Stage Door Conteen Is Tour

Of D. c. Servicemen's Night Club

which we had thoughtfully kept,
we went upstairs to eat. Just as we
had received a tray, coffee urn
went haywire and started spouting
hot water downstairs. Several
women and three officers who were
handy tried desperately to stop the
flow of boiling water but a Marine
finally got the situation well in hand
AS we appreciatively munched on
our sandwiches a tanned, handsome
man with white hair appeared.
That's Paul McNutt" some one
cried. He showed a big smile, some
flash bulbs flashed and he was gone
Ina Claire arrived on the stage and
wondered If anybody would dance
with her Three colored entertainers
came out and brought down the
house for solid hour and sang some
risque songs that had the servicemen
in the aisles, and the hostesses a
little uneasy wondering whether to
Join in the fun or be above such
stuff. Then an orchestra came or
with jam session that was really
solid and a sailor cut a rug with a
sloe-eyed lass. The place was going
It's a Solid Place.
Another hostess came and sat
with us. She had what it takes but
for all our efforts to date her she
shook her curls and tried to soften
the blow by saying she was en-
gagged. We didn't see any ring but
while she seemed to like us, the
Canteen has a rigid rule about such
things. We couldn't pull the gag
about dunking doughnuts either be-
cause you had to 60 upstairs and
get 'em yourself. We had had q
feeble notion that maybe a Senator
would wait on us.
In our inquisitive way, we asked
the soldiers, sailors and marines
about how they liked the place
"Fine!" was the general reply and
Tor those who had been at the New
York job they seemed to think this
was bigger and better in about every
way. This, of course, made us feel
good because previously we thought
perhaps we had been missing some
thing in New York. Now, right
near our fort was a place that
really jumped and, soldier, when we
say it is solid place we mean it is
solid place. One thing we know
we're going back, but often!

BY PVT. RAYMOND BROSSARD.
We had always promised our
selves that when We were in New
York We would 60 to the Stage Door
Canteen but something always
seemed to happen-either a girl
was with us or We wound up at
Jimmy Ryans to dig his jive be-
fore taking the midnight train back
to Washington. Now Stage Door
Canteen was in full swing in the
District and it was, We were told,
but good. Anyway, we are going to
find out.
There was a nice but strict guy
at the door who made us produce
our dog tags, something We hadn't
done since we forgot to salute
second looie in front of the Will
lard Hotel. He handed us little
slip that was good for food, We
checked our jeep hat and entered.
For moment it seemed like a
movie set for Greenwich Village
scene, the music was "Oh, Chez
chonya," the lights were low and
the joint was jammed. Evidently
a ship or two had docked, as the
place was blue with sailors. We
were. a little surprised to see quite
a few officers about and were little
annoyed to notice a yummy blond

them her eye, but large.
How to Get a Seat.
There didn't seem to be any
place to sit but nice woman with
a Senior Hostess" insignia told us
in a confidential way that when
the dancing started it was per-
fectly o. K. to grab seat. The

panion in Russian jive left and a

by the time "her name was Eileen"
we were at a table. There didn't
seem to be too many hostesses for
such a bunch of CTS but mys-
teriously one appeared at our table
and evidently was just as thrilled
to be here as we were She was a
nice girl-no glamour girl-and
worked in the War Department.
She soon left us to dance with a
marine.
The stage was smart with two
cherubs floating across the back
drop looking just as though they
had flown off the covers of the New
Yorker magazine. A pianist and a
gal with bangs in an evening dress
appeared and in low sexy voice
sang a song we think was called
"Meeka" which reminded us of Eyes,
My Darling Daughter" and 400
years ago when we were in Harris
tweeds and slipping Martins at Bar
ney's. She got us out of that groove
fast with the Three Little Sisters

failed to amuse us. johnny Dough-

More Blasts in Belfast
Luid to IRA Terrorists

BY the Associated Press.
BELFAST, Northern Ireland, Oct.
10.-Two bomb explosions occurred
after dusk tonight in Belfast.
The first bomb was thrown at a
police patrol without causing cas-
ualties. The second was outside a
police barracks where two police
men and three girls were injured.
This was the fifth consecutive
night that bomb explosions have
occurred in Belfast, apparently as
the result of an Irish Republican
Army terrorist campaign.
So you want Toxic bombed again?
Well, bombs cost money, 50 help buy
some with War bonds and stamps.
