Thank you, Warren! You have been extremely helpful. Yes, the on line NY Times review doesn’t mention the Dorsey stage show. At my age, the mind plays funny tricks but I do seem to remember June Allyson playing a pregnant cello player in the movie “Music For Millions”.

Thanks for the response. I just found some old family records that positively set the date to January 1945. So now to find more info on the movie and the Tommy Dorsey Stage show. Maybe the NY Times!

Thanks for the response. I’m trying to recall a memory from my childhood:>) I am most interested in the number of times that they were booked during the year. I was 11 and stayed for at least two shows! I don’t recall the movie or the exact time of year. Buddy Rich was still with him and I understand that he left toward the end of 1945. There is a message above that indicates that Tommy and Jimmy both were there after Thanksgiving, Tommy, around Christmas. I don’t think I was there at Christmas time.

I attended a Tommy Dorsey stage show at the Capitol in NYC in 1945. Does anyone have information on the number of times that Dorsey appeared in 1945?
