During years 1934-1936 we lived in Jackson and I was often requested to dance between movies, which were double features back then. I was only 4 and 5 years old and I was the Shirley Temple style dancer. I only have an old letter from them written to my mother with instructions on what to wear, time to be there, etc. It's all so long ago, I realize, but I was wondering if there are any old show billings or news articles from that time where this information may be recorded and/or copies obtained. My name was Nancy Ann Guignet and my parents were Roy and Ethel Guignet.
I believe my father was employed at a company called Hartman's at the time, but I may be wrong. I have many wonderful memories of Jackson from those days. Loved our backyard fenced with wonderful grapevines covering it Off hand, I can't recall the address. however.
It should be on a census for that time, however.

The Regent is the same theater that was originally the Hibbard Opera House and, from 1908 to 1920, the Bijou Theatre. Compare the ground floor arches with the photos of the Bijou. The Theatre Historical Society says that the Regent closed in the late 1940s and was demolished around 1950.
