Lacking an official survey Of

per cent of the 10000 teen

fit for service.

In line with statements of ma

staff conceded that some men
with dependent wives would be
called by Michigan draft boards
in December to fiji their quotas

available.

SurIesque Banned So Stripping Becomes Legitimate
Three broadway Skin Operas
Lift Tassel- Tossing to Art
By TOM WOLF


NEA Service Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Oct. 16-Burles-
que in New York having been
que in New York having been
Officially buried and forgotten,
any similarity between the G.
string follies Of the days Of Min
sky and the current goings-on In
several of Broadway's "legiti-
mate" theaters is purely coinci-
dental.
Old-timers in the show world
who can remember all the way
back to last March, when half q
dozen grille gaieties graced the
erstwhile Great White Way, say
that the coincidence is positive
ly amazing.
They recall, for example, .
burlesque ballet called the
strip tease" This is folk dance
performed by q young lady with
an allergy to clothing. She di-
vests herself of her outer and
under garments, one by one, un-
til the difference between see
ing and believing becomes purely
hypothetical.
PUBLIC LIKES EN-
EVEN IF CRITICS DON'T
While it never goes quite that
far on The modern stage, at least
three producers have come to
the aid of students of theatrical
history by presenting reason
able facsimiles of this all-but-
forgotten dance.
Judging by box office re-
ceipts, there is surprising
number of such students in New
York, for even the critic pam
ned "Wine, Women and Song"
wherein Margie Hart covers
herself with little else than
glory, is playing to S. r. O.
audiences.
Michael Todd started the
cycle last summer with "Star
and Garter" In this musical
revue Gypsy Rose Lee winds
up (sic!) behind some fetching
tassels; Georgia Southern dem
strates why burlesque has had
it's bumps from time to time;
and Carrie Finnell shows
thing or two about anatomy
which she didn't learn from
books.
Latest arrival on Broadway in
this series is the new Lindsay
Grouse comedy, Strip for Ac-
tion," in which Eleanor Lynn
provides the takeoff which ex-
plains the title.
One distinguishing feature of
the burlesque of old was the
of the dramatic acts
in every show. ,Rehearsals were
seldom necessary. When a new
actress came into the cast she
would be asked: whats your
routine, Bobo?"
I'm the talking woman in
1.-THE Pickle Bit" she might
reply. The cast could 60 into the
Immediately. without
further preparation.
BY coincidence, number OF
these standard burlesque rou-
tines (including 1.-THE Pickle
Bit" now billed as 1.-THE Sacred
Gherkin,") mysteriously pops
up in the current musical
dramas. Among these are: 1.-THE
Box Number" 1.-THE Husbands
Return" 1.-THE Letter Bit"
"Echa Valley" 1.-THE $780," and
others.
RAID BURLESQUE
FOR DKAMATlC TALENT
Lest these priceless gems of
drama be spoiled in the hands of
inexperienced players from the
legitimate theater, producers
have gone to the trouble of OBJ
tanning some of the troupers who
actually played in these skits
back in burlesque. They include
feminine players with such
unique dramatic talents as Boo

RN THE weeks that followed Dunkirk many
English and French soldiers, left behind,
u were still trying to escape. A very few did
get away, hidden by tight-lipped French
peasants until they could be smuggled aboard
fishing boats
Christine Aubonnet, who lived alone in her
little stone cottage surrounded by rich farm
land, had helped several of these boys and
was determined to help more, as long as she
was able to do 50.
Fortunately her cottage was not on man
highway, where the thunder of mechanized
units was heard day and night. Only Ger
man patrol came along her narrow dirt road,
for the purpose of searching the houses OF the
peasants and speaking of frightful reprisals
for aiding English soldiers
Even before the Germans had swept
through the peaceful countryside, Christine
had had few visitors from the village, SIX kilo-
meters away. Now she discouraged visitors
of any kind She deliberately drew her craving
hair over her face, looking as sinister as pos
sible. She wore old black dresses and ragged
shawl With the help of hired man, Old
Anatole, she worked her farm She put on an
act of being dull-witted - even allowed peo-
ple to think she was slightly demented; all
of which suited her purpose. 1t kept prying
eyes away.
But not quite all prying eyes. Anatole came

Perhaps" she said slowly. But we can
not bring him here" She was silent for
moment, thinking. Cut some bread. Put it
inside your shirt. Some food may help him
- if you find him. Get your axe, as if you
were going after more wood. Be sure you
bring back wood The man in the tree can see
you"
Yes, madame
ANAroLE, with an armful of cut wood, re-
turned within the hour. Il found him. ma
dame A young English. He can hardly talk.
He cannot possibly walk. He has been IN the
woods for three days. He is bleeding. He will
die unless doctor reaches him."
Then we must report him." she said flrrn-
ly. That's the only way he can reach doc
tor"
Evening star., 1942-09-13

Report him, madame?" Anatole said,
Mortified. But surely ="
IF he is dying, there is nothing we can
do to help him. But by reporting him, we
turn suspicion away from ourselves and we
can possibly save others" she told him.
YES understand 1t is wise"
Get on your bicycle and 60 into the village
and report that you have found an English
man trying to escape. God help him."
She knew she would be visited by the Ger
man patrol The same two, the young AFRO
CANT Prussian officer and his orderly, would
come again to thank and possibly question
her. She detested the officers arrogance, his
shiny boots, his mocking fornality of speech.
But he spoke adequate French. So many of
the swine did! II
They came as she was preparing the eve
ming meal. She heard the car stop. The Ger
man officer raped on the door and opened it
without waiting for her "Entrez"
He said, Good evening, madame. We
have caught another English dog trying to
escape - thanks to your vigilance. But we
might as well have left him in the woods.
He is probably dead by now"
Il only did my duty" she said duly.
That is what we want - the cooperation
of the French. A grateful fatherland -"
