They provide details about Paul Weber performing at the Sapphire Room in the Wardell Sheraton Hotel in Detroit, MI in 1945. The clipping dated October 25th tells of a birthday surprise for Weber that was planned by Ruby Weber (Weston). Two of the clippings were from the Detroit Free Press column "After Dark" on October 26 and November 23, 1945. Both again describe performances by Paul Weber at the Sapphire Room.
