From caption: "Robards, ?, Fred Kermott. Date Nite was a new program started while I was on vacation, done by volunteers of the GSO [Girls' Service Organization] under the direction of Connie [Phillips]. The USO was set up like a niteclub [nightclub]. Tables and chairs, etc. The fellows made reservations, no charge of course. It gave them a chance to have a nice evening of dancing with a date and not have to share her with everyone else. There were floor shows sometimes." ca. 1944. Original photograph size: 4" x 5".
