Program for the annual New Year's variety show at San Quentin, offering everything from the acrobat trio Sing Lee Sing and "whip crackers" Buck and Chickie to actress Toy Yat Mar, The Skating Millers, and 3-year-old singing sensation Lyndell Sandeen. Numerous San Francisco clubs provided entertainment, as well -- Sinaloa Cafe, Bimbo's 365 Club, President Theatre, and Charlie Low's Forbidden City -- and Hitch King served as the Master of Ceremonies. In addition to the list of performers, the program includes an introduction by warden Clinton T.
