The Big Band Era At Sylvan Beach Recalled In Baytown
The Baytown Sun recalls Sylvan Beach memories with Erna Beth Foxworth and her book The Romance of Old Sylvan Beach A Hundred Years of Amusement and Nostalgia. Foxworth notes the June 1935 wedding at the Arcadia Theater stage and Bobby Foxworth later hosting a reception at the Houston Yacht Club. Winds and war ended the era, with Hurricane of 1943 and wartime shortages halting reconstruction.
