WHEREAS, the eXigencies of war

States Army which was intelligent
enough to realize the value of such
a production to the wartime spirit
of all of us, there must go more
credit than it is possible to set
down here. Because This Is The
Army" does not try to capitalize
on patriotism, it is one OF the
most truly patriotic works l have
ever encountered. Because it al
ways keeps its sense if humor and
never tries to be emotional, it is
one of the most moving events in
theatrical history.
One difficulty in setting down
the admirable details lies in the
unacceptable fact that the show
really has everything. That is,
everything except girls. And the
terrible truth is that you don't
miss them The representations OF
the girls are screamingly funny.
BerlinS delightful music in
cludes: 1 Left My Heart At The
Stage Door Canteen; Mandy; Oh,
How I Hate To Get Up In The
Morning and The Army Made A
Man Out OF Me.
This Is The Army was Berlin's
own idea, revived twenty-five years
after he had worked it out as
"Yip, Zip, Yaphank" at Camp
Upton, Paphank, Long Island, in
1918. And today, 800 actors and
musicians have cooperated amazing
ly to make the soldier epic a sue
cess.
It's a marvellous soldier show.
Good for our morale and theirs.
Good for recruiting too. And bond
sales. And especially good for the
faith that it conquers When the
country's Number One song writer
sang his "Oh, How Hate To Get
Up In The Morning." he was near
ing the close of a remarkable en-
tertainment and a gallant adven
ture.

Order Slated To
Be Effective
After July 81
Petrillo Raped
AS Unfriendly
To Race Artists
BY FRANK MARSHALL DAVIS

BY FRANK MARSHALL DAVIS
CHICAGO. CAMP Unless James
Petrillo, car of the American
Federation of Musicians, changes
his mind and rescinds his ban on
making of photograph records
and electrical prescriptions sche-
duled to go into effect July 81 Ne
gro musicians will be hard hit.
Petrillo has informed all record
manufacturers that the 100000
Negro and white members of this
powerful AFT union would stop
making records except for war
agencies unless the companies
found q way to prevent their use
by radio stations and in juke boxes.
Since the manufacturers know Of
no way TO insure exclusive home
use for platters, they plan. to sit
back and wait developments.
LOSE S10O, 100000
The union leader bases his stand
On the contention that members
.eceive about $3,000,000 annually
in recording royalties but close"
S100,O00,000 yearly as result of the
reduced employment opportunities.
He says that many places which
would otherwise employ musicians
now use canned music estimating
that between 5000 and 5000 musi-
clans could be put to work in
places that now rely on juke boxes.
The Petrillo order will work
greater hardship on colored must
clans than on white. Most of the
colored bands depend largely upon
records played over the radio or in
juke boxes for their popularity as
well as part of their income. White
bands can expect to have consider
able air time on the big chains,
thus keeping the organization be-
fore the public, but Negro orches-
traS seldom get a chance to broad
cast. Most of those who do have
only the smallest of local outlets
Records have built UP following

clans appear personally. Lii Green

star now earning several hundred
dollars weekly on the strength of

Dark" Louis Jordan is currently
drawing crowds because of the
popularity of his I'm Gonna
Move to the Outskirts of Town"
while Erskine Hawkins was great
ly aided by Tuxedo Junction.
ORDER UNWARRAN,rED
The Petrillo order is unwar-
ranted in view of existing condi-
tons. Priorities have ended the
manufacture of juke boxes, which
means that when those now in use
wear out they cannot be replaced.
The cut in record manufacture is
also having it's effect on nickel-in-
a-slot monographs. At the same
time, it is well known that many
leading bands have been hard hit
by selective service, with many of
the best musicians already in the
army. Some leaders are having
difficulty finding adequate replace
ments and are considering using
girl instrumentalists.
If unemployment is so great
among ATM members, the hard hit
leaders should have no trouble find
ing requirements. Often it is lack
of ability that is responsible for
joblessness A large portion of the
public would prefer records by first
