Remember
Pearl Harbor
BY WALTER KERR

II was on December seventh
In Nineteen Forty One.
On an island in the Pacific
That the second World War
begun.
II was early In the morning,
The rain was falling fast.
The soldiers were awakened
BY some terrific blast.
All men knew their positions.
They ran 20 them with ease
To empty their aircraft guns
On the dirty Japanese.
The captain gave the orders
With n bullet In his chest
The shell men loaded guns,
And the gunners did the rest.
Bombs were falling here and
there,
Making the timbcrs fly.
Bullets were whining in the
air.
Knocking bombers from the
sky.
Dead men lay upon the ground
In this modern Hell's arbor.
Men, we've got TO get revenge

But we know what the Cartons
Joe Study does in the middle OF
rehearsal when some one comes up
and says, May I use the piano?"
He says yes.
He said it most graciously The
other day to Ann Ronell, the Holly
wood composer here to do the music
for Catholic us springtime revue.
Miss RonelPs co-guests at luncheon
wanted to hear the shows title song,
"Tickety Boo" which she had dashed
off the day before The only piano
Immediately available was that of
Study in the Cosmos room. 1t was
the only one that needed to be avail
able.
And after Miss Ronell finished
playing and singing her number,
Sudy's pianist almost stole the show
by dropping back onto his stool and
playing it off almost note for note
It's good trick if you can do it.
He could.
1t is quite show that the Capitol
and Earle Theaters have put to-
gether as the grand finale of the
Presidents birthday celebration,
the grand finale, that is, save for
the early morning breakfast.
As announced yesterday in final
form, it will include Sammy Kaye
and his orchestra, CaSs Daley, Sue
Ryan, Dean Murphy, Three Smart

wood blonds and the Earle's Roxy
cites. 1t will also include, of course,
the personal appearances of the

P. F. C. Joe Neatrour, this de-
partment's war correspondent as
signed to the Pittsburgh Johnstown
front where a battle is raging over
the locale of the picture to be based
upon 1t. Buzz Wagner's flying ex-
ploits, today submits the following
report:
The request that the title be
changed from the pittsburgh
Pilot" to "Johnstown Pilot" has
aroused more interest. The fight
has now become a county one
between Cambria (Johnstown)
and Allegheny tPittsburgh) Coun-
ties. In spite OF the barrage Of
kilograms sent to the Warner
studios none have been answered.
One batch Of mail containing
letters from prominent citizens
and from Buzz Wagner's mother
was returned unopened! Well,
that is really the first time have
heard of that! The unopened
mail was taken to local Warner
manager, Jim Keefe, who sent it
back, to another person whom
Keefe knows and hopes will be
turned over to Harry Warner.
One publicity man said: why
hold it in Johnstown or change
the title? Nobody ever heard Of
Johnstown." Maybe he never
heard Of the Johnstown flood.
But the fight will go on. You
know, this whole feud would
make a swell movie scene with
Frank Capra directing-but no
one would believe it. Anyway, I
can visualize Capra moving his
cameras around the streets, pool.

Of its rhythmic drum beat, but un-

creased excitement that ends in a
wild and thrilling outburst. 1t has
the variety that Ravel's popular
work avoids, and the manner in
which Fernandez has intensified its
highly dramatic quality is skill

Its stirring climax shattered the
lethargy that had taken hold of the

Skeptical Students

Students at Northwestern univer-
sity are skeptical Of wartime mar
riages, a survey conducted by the
Summer Northwestern, student
newspaper, indicated.
Most of the students questioned
said that only if marriages had been
planned before the war should they
be fulfilled during wartime.
Afraid shelter marriages won't
work. Young kids getting married
for week or two Of emotional re-
sponses are wrong" one student
said.
A coed said: ANY long-range
view now is warped and marriage
today is merely living together"
The students indicated concern
over the prevalence of whirlwind
marriages. Many of them said that
now more than ever serious plan
ming for the future is necessary, and
pointed out that it isn't fair for a
soldier to marry a girl when he
doesn't know how-or if-he will re-
turn. As one student put it: ''There
are too many shattered lives and
broken families as a result of the
last war. We should attempt to
avoid these tragedies"
