MARY YOUNG REAL HEROINE
 UNDER FIRE

Where is your home Miss Young?" A reporter fired this sort of a foolish Interviewing Mary Young, co-star in We Girls,' at the Park theatre this week. The reporter always hopes to find somebody from ''back home, suits. As rule. however, these stage folk say Paris. or London, or Baden-Baden, or Peoria Or something, so it was pleasant to hear someone
 And again it was nice to have some body tQ interview with a common garden variety name like Young, which isn't her name at all really, because John Craig is playing an en- gagement at the Garrick theatre, New York city, and he happens to be the husband of Miss Young, who was last in Bridgeport just before the war with Walker Whiteside in MT Jubilee Drac," and who is the heroine of this story.
 Heroine That is just what she is, for Miss Young had more war eXper1- ences and was more often under fire than many of these fellows who haunt ex-service mems clubs and who never have gotten oyer being in the army.
 Very early in the 'festivities'' Miss
 Young went to the other side and covered all of the area near the front lines, with a company of players at first composed of Wilfred Young, Ivy Troutman, Charles Darrah and Gra- ham Velse, together with others, for her bomb sheM stock company contin- ually changed, although none of them were ever on the casualty lists.
 Baby Mine,'' when comedy was urgently needed, was the most sue cessfuI uI-tonic, and when the occasion demanded a version of Joan D'Arc' was presented, the latter being given 8 unique and ever to be rem mbered setting in one instance at Domremy, where Joan first saw the vision that formed her inspiration to accomplish a. leadership that has perpetuated her name in French history and the his tory of the world.
 The Foul sector was the shome grounds for the shock troupe" but trips to various front line sectors, wheer dugouts were handy in case the theatrica1s had to be suddenly halted because of a shower of explo- sives, were made in doubtful looking Ftords that never failed to do their bit. In more quiet areas the troupe also became known. in places such as Tours, Brest, Champlitte, St. Briec, Dion and Bar-le-duc. Hke latter place | not always so quiet. Ixwas here that Miss Young calmly to K in the sight of German bombing plane in action, thinking it was a friendly plane doing some practising stunts. And the nic- est part about all the conversation wa that she hadn't haunted Paris, as did so many front Iine'' entertain
 CTS and workers for we'll known or | ganizations Paris wasn't even men, | toned, which is worthy Of comment. And hobby? Miss Young three
 times saw Bridgeports own circus in
 Madison Square Garden last spring and she hasn't gotten over the animal acts yet and wants to know if they really are wild. She was happy to 1 find that the big circus had pulled into winter quarters and plans to storm | the office entrenchments of Charles | Hutchinson tomorrow morning, hope | full of seeing the handsome beasts 'at | home" and have glimpse of the baby
 hippo that so much has been written about.
 But we Girls is the play, and | since it only opened Monday in Wor- cester there are extra rehearsa1s and | plenty of work for all in the cast. MT. and Mrs. Hatton wrote the play. They
 'Lombardi Ltd'' and then wrote an article for the American Magazine telling how they did it. "We Girls | Is & comedy, and if it runs to the form | of the famous "Lombardi Ltd" it | should be a big success.
