Mike,
I was browsing through some old Las Vegas magazines, including this one from November 1, 1951. One of the things that's cool about this magazine is its original owner...Mrs. Wilbur Clark .

Anyway, this caught my attention "OUR COVER--(One of the Press Club's publicity releases) Frances LeMaire isn't the only one who felt the searing heat of this years Branding Iron. Las Vegas' own Chubby Johnson, featured movie player, is the fellow holding the iron."

Thought you'd like to see it!
