Kiss Me Kate 70th Anniversary Highlighting the EARLY '50s

[Sweetspot]

1948-2018 Seventy years of Kiss Me Kate spanking fun! I've already covered the '60s, '70s and '80s now let's turn the KMK clock way back to look at some of the oldest Kate/Lilli spanking photos found in the newspapers of the early 1950s. I found all of these photos through my own research using several newspaper archives. If you've seen any of these photos, originally used to advertise or publicize a production of Kiss Me Kate, at another site it won't be because I took them off of that site.

Great Falls, Montana March 11, 1951. I just now realized that this is essentially the same scene as two of the photos above but oh well I just can't get enough of Frances McCann [one of the most accomplished Kate's of all time] getting her sweet can clobbered.

More great stuff, Phil! And I observe once again that the vanilla world is absolutely captivated by the spanking scene, as shown by the emphasis placed upon it in these advertisements. I still have one more, from M.D., that no one has ever seen I'll post eventually once I've decided where it should go. Perhaps these threads on this board would be the best place, given how many of them you've found, rather than a page on the main site.
