thing that could be useful to the

was doomed TO go because it might
be used by the Japs, though this
effectively marooned the family in
the country.

up." they said, pointing to the
things which meant the life of the
homestead. They seemed to speak
without sadness and with extreme
simplicity. Nothing must remain
which the Japs can use"

office down by the quay had tele-

moonlit sea. But the, Standby
signal for destruction never came.
The morning broke and every
body, sleepy-eyed, sat doing over
coffee. The convoy was gone, the
sea empty. Again the telephone
sounded an air-raid alarm. The
husband went forth and did some
things he had done repeatedly
since February 3-he beat on the
gong hanging on his porch, warn
ing all the plantation workers and
coolies that planes were expected.
He drew out small notebook. noted

Edward is already 6-footer,

Candles were laid in all the rooms

Two U. S. Dive Bomber Pilots Become Coolies
And Escape to Java From Bali in Canoe

sideways but our 600 pound bomb
hit exactly on the bow blowing it
completely of. We hattened out at
1900 feet. Our smaller bombs hit
each side Of the bow, making per-
feet straddle. But as we flattened
out over the water suddenly black oil
covered our entire field of vision on

burst. We sank down slipping
toward shore and crossed directly
over the airfleld at Den Pasar with

There was no one in sight on the

TOO busy holding off other attacks.
We spent no time on the beach but
took the first path toward the

miles west of Den Pasar. We climbed
the jungle path to reach the village
of Tabannan.
En- route the natives gave us
bananas and coconuts. One native
chief seemed to think we were va
grants. for he presented each of us
with IS Dutch cents, the equivalent
OF Is cents in American money. He
warned us that two Japs who had
been sent as administrators to Ia
bannan were outside We pushed on
afoot and spent two days and nights
walking until We reached a beach at
point not far from the Javanese
Channel.
Then we found boy in a prau,
but he wanted 100 guilders (about
$500 to take us across. Having only
6 guilders ($3) between us, we were
debating whether to threaten the
profiteer with our wateY-soaked Colt,
when suddenly another friendly
Balinese chief appeared. Speaking
broken English, he gave us rs Dutch
cents each and two coolie hats for
camouflage and ordered the boy.

amusing version of Andy
Hardy's Courtship" with Donna
Reed as the new girl in the

To watch Mickey go through
the awkward wooing stages
seems ironic now that he is a
reSolute young married man,
happily settled down in a cot

Urges Theater Wing Boost

success.
II may take credit also for its
workshop where, year and
half before Pearl Harbor, excel
lent work was being done for
the British War Relief in send

It's energetic radio committee
has not only prepared a small
war book for sale for the benefit
of the Wings treasury, but has
made broadcast recordings by
famous stars, who gave their
services, 10 boost the sales.
It's speakers bureau has
promptly organized speakers for
the treasury department, Red
Cross, and similar campaigns.
This is all to the good but IL
is only a drop in the bucket. If
the Theater Wing is content to
take a local part in the war
effort il may do it comfortably
and easily on the present scale.

NEW YORK. April 4.
Since the Theater Wing has
at last enlarged its board of
directors to include members of
important theater unions, we
may hope that it will also en-
large its scope and its sense Of
responsibility.
What the Theater Wing does
now will not only affect its work
in the war, but may later shape
the future of the theater.
Unless the Wing brings to both
tasks much courage, wisdom,
and imagination it may lose the
greatest unity that the amuse-
ment world has achieved since
the theater produced two Off
shoots-the movies and the
radio.
So far the Wing may take
great credit for the stage door

No Delicacy Here

To judge a performance be-

course, not fair, but we are
curious TO see Mr.. Evans por-
trayal of the Scottish king.
With the exception of his Fail
staff, his previous roles have
been Of such a sensitive nature
the poetic Richard, the neurotic
Hamlet-that one has difficulty
in visualizing him as the re-
doubtable Thane, a burly man
quite handy with a claymore
when it came to his best friends.
If Evans. the lyric reader, can
become the brutal tyrant that
Shakespeare intended then we
shall most sincerely doff our
cap in great respect. For then
Birnamwood will have come
nigh to DunSinane.

Woman for The Role

On the other hand we can
almost anticipate Judith Ander-

choice among current stage
names for the role, we should
have voted Judith Anderson,

made its excellent decision.

sensation is Hilo Hattie, Jack
Oakie's comedy partner in Song

Hilo Hattie is the PolyneSian

out to capture Oakie for her
very own and who provides the
screen with the best native
laughs we have ever had.
A jovial clown. Hattie pro-

of this Technicolor treat, and

Carole Can't Be Dead!

More and more comment has

who say that when they are

it's hard to realize that Carole
Lombard is no longer living.
Her enormous vitality and
gayety, however, fuses to
dwindle.
This is undoubtedly one of her
finest roles, and the combination
of Lombard and Jack Benny is
inspired. Benny, of course, has
never been funnier, even on the
radio, and the delightful Lubitsch
touches make the whole film
one you won't want to miss.
