The Way We Were - Chicago 1942

Taken at the 5100 Club on April 8, 1942. The headline act that evening was Danny Thomas. His autograph is on the folder that holds this picture. The nightspot was at 5100 N. Broadway in the Uptown area of Chicago. The club was popular with people staying at the Edgewater Beach Hotel, which was located a few blocks away. My mother-in-law is the second from right, holding the hand of her cousin who was in Chicago visiting from New York City.
