Could someone please tell me the name and maker of the dishes handed out on “dish night” in the 1940’s/50’s. My family all grew up in St. Louis and that was an every Saturday night thing for them. I am trying to find the name so I may be able to start a collection of them. Thank you for any information.

Where the theatre itself sat is now a multi-story apartment building.
Here is an older photo of the Melba. It appears to be from the 1930s.
This is a 1950s photo of the Melba Theater.
Years of operation were 1917 to 1960.
The architect was R. A. Matthews.
The correct address for the Melba Theatre is 3608 South Grand Ave. St. Louis, Mo. 63118
The Melba and most of the theatres that bore that name were named after the very popular singer of the ealy 1900’s, Nellie Melba.
She is also famous for the other 2 things named after her, Melba Toast and Peachm Melba.
