PFC James MacColl, prominent Broadway juvenile; Cpl. Earl OK ford, featured singer of several big Broadway musicals; Cpl. Philip Truex, son of star Ernest Truex: Pvt. Julie Oshins, of the we'll known vaud team of Oshins and Lessy, and Sgt. rrza Stone, Broad way actor directoG ana erstwhile rignt-hand man 0; Producer George Abbott. Stone didected the produc- tion.
 Tribute to Navy
 The second half of the first act consists of various vaudeville tulns, such as juggling by Pvt. Larry Week, 8 comedy inspection routine by Sgt. John Mendes, and an ex- cellent acrobatic turn by the Allon Trio and others, including Pvt. Bel- monte Cristiani, of the famous cir GUS family. Also, a production num- Der built around the song. That Russian Winter" a little item de- dicated to Hitler and sung by OShins, and good Harlem hoof- ing number with Negro soldiers, constructed around the song, What the Well Dressed Man in Harlem Will Wear"
 The first act finale, the most stirring thing ill the show, is a trib- ute to the second act is Stage Door Canteen," at the same time trib- ute and gentle satire on the famous entertainment spot for service men which is the baby of the people of the theater. In this combination song and sketch effort are imper- sonations of such well-knowns as Lynn Fontanne, Alfred Lunt, Joe Cook (by PFC Joe Cook, Jr.) Vera zorina, Jane Cowl, extremely vel done by Pvt. Alan Manson, and Gypsy Rose Lee. Oshins shines again in the latter role.
 There is a tribute in song to the air corps, featuring two numbers, American Eagles" and Head in the Clouds" the latter being my persona l preference of Berlin'S score.
 "A Soldiers Dream" is a good production number, followed by another revival from "Yaphank, !" the famous "Oh, How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning." in which Berlin and some of the other orig inals from the "Yaphank" cast-the only civilians in the show-get the biggest hand of the production.

STATE

Held over by popular demand Reap the Wild Wind" will continue to entertain theatergoers of this vi- cinity at the air conditioned State theater through performances Tues day evening.
 The rousing, rowdy, resplendent riot of color, adventure and sheer "bigneSs" that 1t Is Reap the Wild Wind" is the cinematic highlight of the year.
 Filmed in gorgeous technicolor the spectacular epic boasts an all- star cast headed by Ray Midland, Paulette Goddard and John Wayne supported by Raymond Massey, Robert Preston, Susan Hayward, Lynne Overman, Charles Bickford, Walter Hampden, Martha ODriscoll and Janet Beecher.
 The picture was adapted from the Saturday Evening Post story and is set in 1840 when Americas sea borne trade was threatened by wreckers who operated out of Key West and took advantage of the wild hurricanes of the Caribbean.
 It tells the exciting story of a boy and girl, Midland and Paulette, who helped to end the piracy. Be- hind the love story is the broad sweep of history, forerunner of later day when steel-hulled under sea pirates would wrack ships off the very same shores.
 While the shipwreck and hurri- cane scenes are exciting enough for 8 half dozen thrillers, the films highlight comes when Midland and Wayne battle to the death in a fathoms deep rendezvous with a giant squid. This sequence alone is enough to insure for Reap the Wild Wind" a secure spot in cinema his- tory.
 1 If you want the peak in enter tainment try Reap the Wild Wind" at the air conditioned State over the weekend. You can't miss with this one.
 Escape From Crime" is the sec- ond big hit of the program and features a large cast of favorites.
 'The Gay Sisters, costarring Bar bara StAlwyck and George Brent, comes to the State Wednesday next ] with Murder in the Big House" featuring Faye Emerson and Van Johnson as the second big hit.

This Is the Army" is the town $ latest and most popular hit, an agreeable shot in the arm to pep up the general tone of Broadway's $ first wartime summer since 1918. ,, The local engagement is billed as limited, but is expected to be ex- tended beyond the scheduled month because of the demand. Commercial appearances in other cities and ShowingS at various camps are on the agenda.
 Not having been around when "Yaphank" was being shown, I must rely on the opinions of those who have seen both shows that the present one is considerably supe- rior to Berlin's first army show. It stands to reason, too, since the compoSer-ShcWman has had some 25 years experience since "Yap- hank" and show standards today are much higher than they were in 1918.
 15O-SOldier Chorus
 There are some enthusiastic souls who are boosting Army" as the best musical show in a long time, but this is eXaggerating things bit. It is good solid entertainment, and besides, it gives you an emo- tional lift you do not get from the ordinary commercial production, but the fact remains that there have been and will be better musicals. That Is said not to detract from the army's production, but just to get things in their proper perspective. The ordinary commercial ventures, even those boasting the best talents, bow in with two strikes on them. Such as show as This Is the Army" is halfway home before the curtain is rung up. Any producer probably would give ten years, ot his life to be sure of the kind \of audience reaction that Army" can count on.
 But to get to the show. The first half of the first act is in the min strel pattern, with some 15O sun- taE-uniformed soldiers sitting on tiered benches extending from near the footlights up and back into the flies. They form the chorus for such Berlin songs as "T'his Is the Army" I'm Getting Tired So I Can Sleep" T Left My Heart at the Stage Door Canteen," and Mandy" an old "Yaphank" number. effectively re- vived. Performing in front of the chorus in song and dialogue are such featured players as Pvt. Will liam Horne, Pvt. Pinkie Mitchell,

