The marquee on the Wilma would indicate that the picture was taken in early June of 1945. Based on the visible words "the spirit" "k Oakie", and "...To Tokyo" the movies were "That's the Spirit" and "On to Tokyo". "That's the Spirit" starred Jack Oakie as a vaudeville performer that returns from the dead to help his wife and daughter, who are being dominated by a greedy banker, and its release date was June 1, 1945. "On to Tokyo" was a propagandistic short documentary film designed to enlighten wartime America about the prospects for the conclusion of the war against Japan and was released a day earlier, May 31, 1945.
