REGULARS LAUGH AT BILLY
LICTfTELLE'S VAUDEVILLE
Acrobat, Ventriloquist, Hula Hula Dancer
Sob Producer, Blackface Comedian Y
and Singers Galore.

1t was certainly a treat for those
regulars in the list Infantry and the
18th Infantry to listen to Billy
Lightelles vaudeville troup Friday
night in the main "Y" auditorium.
Fighting "greasers" down in Mex
leo and lying around Army posts wait
ing "for something to happen" Is not
conducive to the organization Of en-.
tertainments, so when fiashy Keith
or Orpheum star darted across the ~"
stage and his scintillationS bounded
back and forth these old timers Of
the khaki simply went wild with glee.
Thought They Were Tenderfeet.
The older soldiers had suspected
feet" that they lacked the pep" 90
essential in the making Of a soldier,
but they admitted their error before
the show had gone very far and de-
clared gladly:
These boys will make the regi-
ment."
1t is just such fellows as Lightelle
and his crew that Gen. Pershing is
assigning regularly In France for
work behind the lines with the "Y."
Men in a division we'll supplied with
talent are sent all along the line in
camions, regardless Of the sector. The
Meade boys have such work in store
for themselves.
Ben Plat filled the position of an
nouncer with eclat. That is a French
term that means something like pep"
Well, whatever it means, Plat had it.
He hit the right note and the bows
looked for something clever every
time he said his little spiel" And
they got 1t. too. Don't you forget
that.
