 Washington-The U. s. Army's theaters-on-wheels are going to keep rolling along-by popular de- mand.
 Once scheduled to wind up their "season" this month, the truck shows that have been playing to the nations scattered military camps now are to continue their tours indefinitely "by request" of generals and privates alike.
 Five big red and chromium trucks - mobile stages - have been going the rounds in different areas - from upper New York State to Florida, from Arkansas and Texas to Wyoming = especially where camps are situated far from city bright lights.
 The tricky thing about the trucks Is the way the left-hand side opens out. The first layer folds up to form 8 porch-like roof. The second layer hinges downward to make 8 plat form supported by screw-jack legs. Slip codple of steel rods into place at the corners, and there you have an 8-by-16-foot stage with the body of the truck making a nice deep al- cove behind 1t. String some foot lights or "baby spots" at front or side, hook up the amplifiers, and the show can go on.
 PERFORMERS ARE
 PROFESSIONALS
 In contrast to many army-spon- sored entertainments, which are supplied by local amateur talent or by gifted army boys themselves, the shows accompanying these trucks are professional vaudeville acts, presided over by an experienced M. c. and usually accompanied by @ leading star. Alan Jones is star- ring in the southeastern unit. Pop- ular Jane Frohnlan has top billing from time to time in northeastern productions.
 But the truck alone is far from being the whole works. In fact, four or five army cars, supplied by the particular Corps Area where the unit is operating, always go along to carry performers, sound and light technicians, and a soldier orchestra if necessary.
 Sometimes the unit plays two neighboring camps in one eve- hing. Then the convoy has been known to fold up the stage, stow the gear, embark the troupe and report action two miles away in thirteen minutes flat.
 IDEA WORKED OUT
 BY CIVILIAN COMMITTEE
 The army itself doesn't actually have to engage and pay the artists, or even get hold of the trucks. That has been taken over by the Citizens Committee for the Army and Navy, a subordinate of the broader Joint Committee for Army and Navy Well fare and Recreation under the guid- ance of Thomas Watson, head of International Business Machines.
 Playwright Robert Sherwood thought up the truck show scheme and handed over the workings to Chairman Vinton Freddy and book

CACNEY, O'BRIEN
 RETURN TO STRAND
Devil Dogs of the Air" to Play Return Engage
 rient Here

Ending tomorrow evening at War ner's Strand theater is the latest Bud Abbott-I,ou Costello comedy hit Tn The Navy; also washing ton MelodraIna" featuring Frank Morgan at the head of Q large cast of favorites.
 "Devil Dogs of the Air, breath- taking air thriller, returns to the screen at the Strand by popular demand on Sunday with James Cagney and Pat O'Brier in co-star- ring leads.
 The exciting story of 'Devil Dogs of the Air" which was filmed few seasons ago, has even more signi- ficance today than at the time 1t was made, due to the widespread interest in national defense. The picture is much more important and is much more powerful when seen in the light of present day events.
 A great deal of the picture was filmed at the U. s. Naval base at San Diego, which could not be done under present conditions, and pro- duced under special arrangements with the U. s. Government.
 According to reports, Cagney has never given a better performance than his portrayal of fresh youth who joins the Marines because he can't keep out of air ships. He gets into the aviation corps through the kindness of a Marine off1cer, play ed by Pat O'Brien, and he rewards Pat by stealing his girl, portrayed by Margaret Lindsay. The featured cast of thousands is headed by Frank Mc1ugh who has 8 droll comedy role as an ambulance driver.
 Co-featuring the program is "af- fectionately Yours" Q rollicking TO- mantle comedy, starring Merle Oberon, Dennis Morgan and Rita Tayworth.
 Making the most of a highly un- usual triangle situation, Affection ately Yours" romps rnerrily along, telling the story of a playboy for- eign correspondent who comes home to stop his divorced wife from mar rying another man. Others in the cast include Ralph Bellany, George Tobias, James Gleason and Jer- ome Cowan.
 An uproarious tale of a husband who pretended to be mentally un- balanced in order to prevent his wife from divorcing him comes to the Strand on Wednesday with the presentation of Love Crazy, CO., starring William Powell and Myrna Loy, the screens number one MT. and Mrs." team. On the same big show is another rollicking hit titled Reaching for the Sun" co-starring Joel McCrea and Ellen Drew with Eddie Bracken, Albert Dekker and Billy Gilbert.
 Other ace attractions coming soon to the Strand include "A Woman's Face" Billy the Kid" Big Store, "One Night Tn Lisbon," Blood and Sand" Caught in the Draft, and many others.

 (NEA Service Staff COrrespOndens) Hollywood Behind the screen: Somebody in Washington finally has halted the entrance into this country of German propaganda films. There has been no formal announcement because legislation is still being drafted, but the lid already has been clamped on.
 Germany's new war caught Rus- sia with all sorts of pro-Nazi pie lures on it's screens So now the Amkino agency is hastily buying and shipping Hollywood's aIltt-A library: "Confessions of a Nazi Spy," "Four Sons" Mortal Storm" !" T Married a Nazi," Underground" !" Man Hunt" and of course "The Great Dictator"
 It's said that one of the left-wing organizations is blackmailing @ few prominent Hollywoodsmen who once made contributions to what they thought was a cause of liberalism and the relief of suffering. Now the radicals are demanding more money on the threat of reporting previous donations of federal in- vestigators. One potential victim is said to have gone to the FBI and tipped off the scheme~

GREER CARSON IS
 CHOSEN FOR PART
In POIi Picture; Blossoms In the Dust" 1" Opening
 Tomorrow

For the first time in the historS of the motion picture, living Ali- erican woman selected the ster shd wanted to create her life on the screen. The woman is Mrs. Edna Cladney of Fort Worth, superin. incident of the Texas Children's Home and Aid Society. The star is Greer Carson, who plays Mrs. Clad ney in "Blossons In The Dust,n Metro Goldwyn- Mayer picture CO., starring Walter Pidgeon and open ing tomorrow at the Loew Poll theater for an engagement of four days.
 When Mrs. Gladney, who has found happy homes for more than 20OO babies, learned that the studio was interested in making a picture irl- spired by her life, she immediately named Miss Carson as her choice for the role.
 Her outstanding characterization since she gave the screen Mrs. Chips" in Goodbye, Mrs. Chips" Miss Carson portrays Mrs. Glad- ney's life from her young woman hood, when she met and fell in love with Sam Gladney, to the present day. Pidgeon, who scored a seHlsa- tional hit in Fright Command" is given another grand acting op- portunity as sam Gladney, who shared with his wife a hunanitar- ian interest in babies and there well fare.
 No more touching romance has ever been brought to the screen that than of Mrs. Gladney and her hus- band and their love of babies. Through personal tragedy and the loss of their wealth, the Gladneys continued their work of finding who needed babies to round out their homes and babies who needed par- ents. The theme is particularly timely with 50 many childless homes today being frightened by adopted babies.
 The first essentially dramatic pie ture to be filmed in technicolcr, the costuming and settings form 2 frame work for the beauty of red- haired, green eyed Miss Carson, whose eye-filling coloring makes her the perfect subject for color.
 Felix Bressart, as gruR but kindly country doctor, and Fay Holden, the May Hardy of the Hardy Family, as Miss Garson's mother. head the supporting cast, which also features Marsha Hunt, Samuel S. Kinds, Kathleen Howard and others
 On the same program is another smash hit Angels With Broken Wings" with Binnie Barnes and Gilbert Roland.
