Program, Theater
Program sheet for the Latin Quarter theatre restaurant for a vaudeville-style floor show featuring the Bob Strong and His Orchestra, Dorothy Dorben Dancers with Shirley South; Lloyd and Willis, "Exponents of the Dance;" Wilkey and Dare, "That Funny Pair;" Frank and Delores Evers, "Exponents of the Wire;" Gene Baylos, "The Atomic Bomb of Comedy;" and headliner Beatrice Kay, "Star of Stage, Screen, and Radio." The sheet appears to have been intended to have been folded. The program would be on the interior surrounded by a border of illustrations of scantily-clad women. A color illustration of a woman and man touching the tips of their cigarettes, held in their mouths, together above the caption, "So this is Gay Paree... Come on along with me, we're steeping out to see the Latin Quarter," would provide the cover. The back cover portion is printed with a space for an address and a message so that patrons could have the restaurant mail it to their friends. In the instructions for the message area, "Lou Walters Latin Quarter" has been printed over in black, and replaced with "Detroit's Latin Quarter."
