FORMULA FOUND FOR CAMP SHOWS
Comedy, Dancers Among Popular Hits Acclaimed
 
 at Camp Dix

Fort Dix, Aug. dissolution to the problem of what kind of entertain. ment . soldier prefers has been found at Fort Dix, as the outdoor variety theater here goes into its seventh week. The formula for keeping Americas soldiers happy runs something like this: pretty girls, good dancers and broad com edy acts. According to 'old timers" the formula worked back in 1918, too.
 The permanent variety theater ct Fort Dix was definitely an experi- rnent when it first opened. It was based upon the success gained by the 1lrst mobile show unit, produced at Fort Dix by Billy Rose, and since followed by similar units.
 Performers of note starred In the Billy Rose production, and now every weeks sees others of similar note e11. tertaining in the locally produced show. This week, Miss Rose Marie, who as Baby Rose Marie won wide fame several years back, Is demon. scttating to packed houses that growing up did not impair her singing talents. Star of radio and screen, she is nightly acclaimed at Fort Dix.
 Although the theater Is under the sponsorship of Lieut.. Col. Joseph c. Donoghue, post morale of1cer, the talent is secured and the show pro- duced by Phil Morris, Broadway ira- presario. There are two shows nightly, with 1natinees on eatur- days and Sundays. Programs are changed every Monday. Stanley Kosloff, who was with the Capitol tteater in New York city for 1o years, assists Mir. Morris.
 Two of the favorites of the Fort Dix soldiers are permanent features retained from week to week. They are the Dorothy Kaiser dancing girls and Bruce Rogers and his band Rogers has become such fixture that he has finally added Fort Dix to his ofiicial band title.
 This week, in addition to Rose Marie, the tl1eater is presenting the Stanley brothers, Red and Curley. Edison and Louise and Bud Sweeney, who acts as master of ceremonies.
 Not the least of the attractions Is the price-it is just 20 cents per soldier.
