Siamese Twins!

This is the last full page in Dad's scrapbook. The photos seem to be unrelated.

A picture of Dad reading a magazine. Perhaps he is doing research on local entertainment.

And what was the local entertainment scene like?
Text of the poster:
"THE QUEEN OF THE 'TORSO-TWISTERS'
BABY DUMPLIN'
AND HER BIG REVUE
'RARIN' TO GO'
WITH
BENNY 'WOP' MOORE
BILLY WALLACE ~ TED BLAIR
ARLENE MOODY ~ PEGGY BOND
ZEB & MANDY HILLBILLY NOVELTY

Special ATTRACTION!
THE WORLD FAMOUS
SIAMESE TWINS
DAISY & VIOLET HILTON
THE SENSATION OF THE YEAR!"

I'm thinking that the operative word in that poster is sensation, and I'm sure that sailors in attendance were hoping to experience a few of them.

After the show, Dad came home to his desk and bathing beauty poster.

A picture of Francis N. Duffey outdoors.

Ross

This is the only redacted picture in the scrapbook. It is not Dad! On the back it says, "Ross." There were two V-5's with the last name of Ross, Charles Ross and Bob Ross. I have the unredacted photo under lock and key in a safe in a Funk and Wagnall's Dictionary under the letter V. If you want it, let me know! Please note the presence of the palm tree in the corner. Unless that is a picture or decoration of some sort, I'm not seeing this as a picture taken in Kansas.

The picture of this pensive sailor seems to be better placed with the previous page of thoughtful pictures. However, given the nature of the content of this page, perhaps it is apropos to take his lead and ponder just what went on in Kansas!
