“The Happiest Millionaire” Premiere – 1967
“I had these pictures from an outing of the Band to help kick off the premier showing of The Happiest Millionaire in Philadelphia.
The movie starred Fred MacMurry and [the premiere] was held at the Boyd Theater located at 1908 Chestnut Street on October 20,1967.
Fred was known to be a sax player and the picture is of him holding my sax. I thought it was a great picture of the Duke.
As a comment, we have so much to be thankful for because of the talents of Mr. Jesse E. Hartman who took all these shots and many many others.
I don’t know if he was on retainer by the school, but Jesse was a professional photographer from Havertown, PA who always was on location at the many Forge events.
Hope you enjoy!
Band Sir!
