Local historian Richard Thomas working on a new book on the history of the King's Royal Hotel, including the Balmy Beach Dance Pavilion.He's  looking for images, as well as stories.

"If you have a family connection to the hotel, let me know. If you have memories of the Dance Pavilion (I know you're out there), please share your stories with me. If you were at the Louis Armstrong show in 1954, you definitely need to get in touch! Thanks."
