Zoot Suit Swing Night at the Trianon Draws Defense Workers
Henry McLemore describes a jitterbug night at the Trianon where a new wave of defense plant workers, both men and women, dressed in grey striped zoot outfits or defense drapes, danced through the night. The piece captures wartime youth, music by Bob Crosby, and the blending of work and leisure amid national effort.
