Entertainment Techniques
Shown at G.I. Conference

Eddie Cantor, George Jessel, Las
ses White, the Delta, Rhythm Boys,
Skinny Ennis band, Perce and Wal
ly Westmore, Barry Trivers, Leroy
Prinz, Warner Brothers dance di-
rector, and score or more of other
big-name personalities in the enter
tainment world were among the ex-
perts who discussed and demonstrat-
ed entertainment techniques and
routines at the Ninth Service Com
mand Special Service conference
held last week at Santa Monica,
Calf.
The conference which numbered
around $50 persons was attended by
two members of Fort Huachuca'S S
enlisted personnel, Pvts. Henry
Wells and Georgia, Singleton. Of
the approximately 23 WACs pres
ent, Pvt. Singleton was the only Ne
gro member of the Corps in attend
ance.
The Fort Huachuca conference
goers were particularly impressed by
the opening speech of Col. William
Beveridge, who pointed out to them
that because of the great drain on
civilian sources Of entertainment,
soldiers must assume responsibility
for their own shows and amuse-
ment.
/ General purpose of the conference
was to instruct selected personnel
how to utilize available entertain
ment talent in the production of
soldier shows. Throughout the
meeting speakers from Headquar-
ters, Ninth Service Command
stressed the fact that the important
| factor is to teach performers that
their main objective in the produc-
ton of soldier entertainment is to
build up the combat morale of men
| In the Army.
i During the conference the Fort
HuachucanS lived at the Army Rec
reational Camp, which is located II
miles from Los Angeles and is just
