2nd Tuesday of each month in Poughkeepsie, NY

 

The following was provided by Whit Robinson, Kansas City, whose father, Tweed (in Arizona), had this 10 by 20 inch picture in his collection.  Thanks to Whit for scanning this image in for our group to post on this web site!  The dinner was given by Assembly #4, Philadelphia.

"My father is the big-time magic buff and he has practiced magic since he was a young boy. Al Baker was one of his major influences...

As I was doing some cleaning at the house this week I found a photograph
from October of 1943. The picture is a wide angle shot of an honorary dinner
to Al Baker as Dean of American Magicians at the New Century Club. It
depicts nearly 100 persons including Al sitting down to dinner." - Whit
