FORT DEVENS, Mass, July
% Up Life in the new Wo-
mems Army Auxiliary Corps is
just one darn girdle, bobby pin
and knitting needle after anoth-
er to some of the soldiers at this
fort - but they duck behind
the protection of theatrical foot
lights to express their view.
The "WAACs" are being ia
ken for a none-too-gentle rib
bling in a skit in the musical
comedy Park Your Khaki"
which is written, produced, stag
ed, directed and acted by men
on the fort roster.
The show opens three-night
run tonight for the entertain
ment of the camp, and, judging
from the goings-on in a final re-
hearsal of the lampooning skit,
rs going to be tough for a Fort
Devens doughboy to rate date
with a woman soldier from this
day forward.
where's my girdle, Claris-
sa?" squeaks one soldier-actor
as the curtain rises to reveal
the girls" stepping coyly from
army hunks at reveille and
grabbing for their unmention-
ables.
There's heavy competition for
the single buodoir mirror as the
girls primp for the days tour
of duty, but those who get lost
in the rush occupy themselves
by straining at old = fashioned
corset strings. Their skirts pro-
vide the coup de grace: Army

termaster's Department. They

off to duty. armed with knit
ting bags and needles. For a fl
male, they tell the audience in
song - You, too, can be a

This skit's as new as they
come - they haven't even got

army show" beams Private Wal
ter E. Peterson, Jr., of Boston,
one of the three co producers
of the show.
But Peterson, a former pro-
fessional actor, who wrote six
of the shows II lifting tunes,
will tell you that producing a
show in the army is as much OF
headache as it is in civilian
life, even though he has all
kinds of talent to draw on.
One of the final rehearsals mad
to be staged minus the orchestra,
because the boys had to report
for duty with the fort band -
and a harp player who was left
couldn't do much stunning
because his fingers had softened
through lack of practise since
he entered the army.

Every much So" answered
Dawson. II wouldn't be surpris-
ed il he had been a law student,
because of his chance remarks
about the trial.
"He was likely an athlete at
some university Dawson con-
cluded where they play lot OF
hockey and baseball. There
can't be SO many of them in

II the department at Ottawa
sends out circulars containing
the photo of Statler taken after
his arrest to all such universities
and mentions that he was likely
a prominent university athlete
specializing in hockey and base
ball about 10 or IS years ago,
there is an excellent chance that
we'll learn his identity from one
of them. -.
