Richard,
Here's another one I just found for December 25th, 1939:
Hotel Statler, Cleveland, Ohio, December 25, 1939
Annual dance of the Ching Tang Club
Harry James and his Orchestra w/ Frank Sinatra
Emacs!
Scott
Thanks for finding the proof Scott.
The one flaw of newspapers.com searching is there are some big cities like Denver which have no papers listed.
