Letter from
Minnesota Boy
in Old England

HI O1u HAIS1O1lU
Several of our Twin City soldier
boys are somewhere in England"
This week we are reprinting an
other letter from one of these boys,
James Clardy, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Felix Clardy, 2437 9th Avenue S.,
Minneapolis. The letter follows:
Dear Mother and Dad:
I am feeling fine and very happy.
I am now in England. England is a
very beautiful country.
I made a visit to London the
other day and had very nice time.
I visited Westminster Abbey, st.
PauPs Cathedral, the Palace, the
Tower, Downing Street, Lambeth
Walk, The Old Lady of Thread
Needle Street, st. James Park,
government buildings and the Lime
House District.
I certainly wished you could see
all the places that have been
bombed. It is really terrible. Things
are very expensive here. One days
visit in London cost me sixteen
dollars. The English people are
very friendly.
T have heen nromoted to a Pri-
vate, First Class. wear one stripe
on my sleeve. With the new pay
bill and my promotion and over
seas pay I make $64.80 a month.
We only received part of our money
last month. We will get the differ
ence the end of this month. I have
$17.00 left on me now. I am going
to cablegram you $50 or more the
first of August. I don't need all
that money over here.
I had your old allotment in
creased to $50 a month. You will
receive it steady starting the first
of September. That $50 allotment
and my insurance will amount to
$500 a month leaving me $500 a
month. I am going to make that
do. All that I need I bought before
I left the States. I will only have
to buy cigarettes and candy, if
can get it.
The English money was very
hard to get used to at first but it
is all right now.
Please write me often and let me
know how everything is. When you
| write always send the letters by
Air Mail and I will get them a lot
faster. All the mail has to be CEN
sored so when you write, write on
only one side of the paper so if
they cut anything out they won't
mess up the other side. I received
four letters since I have been here.
One from you and Erma in which
nothing was cut out. I got one
from Miss Davis and Miss Morgan
that was cut up so bad I could
hardly read any of it.
You and Dad be sure to take care
of yourselves and don't worry
about me because I am all right.
I really have a swell job.
Tell Erma I received her letter
the other day and was very happy.
The first time I get a chance, if
they let US, will send her a SOU
venir.
Tell Junior and Brother hello and
to write to me. We can only write
so many letters, so when I write I
include the whole family. Tell all
my friends Hello. Will you write
Mable and tell her that I am now
in foreign service and to write.
Have Junior tell the Creamery
folks.
The flowers are really beautiful
here. Sessions, Wade. and I are
still together and getting along
swell. My address has changed a
little.
Please send me some Air Mail
stamps.
Your son, James. .

In reading the periodical, I'm
Fact" the other day we ran across
this item which we thought would
be of interest to the Union men,
bership in Dayton. It is an I'm
fortunate fact that we still have
"Nazi" minded people in these
United States.
We wish to remind our member
ship that the National Association
of Manufacturers have not given
up the fight against unions.
Nazi Methods In u. S.
Long before Hitler devised a
system of "Divide and Conquer
policies-which are detailed in
the U. S. Government publication
of that name-the leading Amer
lean corporations were already
employing some of them. For ex-
ample, it was part of the labor
policy of the Ford empire, as di-
rected by Harry Bennett, to set
Negroes and White against each
other, to encourage antagonism be-
tween American-born and foreign
born workingmen, to set Protes-
ant against Catholic, and Catholic
against Jew. Most of the Nazi and
japanese agents who are already
in prison and most of the % who
are facing trial for sedition, and
also Father Coughlin and the Rev.
Gerald L. K. Smith, who have not
been arrested although their
publications were accused by the
u. S. Government of being used
by all seditionists, were engaged
in this divide and-conquer bus
mess.
Every man who knows the
history of the uphill fight of labor
in America against the conspiracy
of Big Business and the press
during the past 100 years, knows
that the movement against the
Irish Catholics, the movement
against foreigners, the movement
against Negroes and the move
ment against the Jews have been
encouraged and financed by pow
erful forces. The movement against
labor and especially against unions
was financed by the National
Assn Of Manufacturers, according
to unquestionable evidence of
LaFollette Investigation, and the
NAM which represents American
business, is also disclosed to be
ruled by a small group of Eco
nomic Royalists (the equivalent Of
the Liga Industrale which financed
Mussolini and the Thyssen-Voeg-
eler-Flick, Krupp group which fl
nanced Hitler. )-from TIN Fact.

NEW YORK.

:-ssaa-'- -s---Frasa-~ . NEW YORK.
| AT this crossroads this week there
met pair of people important in
the American theater. Samuel
.Goldwyn Is the fabulous movie pro-
.ducer with the fantastic vocabulary
who has financed many Broadway
plays. CAS- for the many fantastic
tales told about his misuse and
malapropism of words, he talked
for an hour and spoke only the most
correct rhetoric)
Goldwyn's mission to Broadway
was. among other things, to see
Lillian Hellman, the author of Lit
tie Foxes" Watch on the Rhine"
and other hits of the theater, and
persuade her to work out another
title for her newest script. It is
already in Hollywood PRODUCTION for
release as a film in January, but
it may be seen on the Broadway
stage before then.
Il am opposed to vicious titles in
war pictures" Goldwyn said. But
do believe that all pictures, more
than anything else, should have
honesty and realism.
Il want pictures that will make
good will for the Hollywood indus
try, because by that way we can
make more money and pay more
taxes.
Both Hollywood and Broadway
producers are making extra efforts
to aid the war effort. We have been
lending star actors and actresses to
entertain men in the armed forces,
but that isn't a one-sided PROPOSE
tion. The British Army loaned
David Niven back to the Movie in
dustry for a few weeks to play the
leading role in the production of
'Spitf1re.'"
Caustic Yet Kindly.
AS for Lillian Hellman, she is one
of those quiet-spoken women dra-
matistS with biting wit, and she
can be as kindly to those she likes
as she can be caustic with those
she doesn't like.
Goldwyn thinks that her new
script would be a moving play, for
1t is a picture of Russian children

HOLLYWOOD.


