Astounding Photos of the 1945 Miss America Pageant in AC

OK, Miss America experts, who won the Miss America Pageant in 1945?

Just days after World War Two ended, Bess Myerson was crowned Miss America. Myerson was the first Jewish woman to win the crown.

You'll notice from a few of the photos that the pageant that year was held at Warner Theater in Atlantic City and not Boardwalk Hall. This happened a few years. If you can help us with WHY, please comment and let us know!
