A color poster from 1942 advertises *Rhythm Parade*, a show that brought together Nils Thor Granlund, the New York radio personality and nightclub promoter known as NTG, and Gale Storm, a young singer and actress who was just starting her career. Wartime posters like this one were built to pull crowds with bold lettering and the names of performers who drew audiences on the radio and in clubs. Storm later became a television star in the 1950s, so this early billing is a useful glimpse of her before she became a household name.
