Bob Hope with Lael Carr

A photo of Lael Carr with Bob Hope. Robert F. Carr was what our family called a Golf Pro, he played in many tournaments as well as taught Golf in California. All of his children played golf too. This was one of the tournaments that Bob Hope was also playing in. Lael is one of Eloise M. and Robert F. Carr's daughters. I am not sure, but this may have been in Long Beach or Palm Springs, California around 1948 - 49.

My cousin gave me the date range of when she had her photo taken, but I forgot to ask her where, exactly it was taken in California. If any one knows, I would like to add that information to the photo. Thank you.

Date & Place: 1948 at California in California United States

This is Bob Hope's USO unit, and Frances Langford is standing off to the right. But who is at the mic?

Who is the woman at the mic and the man with the guitar?

THANKS!

The woman at the microphone might be dancer Patty Thomas. I have a photograph of Frances Langford and Thomas at a USO show and the woman at the microphone strongly resembles Thomas.

USO - Bob's Big Laugh

The man laughing hard is Bob Hope. I believe the gentleman with the mustache was a trombone player, and I don't know who the others are.

Who are he other people?
