Photograph article dated December 22, 1962 partially reads, "The Act, ready or not, opens this Monday and runs for four weeks in Wilbur Clark's sumptuous play-pen. Five of the ball players in it are certain to still be Dodgers when it closes - Willie Davis, Don Drysdale, Maury Wills, Frank Howard and Sandy Koufax. The sixth is Duke Snider, who might go to 'Vegas a Dodger and come home a Met, which would constitute an all-time record for losing, even in Nevada." Photograph caption reads, "Berle calls musician Maury Wills 'safe' as Dodgers sharpen act for 'Vegas. Don Drysdale, Wille Davis, Sandy Koufax, Duke Snider (left to right) agree with decision."
