Rock 'n Roll Revue at the Strand Theatre


I'm not quite sure what to make of this show. It appears to be a local group. The All Stars Rock 'n Roll Revue with Bernice Yedlock, Bill Brown, Richard Barry, and Ange Stella, WICK's Ed Hughes was the MC. This was at the Strand Theatre on Spruce Street in Downtown Scranton on Friday and Saturday,March 22-23, 1957. I'm not sure if the Jack Barry reference is the famous game show host, or a local TV personality. This group also appeared at the Paramount Theatre in Wilkes-Barre and at Wilkes College that same spring.

I've added a couple more of these shows to the other site: http://remnantsofthepast.piczo.com/?g=1&cr=5
