FIFTH ARMY BREAKS NAZ| DEFENSE LINE
All Seryicemen
Get Birds First

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-(UP)
The War Food Administration,
ruffling its feathers, announced
indignantly today that there would
be no turkeys for civilians until
all the servicemen get their birds.
They explained that 12,000,0OO
pounds of Thanksgiving and
Christmas dinner had to be re-
ceived by the army quartermaster
corps before civilians could see
even giblet. Only 100000
pounds have been rounded up so
far.
After that's all taken care of,
20,OO0,00O to 24,000, 900 pounds for
service men here at home must
be assured before civilians can
think of putting an edge on a
carving knife.

vaudeville is in heaven, which is a
nice place to be. My own thought
on the subject is that variety as he
used to know it is embalmed in the
movie producers back pocket, for
the very good reason there is more
money in showing pictures. The
appetite for good vaudeville still
exists but there is no entrepreneur
willing to back it.
Some Great Acts.
Some day in his leisure Pat Roo
ney plans to write book about the
vaudeville he knew, as distinct from
what motion picture houses now
present under that title Today's
programs comprise m C r p h n e
singers, tap dancers and a line Of
graceful girls in rhythmic routines.
The one-act sketch is faded men,
DRY, there are no longer any mono
loguists worthy OF headline, and
the barber shop quartet is as out
dated as model T Ford.
Pat Rooney yearns for the days
when his Rings Of Smoke" played
40 weeks annually and generally
closed the seven or eight act vaude-
vile bill The screen portion of the
program, confined to Aesop's Fables
and the neWsreel, was allotted but
eight minutes of the two hour and
one-half entertainment.
When Pat Rooney speaks of the
best vaudeville being in heaven, he
is referring to the great acts which
have passed on after making their
characteristic and permanent con-
tribution to the art of entertain
n1ent. Such acts as Sarah Bern
hardt, with her $1,000 a perform
ance at Keith's Palace on Broadway;
Nat Wills and Joe Jackson, two of
the greatest of tramp comics; Eva
Tanguay, who was the glamour girl
of the late COS; the Four Cohans,

> In those glamorous days of the
past Pat Rooney and Marion Bent
were considered tops in standard
dancing acts. I'm my youth there
was charm and simplicity about
vaudeville" says Pat Rooney, land
versatility which has completely
disappeared. Maybe I grow over
nostalgia, but I think these acts were
Tar superior to what passes today as
vaudeville. Keith's circuit had ire
fnendous habit patronage, customers
who came every week and knew
every act. These bills had novelty
and variety and acts were not
chained to microphone. We had
good bands, too, such as the Boston
Symphony and the Fadettes, and for
glamour nothing today could chal-
hnge the pretentiouS swimming act
Of the shapely Annette Kellerman.
I don't suppose two-a-day vaude-
vile will ever be revived as an in
stitution, but it is my Judgment
that somebody with the vision of
