June Caption Contest

All are encouraged to enter captions to a photo in the Archives. The contest winner (as chosen by those sagacious heads at Caption Contest Central) will receive a Fabulous Prize.

Many celebrities visited Riley Hospital for Children. Radio singer Dennis Day, who for years played a dim-witted cast member on the popular Jack Benny Show and was the quintessential "Irish tenor," paid a call in 1951 and signed autographs. What was said? What was sung? You decide! Caption this photo and you may win our Fabulous Prize!

 

Black and white photograph. Inside a hospital ward, a man in a light-colored suit and dark tie stands between two metal hospital beds, smiling enthusiastically at the camera while writing on a notepad. In the beds on either side of him sit two young white girls who appear completely unimpressed by his presence. The girl on the left stares forward with a flat expression, wearing a polka-dot top, while the girl on the right looks slightly away with a neutral gaze. In the background, a crowd of adults, including two men in medical scrubs, watches the scene from behind standing under a white wooden pergola structure.
