ARMY DITTlES
 SUNG BY TROOPS. IN "DIC PARADE"
Play Starring John Gilbert Shows Last Times To-
 might at Capitol

Rollicking army duties made popular by the American dough- boy during the World War are sung and heard in Mesro-G Gold wyn-Mayer's reissued version ,, of The Big Parade" with John Gil- bert and Renee Adoree in the leading roles, which will be shown for the last times tonight at the Capitol theatre.
 Ths first song, You're in the Army Now" is issued to introduce the characters in their roles of American doughboys. Every au- dience chuckles over this tune as the recruits in 1.-The Big Parade" step along as they bawl:
 ~Youre in the army now,
 You're not behind the blow;
 You'll never get rich By digging a ditch, You're in the army now" Then follows Over There" the song that George M Cchan wrote for the departing troops and which was sung at the time of the em- barkation.
 Once in France the doughboys quickly adopted "Mademoiselle from Armentaire" as one of the principal rollicking marching songs. This bit of dcggerel runs along for more than one hundred verses; many of which were written by the first troops to arrive in France. Its origin is disputed, but it is likely that the Marines, who first adopt ed the verses as their own, wrote many of the choruses s
