Craig & Alexis, Bob & Dolores, Bob & Betty and Loretta

It is November, 1947, and a group of entertainers are departing New York for London, for a royal command performance.  Of course, we need to capture this momentous event on camera.  Five of the party are smiling/laughing.  Betty is trying to smile, but not making it.  She's probably upset she did not get the memo re the ladies wearing mink stoles.

Now, Bob is having a really big laugh ... slightly bent over, his mouth open wide. 

Wish I were in on the joke.
