One black and white photograph collage of performers who are shown on stage in front of microphones and banners that read "WJZ" and "WNEW." The performers appear to include singers, instrumentalists, dancers, and comedians. In the bottom-left photograph, Larry Marino (left) and Toby David (right) stand around the WJZ microphone. David wears a large scarf and hat and speaks while Marino watches him. A typewritten note attached to the verso reads, "The above montage, the work of the air base photo section, pictures the performers of the WJZ Victory Troupe as they presented their show at the opening of the new Air Base Theatre last Saturday evening. The variety show which was the feature of the grand opening was broadcast over station WNEW. The theatre was accepted on behalf of the base by the Commanding Officer, Colonel William H. Garrison, after presentation by Captain Leslie A. Guest, Base Utilities Officer. (Official AAF Photos by Sgt I. Kaplowitz and Pvt. H. Hart.)"
