From the collection of my friend and Sacramento historian, William Burg.
My favorite part: the couple dancing in the background!
From Billboard magazine, October 9, 1943, page 21: "Soldiers Bring Prosperity to Sacramento Spots; Acts Profit": "Sacramento, Oct 2 -- With soldiers from three neighboring fields -- Camp Kohler, McClellan, and Mather Field -- virtually taking the town over after dark, Sacramento night spots are flourishing and multiplying.... Tropics upstairs night spot, which opened the first of the year has ... augmented the orchestra. Gabriel Silveira leads a five-piece combo. Spot is owned by Yubi Separovich and Frank Radich."
