PARADE
BY JACK CUDDY

NEW YORK, FEB. II. = (UP)-
Sgt. Joe Louis, the brand-new pap
py, has been ordered to report at
Los Angeles Monday to play a role
in the picture This Is the Army
Co. Manager John RoXborough dis
closed today.
RoXborough, phoning from De-
trcit, said he wasn't Sure how long
the picture assignment would last,
but he figured on several weeks, :
after that Louis has no idea where
the army will send him.
RoXborough emphasized, how
ever 'one thing is certain. Joe
will not defend his title until the
war is over"
The heavyweight champion has
been stationed at Fort Riley, Kan,
since late June. His duties includ-
ed those of boxing instructor and
director Of the camps boxing teams.
IOlting Joe has been invited TO
appear at the New York Boxing
Writer'S dinner next Wednesday
night, but his Whirl at the movies
will prevent this.
CAREER LIMITED
Louis has been a movie actor be-
fore, but never in a picture of this
Importance. Otherwise, his career
as an entertainer has been limited
70 exhibition tours and brief talks
at service benefits and before box
ing organizations. But we will pre-
dict now that Shufflin' Joe will be
one OF the hits or Irving Berlin s
extravaganza. He has warm per-
sonality, despite his early reputation
for being "dead-pan," and he has
unusual poise. He has captivated
audiences at Madison Square Car
den and other sports with his SIM
pie but extremely effective adj
dress.
Before heading west, Sgt. Joe will
visit briefly with his wife Carva,
and their new baby daughter at
Chicago. It's lucky for Joe he's in
the army, now that he is pappy.
We could imagine no worse catas-
trophe for the Bomber than TO be
awakened at night and forced to
walk the floor with a yowling in
FAINT in his arms.
LOVES SHUT-EYE
Joe is the sleepin'est man. He
certainly loves that shUt-eye. We
remember the old days at Pompton
Lakes NJ, when Joe disappeared
again and again in the daytime
mind you. And the searching
posses would discover him slum-
bering beneath an apple tree. The
late Jack Blackburn, his trainer
forbade these daytime siestas
claiming that too much sleep made
the fighter "logey"
Louis should be mighty happy
while making This Is the Army
He'll hear plenty OF music around
the Warmers sets, and he loves
music At his training camps, the
radios and monographs constantly
filled the air with music. At times
Joe and hisn pal-secretary, Freddie
Guinyard, would do a bit of har-
monizing. Freddie formerly avs
