The govern 1 ment has approved and is behind the plan to provide theatrical entertain 1 ment in the 22 army cantonments and camps, and has built theaters within the encampments.

Four comedy companies are already assigned to the field. These are presenting the broadway suc- cesses. Turn to the Right" Cheating Cheaters," Here Comes the Bride, y 'Inside the Lines" Many soldiers will not have the money to pay even the small admission fee. Hence the "Smilease" ticket campaign. The cou- pons will come in books selling for S1 and $5, and are called "Smileage' books, because they are like mileage books on railroads, and will mean a span of smiles for the recipient. The purchaser may send the book to any soldier in any camp.
