Out Of Luck for
Big Relief Show
TrainIoad Of Stars
viii Be Guarded
Closely All Monday
BY JANE sCHERMERHoRN

A trainload Of Hollywood's
biggest box office attractions will
arrive in Detroit al 8 a. m Mon
day at the Union Station and from
then on they will be as closely
guarded as a military secret.
The army and the navy are
going TO take no chances that the
film stars will lose box office
appeal by being displayed about
town before they step on the
stage for the huge relief show in
the evening at the State Fair
Coliseum.
To see the film folk you will pay
from 81 10 S25 for ticket 10 the
show. There arc still plenty Of
seats. More lower priced tickets
were being made available today.
No Public Appearance
There will be no public appear
ances Of the stars AT any other
ceremonies. Not one Of them will
even so much as look over a
bomber or stick his head inside a
tank.
The army and navy make this
clear in an official statement, in
which they declare:
THE public will not he al
lowed to approach the stars and
autograph hunters and fans are
urged TO assist the guards by
not making any efforts TO crash
the gate
THE stars will enter the Fair
Grounds by secret entrance
and armed guards will patrol
the roadway.
THE hotel floor reserved for
the party will be barred To any
except officials of the Navy Re-
lief Society and others In the
official party"
CAT the risk Of betraying n
military secret, it may be reported
that the stars will stay at the
Hotel Statler-but don't let on
where you heard it,
The unSung heroes of the entire
event will be the members of the
Michigan State Troops. who will
Z be force 10 eat an early dinner
at their quarters at the Fair
Grounds because the soup kitchens
must be moved out of the way
to provide dressing rooms for the
performers.
Under this system Olivia De-
Havilland will dress on the exact
spot where a bucket Of stew
stood only a few minutes before
and Joan Bennett will be able to
mix the odor of her expensive
perfume with that Of onions and
perhaps a touch of cabbage.
Meanwhile, the early-dining state
troops will be out of the Fair
Grounds supervising the parking
I of customers cars.
