Madeleine Carroll
Jitterbugs With
Meade Soldiers
Daughter Of Regiment
Becomes One of
10th Infantry Family

They call her Butch. Generally,
however, she's known as Madeleine
Carroll. But the men Of the 10th
Infantry Regiment, 29th Division,
who named her the Daughter of the
Regiment" decided she was in the
family.
Miss Carroll came to visit the reg
iment at Fort George G. Meade. Md,
yesterday. She was decorated, dined,
practically mobbed-and nicknamed.
She jitterbugged with the soldiers
of her regiment, shook hands with
her commanding officer and spent
the night, tenting on the old camp
ground.
Miss Carroll, after her appearance
In the movie virginia" was adopted
by the men of the 116th, who come
from the part of Virginia where the
Aim was made. Yesterday, she came
east for the first time to visit her
outfit.
Dances With Soldiers.
There was a parade in the after
noon and the presentation OF a spe-
cial medal. Miss Carroll was the
guest Of the officers of the regiment
at a dinner and then sailed forth to
meet the soldiers at their dance.
The dance started off quietly.
Oficers of the regiment had picked
out four enlisted men who were to
dance with the movie star. The
,f q T
Rickard of Boydton, Va. They
glided of and he told her how glad
he was that she had come. Practi-
cally the entire regiment had
passed up week end leave, he said.
Then she danced with Corpl. Rob-
ert C. Howser of Leesburg, who
talked to her about horses. Then
came Pvt. First Glass H E. Walters
of Roanoke, and Pvt. James w. Cas-
sell of Wytheville, Va. The latter
asked her to help him get q fur
lough.
These four men had been picked
by lottery from among the out
standing soldiers and the plan was
to stop at that. But Miss Carroll
asked to meet some Of the other
boys. There's where she stuck her
neck out.
She danced off with one, and two
steps later another cut in. The
thing began to grow. Actual timing
revealed that she was dancing with
a new partner every 10 seconds.
E,:ur
A platoon or two followed her,
encircled her and fought for the
10-second dance. Soon the entire
dance floor was filled with: First,
Miss Carroll; second, her dancing
partner, and third, the rest OF the
soldiers who were waiting to dance
with her.
Col. E. w. Opie, commanding
officer, stepped in to rescue her. He
danced with her for Is seconds when
a private stepped up and cut on
him. He was a rookie
Don't you know what those
eagles on his shoulder mean?" asked
a Mortified sergeant.
WAdI eagles! asked lne fookle.
The men really began to get into
the spirit of the thing. They
started jitterbugging with Miss Car
roll. Then they began calling her
Butch She was having q fine
time.
Finally. COL Opie moved in again
and escorted her from the hall. She
stopped by the hostess house on the
post-where she spent the night
to rearrange herself and then went
on to an officers dance.
She wore her medal. with the
coat of arms Of the 116th Regi-
ment, and the regiments motto.
The motto is Ever Forward"
