THE WAR YEARS (1942- 1945): "THE GOLDEN AGE OF PHILIPPINE THEATER"/ NOVEMBER 7, 14, 21 AND 28, 1942

Almost all the major movie theaters had their regular revue companies, but the big name stars like Rogelio de la Rosa, Gregorio Ticman, Rosa Aguirre, and Leopoldo Salcedo were appearing in the big theaters. Perhaps Lou Salvador's group was the biggest of them all, appearing at one time or other in three different theaters---  the Dalisay, Strand, and the Palace. Thus the stage entertainment groups mushroomed one after another and all of them enjoyed capacity audiences since there was no rival entertainment.
