From "Miller, Ann Actress Is Mrs. Reese L. Milner" folder. From caption on front of photograph: "Hollywood, Mar. 11 - Soldiers Prefer Her Kind of 'Taps' - When it comes to thinking up titles, soldiers at Camp Haan, Calif., rate it with the best of them. They've chosen Ann Miller, film dancer, as 'the girl whose taps we'd most like to be lulled to sleep by.' Here she matches 'Taps' with Pvt. Al Harvey, Camp Haan bugler. (AP Wirephoto)" Photograph of Ann Miller and an Army bugler, Al Harvey. Harvey is dressed in uniform and is blowing his bugle as he kneels. Miller wears a short dress, high heels, a long cape and a military hat as she salutes Harvey.
