Yesterday, I received in the mail a remarkable item I had won on eBay. It was a vintage photograph - measuring 29" wide by 10" tall - of a group of United States Coast Guard standing outside of a theater where A Girl in Every Port was showing in 1928. The marquee above the uniformed members of the Coast Guard reads:
Victor McLaglen and Star Cast in "A Girl in Every Port"
"Semper Paratus" with U.S. Coast Guard and Fox Ensemble of 125
Prologue - Richard Singer & Concert Orchestra - Charles Althoff
"Semper Paratus" with U.S. Coast Guard and Fox Ensemble of 125
Prologue - Richard Singer & Concert Orchestra - Charles Althoff
The film is being shown at a Fox theater. I am not sure in which (likely) East Coast city this photograph was taken. Might anyone hazard a guess? Follow the link above to see scans of this oversized image.
