Here is Lou Jacobs offering the rose to Ernestine as she rode on the rosinback around the track. This is essentially the same pose as shown in color on the cover of the 1944 program with the Two Jesters steam calliope in the background. As I mentioned in comments on that cover photo, I now believe it was shot in Sarasota WQ in, say, early March, while the personnel were rehearsing for that special benefit performance of the 1944 show on March 26 at WQ. The calliope would have been there in quarters at the time, though it did not go on the road in 1944. This photo was taken by the late Bob Good on June 11, 1944 in Philadelphia.