Bette Davis discovered America In
1912.
The occasion was a bond tour.
And, knowing Miss Davis love Of
working herself to death, she prob
ably did it the hard way.
Shed been around before. She's
from the East, but she'd never
really seen America until she barged
of to beat the Axis.
The reason was q little peculiar
but completely understandable. Most
Hollywood stars travel either by
plane or by streamliner. They
therefore either float gaily over the
country, or arrive In the middle of
it at some revolving hour of the
night.
Bette, until she went cruising for
Uncle Sam, was just one of the
mob. Shed had her picture Of the
Midwest from Steinbeck and Sin
clair Lewis. And it wasn't a very
complimentary picture. But now
all is changed.
I'm like someone who just got
to this country" she said, when she
returned. II just found out how
wonderful it is:

and older people fleeing from the
horror of war and is somewhat in
the mood of her watch on the
Rhine" which won the Drama
Critics Circle award for 1941.
Miss Hellman is a playwright who
writes with a bite and an attitude
that faces the facts of life. But
she hasn't yet settled on a title for
this new Goldwyn picture and (per-
haps) play, because she has always
had difficulty in selecting titles. She
wanted to use German language in
her Watch on the Rhine" but Gus
toners thought it was a German
play at first and turned away. She
tried half dozen unsatisfactory
titles for her THE Little Foxes"
until Dorothy Parker found the one
she chose in the Bible. Her emf
nently successful THE Children S
Hour" ran into trouble until theater
audiences were educated to the fact
that 1t was not juvenile play.
Open-Minded Playwright.
She has often beer. accused of
being Communist, radical and
similar brands, but the truth is that
she has an open mind for demo-
cratic discussion of all subjects, and
it is that attitude that Goldwyn,
Herman Shumlin and other Broad
way and Hollywood producers have
found so productive of good plays
and pictures.
Aside from taking Miss Hellman
away from the Broadway theater,
Goldwyn is taking Danny Kaye
soon from the Broadway musical
comedy, Let's Nace It," to star in
new musical film.
After that Goldwyn is going to
do picture called They Got Me
Covered" a fictional story which
will run from rty-eighth street
In Manhattan to Alaska.
Well, Goldwyn never disappoints.
He said he could not tell me de-
tails of the story because Alaska
is in war territory, and therefore
any information is military secret,
But you'll be seeing it on the screen
soon. With sound and probably an
ofstage blunderbuss.

characterization Is the superb flow
ering OF a great star, and critics
are in accord that no other artist
Of the theater has the talent and
craftsmanship to attempt it.
Ginger Rogers must be prepared
to accept comparisons and to be
measured by severer standards than
those applied to the conventional
song and dance frolics. Hollywood
has the resources to drench the
screen version with opulence and
magnlficence. It has dream Sc
quences which can be rich in set
tlngs, lavish in appointments. What
makes Lady in the Dark" one of
the outstanding achievements of
the contemporary theater is the act

In New Play
Skin of Our Teeth,'
Coming to National,
Has LQvish Scenery

Opulent staging and lavish casting
mark Michael Myerberg's production
of Thornton Wilder's new comedy,
THE Skin of Our Teeth" which
brings a four-star cast, headed by
Tallulah Bankhead, Fredric March,
Florence Eldridge and Florence
Reed, to the National Theater for
one week only, starting tomorrow
Immediately following the Wash
ington showing the play makes its
Broadway bow, at the Plymouth
Theater.
The author of "Our Town." who
surprised audiences with an almost
scenery-less stage in that play, has
done an about-face on his newest;
and not only indicates scenery, but
that which, in the interests of his
antic tale, cuts up fantastic didoes
on its own account. Contrived by
Albert johnson, who has become,
more or less, a specialist in large
scale productions, it not only fills
the stage but transforms the Or
chestra-pit. for one act, into nothing
less than the Atlantic City Board
walk in the throes of a world con-
vention, beauty contest and what
Noah would call another good flood.
For Mr.. Wilder's play celebrating
the hardihood and durability of our
friends and relations in the human
clan, presents some of the hazards
that have beSet the race.
To animate this newest play of
Mr.. Wilder's, said to be his most
original, a cast of 40 players is
required. Producer Myerberg, max
ing it his first Offering in the legit-
innate production field following the
immense success of his Pan-Amer-
ican tours as director general of
Leopold Stokowski and the Youth
Orchestra, has assembled a notable
cast including many wen-known
players, among them Frances Hefin,
Montgomery Cliff and Reno Buff
fano. Ella Kazan, recently returned
from a Hollywood stint, directs the
proceedings.
