Opera singer Grace Moore asserts that she and Russell Lewis and his associates have organized a new operetta company scheduled to be- gin activities in January, 1943, after she has completed her conn- mitments at the Metropolitan. The plan is to have the company func- tioning six months each year, with famous singers appearing i1 vart- ous productions, revivals and new operettas. First on the agenda is La Belle Helene" which has not been done on Broadway although it was quite successful in London a decade ago.
 The touring date of ''This Is the Army" has been decided upon de- finitely and this musical show by Irving Berlin with the all-soldier cast will make it's first bow outside of Broadway in Washington on Oct. 4. Leaves the capital Oct. 10 for Pittsburgh or Baltimore, with Philadelphia definitely set for a two-week engagement starting Oct 26. The show vii have achieved about $SOe,0O0 for Army relief by the time it leaves here.

 Hollywood, Bunch of movie big wigs were talking baseball at lunch the other day, and in the course of an argument a producer issued a challenge to B. G. DeSylva, produc- ton chief at Paramount. The first man said he could select team from his organization that could beat any outfit mustered from Para mount.
 No, we'd better not try it." De- Sylva said. T can't think of 18 men in all Hollywood that could trust if they had baseball bats in their hands."
