Woes of Bandman
Today Are Serious
NEW YORK.

sNIN NbAhANs
The war is completely dis
rupting the band. business,
among other things, and the
principal reason for this is the
lack of transportation.
Formerly orchestras collected
very pretty sums for tours of
one-night stands through the
country. These and the thea
ter tours made up for the some
what lean pickings at hotels
and night clubs. And formerly,
too, recording dates enabled
musicians to pick up some extra
change.
Now, to begin with, there is a
ban on recording. Further, 1t
is impossible to get transporta-
ton facilities for tours, whether
those facilities mean a train, a
bus, or private cars. Gas ra-
tioning has taken its toll of the
last two, of course. The mill
tary movements have boxed up
the first.
Tommy Dorsey says that mo-
ton picture contracts are just
about the only thing which will
keep musicians in the style to
which they've been accustomed.
For that reason. more and more
bands are gravitating to Holly
wood-the railroads, for in
stance. won't ship bass drum
| or a bass fiddle any more.
To confuse the whole busi-
ness further, Tommy adds, the
| draft has knocked the music
business galley-west. He lost
nine men in one week himself.
And orchestras like Claude
Thornhill's and Ray McKinley's
have folded completely.

NEW 4ORh.
This is a story Of a new motion
picture you will be seeing soon, but
it is movie which has a story
behind its making that is as inter-
esting as the one that will be seen
on the screen. The movie is Stage
Door Canteen" and 1t has so many
stars in it that the producers do
not dare bill any of them in lights.
All profit from the picture, which
will be released about April l. will
go to the Stage Door Canteen and
to other services which are pro-
viding clubs and similar assistance
to men and women in the Army,
Navy, Marines and other such
forces.
The picture of "Stage Door Can
teen" began few months ago, when
Hollywood Producer Sol Lesser came
East and stopped off IN Philadelphia
to see his daughter. At his daugh-
ter's house he met buck private
in the United States Signal Corps
who had been a film cutter in
Hollywood before he went into the
Army. This buck private was so
enthusiastic about the work of the
Stage Door Canteen, which he had
visited on his furloughs to New
York City, that Lesser stopped in
to see the place when he came up.
Lesser Became Enthused.
II grew enthusiastic about the
canteen work." Lesser said, land
Immediately started figuring how
it would fit into movie story I
got. United Artists to give us their
lowest terms for distribution; I got
these famous stage, screen and ra-
dio stars to make brief appearances
and with all that we have a good
story running through the movie" I"
AS for the stars who will appear
in the picture, consider these names
only a few among the many: Ed
Wynn, Gypsy Rose Lee, Katharine
Cornell, Jane Cowl, Peggy Wood,
Judith Anderson, Oracle Fields,
Irene Bordoni, Kay Kyser. Helen
Hayes, Ethel Norman, Billie Burke,
Tallulah Bankhead, Jack Benny,
Alfred Lunt, Lynn Fontanne, Ethel
Waters, Helen Menken, AL Jolson,
Simone Simon, Benny Goodman
and many others. They play bit
roles and for small salaries.
These stars will play some of the
roles they have made memorable
on the stage for instance, Katha-
rine Cornell's bit will be when she
is working at the counter in the
Stage Door Canteen and she does
her famed performance of Juliet to
the Romeo of Pvt. William Terry,
who is sitting across the counter. Pvt
Terry, incidentally, is not exactly
an amateur actor. A Pasadena boy,
he played the lead in Private Smith
of the U. S. A." which was a train
ing film produced by the Army.

Cheryl Walker, who has the femi-

had limited movie experience. She
was stand-in for Veronica Lake
and when she went to work on this
picture Miss Lake came in and
served as stand-in for Miss Walker.
Along with the actors and ac-
tresses contributing their services,
the playwrights also are contribut-

William Saroyan is writing one for

Susanna Foster Wins.
Susanna Foster will play the lead
opposite Nelson Eddy in The Phan-
tom of the Opera" This is swell.
The gal can sing, she's pretty, and
I wouldn't doubt but what she can
act. despite the kicking around
HOLLYWOOD has given her in recent
years.
III never forget the first time 1
heard Suzie sing. 1 was living at
the Hollywood Studio Club, one
evening, while chatting on the phone
with Evelyn Keyes, 1 heard music
from the room across the hall. A
girl was singing the Tenor Aria from
la Boheme," and singing it beautl-
fully. The fact that it was meant
for a man, didn't seem to count. Even
through two doors, her voice was
clear and lovely.
I said something about it to Eve
iyn. Then I opened my door into
the hall, held the phone cord out
as far as it would go. and Keyes and
I listened. It wasn't until the next
day that 1 learned the singer was
Susanna Foster.

