This was the biggest gala of its type since “GWTW” in Atlanta the previous year. To meet the demand for seats, the State Lake supplemented the Chicago on opening night only. The next day, “North West Mounted Police” began its run at the Chicago Theatre exclusively, with stage show topped by Betty Grable and Ken Murray.
Here is the 2015 link with 14 more photos from that night.
