10 in the movies, and on the air
Ann Corio blossomed as legitimate
actress, not very brilliantly. but
profltably. The children of burlesque
were scattered to the four winds,
hobnobbing with the west Of the
water tower people. being feted
socially as equals and not as freaks
For all their bad reputation with
officialdom, and intimations that
their manners and diction were
askew, they turned out to have a
naivete which completely charmed
their new associates, and their new
audiences.
Naughty people who had ignored
It for years suddenly began to per-
ceive that there was something
about burlesque. They were not
quite sure what it was, but it seemed
something worth investigation, with
an eye to its possible exploitation
on the part Of certain Investigators.
1t was recalled that back in the
days of 1929, the good. old golden
boom days, play called "Burlesque"
was an outstanding success in the
legitimate theater. Through it some
of the best people learned that bur-
lesque performers were not the
worst people, that they had their
crudities, but also their virtues.
1t all added up to a fine thing to
mediate upon in the case Of a lot Of

persons associated with the more
dignifled phases of the theater.
In the cases of Howard Lindsay
and Russell Grouse. humorous and
far from naughty men, it has added
up to something more. Out of their
contemplation of the whole phenom-
enon, they have written a play called
Strip for Action"
1t is about burlesque and its fate
in these recent years and even
though it is not scheduled for pro-
duction until autumn, 1t is arousing
no end of attention in the theatrical
world.
An arresting aspect of the plans
for Strip for Action" a title which
hints of the nature of the comedy,
is that its producer will be Oscar
Serlin.
Mr. Serlin's last enterprise was
something quite far removed from
the locale of burlesque. That would
be John Steinbeck's The Moon Is
Down." a philosophic treatise on the
power of little men to break the
spirits Of their conquerers by ignor-
ing them at such times as they were
not planting bombs in their sleeping
bags, or along their railroads.
That virtually out of the way, he
is preparing to return to comedy
which served him so profitably in
the case of Life with Father"
The emphasis upon one aspect OF
girls advance in the movies has
tendency to obscure others which
are not without their interest. For
instance. it is probable that for all
they have heard and dreamed about
Hedy Lamar, 1t is unlikely that
one in 10000 persons knows how she
learned English.
The simple fact is that she learned
it by going to the movies. sitting
hour after hour, even through some
of the lesser animated cartoons,
listening to the words, learning what
they meant, and making them her
own.
The hard way. did somebody say?

Home Fires Sentiment.
Here's how one Fort Meade poet
worded the keep the homes fires
burning sentiment:
Still plant the garden. roundabout
Still grub the sturdy thistles out;
And stake the blue delphinium
"As if this war had never come"
Private F. x. Keashen knows his
helmet might come in handy if
shrapnel starts raining from the
sky but he has better ultimate use
for the tin cap:
I'm wishing for the day
This hat of steel of mine
will be a pot for flowers
And latticed with a vine"
Poetry and soldering seem to 60
hand in hand because Melott, most
prolific, has been promoted and
Sergt John v. Sullivan, typical
Meade versifier, holds down the
tough but coveted job of tank COM
mander.
Was Once q Mail Clerk.
And tanks run through the poems
of this Bronx lad who was mail
clerk in a New York department
store before he turned soldier.
In "A Tankman at the Gates" fof
Heaven, Sergt Sullivan tells the
guardian of the celestial portals his
grimy appearance is part and parcel
of a tankman's job:
"A bathtub or a sink inside
"A tank is in the way"
And then he says impatiently:
''Yes, being just tankman
I'm not much used to waitin';;
Now may live in Heaven, sir,
"Or must I call on satan?"
He knows destiny is riding with
him in the tank where he mans
two guns and promises:
Il know one day I'll meet my fate
"Astride my iron horse
But till it comes, and come it shall,
I'll stick true to my course
There may be little nostalgia in
the Fort Meade poems but there's no
shirking of duty and they second
Sergt. Sullivan's pledge with an
unwritten, "them's our sentiments,
too, bud!"

Alice 1ngersoll
Scores in Recital
At Phillips Gallery

Alice Ingersoll played a program
of piano music yesterday at the
Phillips Memorial Gallery, fulfilling
the requirements OF the bachelor of
music degree she will receive at the
annual commencement Of the Wash
ington College of Music June 2l
A measure OF her fine musical
intelligence was gained at the start
in the E nat minor prelude and
fugue from the first volume of the
well-tempered clavichord of John
Sebastian Bach. In the prelude
Bach combines simplicity of ex-
preston with depth of emotion,
achieving an epilogue which defies
any but the most careful interpre-
tation. The fugue follows with a
construction complex and intricate,
but wrought with inspired craft
manship, resulting in one of the
finest, though most difficult. fugues
in the entire collection Miss In
gersoll's grasp and understanding
of the intricacies Of the fugue, her
enunciation of the involved stretti
and her complete concentration in
so doing were exemplary. nor did
the deliacies of the prelude elude
her.
The Beethoven Sonata in D Mi
nor" followed. with dramatic point
ing of phrases to their climaxes.
Nice adjustment of the low-lying
melody of the adagio movement and
the arabesoues with which it is
surrounded was evident. Two List
transcriptions, one the Schubert
"Hark. Hark. the Lark the other
the MendelSsohn "On Wings OF
Song had clear melodic outlines
and we're properly brought into the
foreground
The Chopin concerto in E Mi
nor" closed the program.
The orchestral accompaniment
for the concerto was played on a
second piano by Fanny Amstutz
Roberts, who presented Miss Inger-
soil.