Makeup Puzzle.
Don't ever tell me that motion
pictures aren't screwey!
A studio recently spent a whole
day making tests of Colbert, God
dsrd and Lake to see how to make
them look as if they had on no
makeup.
The palefaces will be involved in
$50 Proudly We Hail" a story OF
the nurses on Bataan. And, as you
know, lipstick and powder were
kinda scarce in those parts.
So the tests we're made. And
why? Well, it seems that the only
time an actress appears on the
screen minus makeup is when she Is
supposed to be dying. The studios
comment is, therefore:
Some makeup must be used even
to give the impression that none is
being worn"
Now are you thoroughly confused?

So far. the OPA has not rationed
kisses, and the movie moguls are
fully aware of the fact.

things in hand has evidently skipped
the stop watch technique it former
ly employed to judge love scene,
and is now claiming that good taste
alone will tell the cameras when to
stop grinding.
When "Casablanca" was being
made, everything was strictly regu-
lation. New materials were used
sparingly. Ingrid Bergnan's clothes
were devoid of metal fasteners and
extraneous silk. But romance, as
seen between Miss Bergman and
Humphrey Bogart, had q field day.

determined our strategy. It would be
casting an unnecessary doubt on the
lofty purposes of our Allies to suspect
them of having acted from selfish
motives and to have urged this strategy
because Britain and Russia are so much
closer to the Reich than to Japan.
The decision to strike at the European
branch Of the Axis must have been wise,
otherwise President Roosevelt would not
have approved it with such enthusiasm.
But once this strategy is accepted there
is no obvious reason why the Allies
should further delay their powerful blows
against the Nazis in order to end the
war in Europe in the shortest possible
time. Any procrastination is full of
dangers to the United Nations. The
Russians are expected to be attacked
soon by the Nazis with greater violence
than ever before. The summer campaign
against Russia has now been placed in
the hands of professionals. Unless Ger
many Is already played out-and the
most optimistic observers doubt that
this is the case-she is likely to hammer
our eastern associate very badly.

Western Europe must wait until next

of Stain will be to such strategy. He
Is dictator, but as such he, too, must
take into consideration the feeling of
the l90000,000 people whose fate is in his

We in the United States feel increas-
lngly uncomfortable about the task be-
fore us in the Pacific. The operations
against the small island of Attu have
liked to believe that the japanese were
losing their strength.
Our military and naval men are con-
vinced that if We could dispose4 of our
forces in the near future in any way
that we desire the American military
power could defeat the japanese. even
II We had to count on no support from
Russia and on a relatively meager sup
port from Britain
This may be overconfidence on the
part of our military leaders, but it is a
fact, The only proviso in this self
confidence is the time element. We can
do it this year-We may be able to do it
early next year.
But If we have to wait another two
years before our forces are disengaged
from Europe and the other theaters of
operation across the Atlantic our task
will become almost superhuman and
we shall need the absolute and unstlnted
cooperation OF all our present allies
with whom we are fighting Hitler.

But there have been unexpected de-

Character Difficult to Assess,
Belglans find it difficult to assess the
true character of Won Falkenhausen.
For the first year or so of the occupa-
ton he kept up at least a fair pretense
OF being gentleman" Unquestionably
he is man of breeding and culture. He
is credited with acts of justice even with
occasional deeds of kindness. At times
he has not hesitated to cut red tape to
end intolerable situations. OF late he has
drawn more and more behind the shelter
OF of1cialdom but he still appears oc-

expressed by Won Falkenhausen, not
quite so publicly.
The protesters hardly could believe
that the Indignation was more than a

will, who has approved if not actually
ordered in the first place, the shooting

Keeps Good Spirit.
The duchess came from Brussels. In
spite of the outrages, the fear and the
terrible hunger, she says, the down.
trodden populace keeps up a good spirit.
Every day or so a new Nazi joke is
surreptitiously circulated.
A popular one is for a Belgian to hold
his right arm outstretched from the
shoulder in the Nazi salute whenever he
enters public place, especially where
Germans are present The Belgians
burst out laughing. The Germans scowl.
