VIEW A VIDEO FROM 1937 WITH LOUIS ARMSTRONG

It was 1937. After their family orchestra had performed with the lodge convention and choir in Olympia, Linnea was invited to Eureka. She took her vacation from her job as a secretery in August and traveled on the train to San Francisco. She saw the new Golden Gate Bridge that opened in June. On a postcard she told the family she saw Artists and Models at the Fabulous Fox Theater in San Francisco. That it was good and her mother should go to see it. Artists and Models includes a song from Louis Armstrong (which was edited out for Southern theaters.)
