A PICTORIAL REPORT ON THE WARNER PILGRIMAGE TO RENO AND “VIRGINIA CITY”
Warners held their super “Virginia City” premiere March 16, and pictured here are some of the stars enjoying themselves for the delectation of Nevada fans. Among them, the keen-eyed observer will recognize Errol Flynn, Rosemary Lane, Alan Hale, Jane Wyman, Ronald Reagan, Wayne Morris, Gilbert Roland, May Robson, Guy Kibbee, Patricia Ellis, Ken Murray, Jeffrey Lynn, Binnie Barnes, Mary Astor, Humphrey Bogart, Lillian Bond, Joan Day, Hobart Bosworth, Frances Robinson, Martha Brown, Bill Boyd, Carol Grant, Mayo Methot, June Storey and Patricia Lane. In the top left picture, the Hollywood contingent lines up on the stage of the Majestic, Reno. Ken Murray is the M. C. Center and bottom left show the general festive spirit
prevalent. Top right shows another star group on display in front of the Reno Wigwam, just before the start of the premiere showing. In the center right photo, Errol Flynn obligingly smiles for the cameraman (note that he has changed his costume since his first appearance — top left). Bottom right, in wagons vaguely resembling tumbrils, a merry group takes a ride through the streets. All in all, it was a gay day both for the stars and for the Virginia City and Reno fans, ending up with the first public glimpse of the Warner special, “Vix-ginia City,” with Flynn and Miriam Hopkins. Then the stars went home to Hollywood, there to work and remember their trip and lead their normal lives and rest — until the next gala premiere.
