MAD Festival, Unknown Dates. These five black and white contact print strips were created for the Lacey Leader newspaper. These images were created with two separate film rolls, so some of the physical numbers on the strips are repeated. For the purposes of this description, these strips will be grouped according to the film roll from which they originally came. Each group will be assigned a lower-case letter (ex: 1a, 2a, 3a, 1b, 2b, 3b, etc.) to go along with the physical numbers on the strips.
The images in group "a" show performances and scenes from the Miss Thurston County pageant. Image 33a shows two men in suits standing next to each other. The man on the left is speaking into a microphone. This man on the left may be Dick Pust. Image 34a shows one girl in a fringed dance outfit about to jump over a girl crouching down on the ground. Image 35a shows ten young women in matching dresses performing a dance routine. These women are Miss Thurston County contestants. Johnny Lewis's band is playing on the stage behind the women. Image 36a is effectively identical to the previous image. Image 37a shows a young women in a long dress and tiara singing into a microphone. Image 38a shows the young woman from the previous image holding a bouquet and waving at the camera. Image 39a shows the ten pageant contestants wearing different dresses and standing in a line. Image 40a shows six of the contestants standing in a line. The two men in suits are visible near the left-hand edge of the image. Image 41a shows approximately six of the contestants standing together. This image is very underdeveloped, so it is difficult to make it out. Image 42a shows approximately six of the contestants standing together. A contestant at the center is wearing a tiara and holding a flower bouquet. Image 43a appears to be very similar to the previous image, but this image is very underdeveloped. Image 44a shows one of the contestants wearing a tiara and holding a bouquet. She is waving in the general direction of the camera. Images 1a through 5a show all of the contestants standing together.
The images in group "b" show Johnny Lewis's band performing and two men separately speaking into a microphone. Image 11b shows Johnny Lewis at right playing saxophone. A man on the left-hand side of the image is playing drums. Image 12b is blank. Image 13b shows the drummer playing. Image 14b shows a man holding a microphone up to is face and appearing to either shake a person in the crowd's hand or hand something to them. Image 1b is effectively blank. Image 2b shows a man reading from a card into a microphone. Image 3b is effectively identical to the previous image.Made/Created