Hollywo0d-The movie-makers are up to their ears in a quandary. With more ready cash than they've ever had before, they're restrained from spending it on lavish-or even ade- quate-sets. They want to be patrt- otic and conserve materials, but they also have been assured that the most patriotic thing they can do is to keep making good movies.
 The WIPE put an arbitrary limit of $5O0O on expenditures for new materials for construction of sets in each picture. That goes for super epics, quickie westerns and cheap B products alike. Such a blanket re- striction doesn't make sense since WIPE also is much interested in the conservation of film, the chemical components of which are q lot more valuable to the war effort than, say, the lumber used in building sets. Everyone agrees that one of the greatest possible savings in film could be made by killing double Tea lures and, with them, the trashy class B movies which nobody wants.
 Instead, the government order is. an encouragement to low-grade pro- auctions and is causing the cancel lation of some good ones. An exam pie of the latter is 2Oth- -Fox's Amer ican Cavalcade," patriotic story about an American family's part in the last three wars.
 The movie industry hasn't yet agreed on a policy or attitude. Some of it's men are in Washing ton telling officials that present rules will dreck Hollywood and it's usefulness as morale builder. Others, here at the studios, say that by dint of sweat and in- genuity they'll get along somehow.
 There are half dozen lavish looking sets on the sound stages today which are so fimsily con- structed that door can't be closed during a scene because 1t would make the fabric walls ripple and ouiver. Press agents who used to brag that a grand ballroom or 8 chateau cost $48,000 now earnestly point out makeshift tricks with assurances that the whole business is nothing but lath and tarpaper, and that the crystal chandeliers are made of old pop bottles. Mat ter of fact, some hundreds Of cheap glass ashtrays, clamped face to face in pairs, are the principal decorative feature of a modern istic living room built at Universal for Love and Kisses, Caroline"
 The same studio also has an im- pressionistic tropical palm grove for a moonlight sequence. Art Director Jack Otterson says it ordinarily would cost at least $12,000. He has made 1t of scrap from the salvage dumps-the palm leaves from dis carded carboard cartons, foliage from soda straws and strips of paper, and flowers from conical ice cream cups.
 The studios now rent sets and scenery from each other. Each has something - ship, 6 train shed, foreign quarter or hotel lobby-that no other company owns

BETTE TAKES PEN IN HAND

BETTE TAKES PEN IN HAND
 Writing a le>Ier Tor closeup scene in her new Warner Bros. pie ture, Now, Voyager," gave Bette Davies, the usually calm dramatic actress, the first case of camera fever she has ever had.
 Bette volunteered to write the let ter for the insert department of the Sudio. "I'd like to learn how it's done," she said.
 So, promptly at 10 o'clock one morning, Miss Davis climbed the long flight of stairs leading to the third floor of Stage 5, where the in- sert department is located.
 With her hand made up and the pen and paper handy, the camera was spotted above Bette's right shoulder and close to her ear, so it could look down her arm and watch her spell out the words.
 The whirring camera bothered her. The closeness of the mechanics of photography confused her. She shivered, the pen twisted and fell from her hand. She tried again and again.
 She kept trying, according to "Pinky" Weiss, who made the in-

POLES

'This Above AL" the Daryl F. zanuck presentation of Eric Knights best-selling novel, which opened yesterday at the Loew's Poli theater. is a war picture without battle shown in it and yet every piece of its footage, even the sen- sational love story, is dedicated to the present struggLe-the war is not lost for minute, though 1t is never shown.
 This curious and perhaps sig nif1cant fact presented its makers with some problems calculated to make even the studio wizards sigh for simple battle scenes involving thousands of extras and tons of explosives. Easier to depict the evacuation of Dunkirk than the English countryside during the war, as the 20th Century-Fox tschni- clans who have done both in the recent months, have discovered

It involved a careful research into the wartime habits of the English people and their reaction to the daily routine rather than the laundering impact of war.

NO ARM CHAIR GENERAL
All brains and no battles? Oh,
no. He led a cavalry charge as
second Lieutenant in the 1909
Philippine expedition against
the Moros; he fought on the st.
Mihiel a n d Meuse-Argonne
fronts during the last war, and
Macarthur picked him as the
best man to take over on Ba-
tam.
Wainwright's citation for the
distinguished service medal says,
among other things, for 80 de-
votion to duty and exercise of
initiative ." After he got
it, he commanded the 3rd caval-
ny at Fort Myers, Va, and later
he had the 1st Cavalry at Fort
Clark, Texas. He took command
of the Philippine division in
1910.
The General is a native of Wal
la Walla, Washington, and is
SO years old.
Here's what the w r Depart
ment says of him-"Natural
leader, magnetic personality,
clipped speech, good disciplin-
arian, popular with officers and
men, alert, forceful, and has
plenty of confidence in himself"
TYPICAL CAVALRYMAN
He is the typical, long, lean
cavalryman. He loves a fine
horse, so much so that he's been
on all the famous horse teams
wherever he served, played polo,
and from the time he was
shave-tail spurred to the front
in every attack.
Then came cavalry tanks. The
General said it was Okay, since
modern warfare required it that
way. But old pals say 1t broke
his heart. He fit a horse much
better than a tank.

DESERVES CREDIT
Once together, Wainwright
helped maneuver them into what
became "MacArthur's line of des-
tiny" and there he stayed with
his men-fighting japanese
hand-to- hand. To him, probably
more than to any other officer,
war departement officers say,
goes credit for the foresight
which prevented the whole out
fit being knocked off in bottle
neck at Manila.
The General is called master
strategist. He is a graduate OF
every advanced tactical school,
including the Army War col
lege. A brother officer says he
never hesitated in theoretical
maneuvers when asked an opin-
ion on where an enemy was like
ly to attack in force or where
and how best to meet him with
either offense or defense tactics.
