gone with the Wind." I assume that McDaniel sang with the orchestra.

Buddy and Vilma Ebsen in “Broadway Melody of 1936.”

Great post. Thanks for all of your “history” posts, Homer. I glanced at all 22 pages including the baseball box scores a couple of hours ago.

(I went out to get pizza and meant to thank you after dinner.)

Probably the most famous Churchill speech!

Now I can’t decide whether to eat at Shrafft’s with their great A/C or at Child’s with their 35 cent luncheons!