FORT GEORGE G. MEADE. Md,
June 8.-Arden L. Melott looked
at his Army shoes and wrote:
"A foot in length,
six inches wide;
AN ounce of tacks,
Two pounds of hide"
He was still angry at the bugler' S
reveille the morning he wrote:
The bugler wakes up each day;
Il wish to heck that he would play
over the hills and far away"
These verses, not likely perhaps
to set the poetry world on fire but
expressing common Army senti-
ments with economy Of words. have
won a place in an anthology of
Fort Meade poetry-an anthology
which touches on homesickness,
courage and the soldiers faith.
Proudest Of Freedom.
OF all the sentiments in their
verses. the soldiers seem proudest
of their birthright of freedom. When
their modest book went to the print
ers, it bore the title, Free Men
Sing
The anthology-believed by Fort
Meade officers to be the first book
of American soldier poetry pub
lished in this war-had its begin
nings in an unexpected rush of
verse from Fort Meade pens.

poems and before the editors could
say "Siegfried sassoon." they had
more poetry tmostly bad on their
hands than they could handle. The

Some of the lines were written
by soldiers who had their tongues
firmly in their cheeks as in this
one where Pvt. Jack Perlmutter
used a famous Army gag about a
second "looey":
You can tell a private
BY his look of great alarm.
You can tell sergeant,
He has three stripes on his arm.
You can tell a captain
BY his manner. clothes and such
You can tell "shavetail"-
But you can't tell him much"
But not all are in this mood.
Musing in Free Verse.
A clear night when Melott heard
the mail plane winging toward
Washington set him to musing in
free verse:
The soft night is redundant with
Myriads of twinkling diamonds
Little hocks of fleecy clouds
Meander past, and high overhead,

And green lights sail across the sky,

MULTIPLY 1T BY MILLIONS

1t is natural for every consumer to feel, sometimes, that this
procedure of priorities and consequent shortages is directed
solely at him. When he attempts to purchase IN article only to
find it not in stock, his reaction is likely to be a feeling that he
individually, is being Disseminated against.
IF he does feel this way, he has no conception of the prob
lens facing the merchant and business man. Some articles sim
ply are no longer obtainable. On others, it is not exceptional
to recorder a half dozen times before the order is not cancelled.
The supply houses and jobbers face the same problem on a much
larger scale, as witness this bulletin from a large Chicago
concern this week:
fnor to the present emergency we had hundreds of
accounts on our books made up of good dealers through
out the United States. We still have them. We could have
added many more new accounts the past year but didn't
Out of all our customers, at least 1000 are extremely
active and are vitality affec ted by the increasing shortage Of
critical goods, just as we. ourselves, IRE vitality affected.
These 1000 customers are depending on us more than
ever before for merchandise. So when we have to cut your
order down to 3 machines or 2 gross of erasers or gross
of pads, please multiply that by 1000. Three thousand ma
chimes, 1000 gross of erasers or 1000 gross of finger
pads is quite different, ism it? That is our problem.
Multiply this single company's situation by all those in a
similar business and we begin to secure a picture of the shortage
on a national scale. Patience and understanding are going to
be needed by every shopper in the days ahead.

WHY NOT A FLOOR FOR FARMERS?

Debate is waxing loud and long in congress over a ceiling
on the price of farm products. That is all right. Farmers anc
stockmen of the west will not protest if the law is such tina
it does not prevent them from receiving a fair return for thei
products. although a fair return is something that they do moi
receive many years.
But with al. this talk about ceilings, how about a little con-
sideration of a floor. too2 We mean, if there is to be a maxi
mum fixed, the mar on the farm and ranch should have the
assurance that the price will not drop below a minimum, also
fixed by law. Our experience in the last war and the intervening
years was that, for a time, agricultural sections got big prices
for their commodities, big enough to make excessive profits for
a year or two. Then the bottom dropped out and it was not
long before all the profits were wiped out. On the basis of price
alone. there is not a stockman or wheat grower in Montana
who has not lost money during the last twenty years.
Now, we r all faced with increased costs of production,
The farmer will have to pay more for a combine or a tractor
or a tire, ifh he can get any of these articles at ALL This increased
cost is partly caused by the guaranteed and established wage
for the bulk of city workers. The cost of getting agricultural
products to markets probably will increase. All of these factors
and many others are going to cut the margin. When the war is
over, the farmer will not have any great surplus to show, even
if conditions II ideal. 1t is obvious that he needs the pro-
lection of a minimum price just as much as the laborer needs
a minimum wage law.
