That Yumpu-stomped image is fron the Nov. 2, 1957 issue of Boxoffice, which is in the public domain. The original caption:

Here is the front display arranged by Manager Ray Vassler of the James Theatre in Newport News, Va., for “Jet Pilot.” Of course, Vassley got the cooperation of the nearby Langley Air Force base, and he used it imaginatively. He and two air base tech sergeants put on a stage show, “Talent in Blue,” with boys from the base, on opening night. To cap this, Vassler added seven beautiful girl contestants for Queen Loreli VIII, to reign at the New Port News Lions Club annual Seafood Festival.
