The trains carried Japanese, German, Italian immigrants and their American-born children. The only family internment camp during World War II, Crystal City was the center of a government prisoner exchange program called "quiet passage" During the course of the war, hundreds of prisoners in Crystal City, including their American-born children, were exchanged for other more important American diplomats, businessmen, soldiers, physicians, and missionaries behind enemy lines in Japan and Germany.Focusing her story on two American-born teenage girls who were interned, author Jan Jarboe Russell uncovers the details of their years spent in the camp; the struggles of their fathers; their families subsequent journeys to war-devastated Germany and Japan; and their years-long attempt to survive and return to the United States, transformed from incarcerated enemies to American loyalists. Their stories of day-to-day life at the camp, from the ten-foot high security fence to the armed guards, daily roll call, and censored mail, have never been told.Combining big-picture World War II history with a little-known event in American history that has long been kept quiet, The Train to Crystal City reveals the war-time hysteria against the Japanese and Germans in America, the secrets of FDR's tactics to rescue high-profile POWs in Germany and Japan, and how the definition of American citizenship changed under the pressure of war.

Stapled wraps. Zustand: Near Fine. [minor wear to extremities, small white smudge on rear cover]. (B&W photographs, one cartoon drawing) 20-page souvenir program booklet for the popular Hollywood revue, "A Screamline Variety Laff Riot," produced, staged, directed and emcee'd by Murray at the El Capitan Theatre on Hollywood Blvd. from 1942 through 1949. Purportedly the longest-running variety revue in the history of American theatre, it was basically a ramped-up vaudeville bill, featuring singers, dancers, comedians, acrobats, and one notable animal act: Daisy the Wonder Dog, pictured on the front cover along with Murray and the real star of the show, scatterbrained comedienne/actress/model Marie Wilson. Wilson is prominently pictured on both the front and rear covers of this program, and gets a page to herself inside (as do Murray himself and "Renfro and Daisy"). The roster of performers in this iteration of the show ("Subject to Change Without Notice"), apart from Wilson, ranges from the forgotten to the obscure (although film buffs will readily recognize actor Jack Mulhall, then past his prime as a movie leading man but still working steadily in small roles and uncredited bits). A few examples: Grace Poggi & Igor (a dance team); Tip, Tap & Toe (an African-American dancing trio); the Hollywood Elderlovelies (a group of seven ladies -- singers, I guess -- who appear from their photo to be in their 50s or 60s); and, most importantly, the acrobatic duo of (Frank) Park & (Bob) Clifford. Why "most importantly"? Because both Park & Clifford have autographed this program, on their featured page, with brief generic inscriptions ("Sincerely") to its one-time owner. (Laugh if you must, but I defy you to find another Park & Clifford-autographed anything.) The peforming dog Daisy, by the way, was the very same dog who was featured in several of the "Blondie" movies of the late 1930s, although the Blackouts was purportedly "the first time [she] has ever been on the stage." And speaking of "Blondie," the last page of the program features a cartoon drawing by Chic Young, depicting Blondie and Dagwood proudly presenting "our little Daisy in person Signed by Associated.

In part: "My paper is concerned with the ransom of $200,000 which Jubal Early levied upon Frederick on July 9, 1864. I have developed the theme that his delay in connection with collecting the ransom plus General Wallace's keen perception of Early's intended attempt to capture Washington, etc., were responsible for his failure to enter Washington which was practically defenseless."

The recipient, Jean Dalrymple (1902-1998) was the dynamic producer and director of theater and light-opera at Manhattan's City Center. Dalrymple began her career in Vaudeville, appearing with James Cagney and Carey Grant in the early 1930s. She was a founding member of the American Theatre Wing, the theatre service organization. She worked over the years as a personal manager for the likes of Leopold Stokowski, Mary Martin, Jos Iturbi, Andre Kostalanetz, Nathan Milstein, and Lily Pons. She began her work at City Center with its founding in 1943, serving as a board member and publicist. Her productions there from the 1940s through the 1960s were a revitalizing influence on the whole New York theatre scene. In 1951, Jean Dalrymple married Major-General Philip deWitt Ginder, commander of the Thunderbirds in Korea. She was a friend to Presidents and entertainment personalities throughout the world.
