“On July 24, 1926, Reginald Denny’s newest comedy "Rolling Home” opened at the Colonial Theater, 916-18 Broadway. A crowd of young people gathered around the theater for the Reginald Denny Day festivities. At the left foreground of the theater was a couple of barrels covered with cloth that sported a sign for Royal Ice Cream and its slogan “It’s the Cream.” Royal Ice Cream Co. was located in Tacoma on Pacific Avenue at 25th. It was a wholesale ice cream, milk and cream company."
