media:2098 has no field_clip_date of its own. External: afterthefinalcurtain.net's Prospect Theatre history page states 'Vaudeville returned to the Prospect Theatre on July 16, 1932' and names the same opening-night acts as this clipping (Cherry Blossom and June, the Radio Rogues, Bud and Jack Pearson) plus 'patrons writing the theater' to request the policy's return, matching the clipping's own account nearly verbatim. 'The Tenderfoot' (Joe E. Brown/Ginger Rogers, Warner Bros.) was released 1932-05-23, consistent with a July playdate.
