BY JACK CUDDY

UNITED Press STAFF Correspondent
New York, Feb. 1l.-(UP)-Sgt.
Joe Louis, the brand new pappy,
has been ordered to report at Los
Angeles Monday to play q role IN
the picture "This Is The Army" CO.
manager John Roxborough disclosed
today.
Roxborough, phoning from De-
troit, 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 however,
zone thing is certain. Joe will not
defend his title until the war Is
over"
The heavyweight champion has
been stationed at Fort Riley, Kas,
since last June. His duties included
those OF boxing instructor and di-
rector Of the camps boxing teams
Jolting Joe had been invited to APP
pear at the New York Boxing Writ
ers dinner next Wednesday night,
but his whirl at the movies will pre-
vent this.
Louis has been q movie actor be-
fore but never in q picture Of this
Importance. Otherwise his career as
an entertainer has been limited to
exhibition tours and brief talks at
service benefits and before boxing
organizations But we will predict
now that shufflin' Joe will be one Of
the hits Of irving Berlin's extrava-
gan2a. He has o warm personality.
despite his early reputation for be-
ing "dead-panned," and he has UNI
usual poise. He has captivated COM
pletely audiences at Madison Square
Garden and other spots with his
simple but extremely effective adj
dress. d..
Got O Break"
Before heading west, sgt. Joe will
visit briefly with his wife MarVa,
and their new baby daughter, at
Chicago. It's lucky for Joe he's in
the army, now that he Is a 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.
Joe Is the sleepin'est man. He GER
tainly loves that shut-eye. We re-
member the old days at Pompton
Lakes, N. j., when Joe disappeared
again and again in the daytime,
mind you. And the searching posses
would discover him slumbering be-
meath an apple tree. The late JACK
Blackburn, his trainer, forbade
these daytime siestas, claiming that
too much sleep mace the fighter
'logey." .
Louis should be mighty happy
while making '%rhis Is The Army.
He'll hear plenty Of music around
the Warmers sets, and he loves nu-
sic At his training camps, the RAJ
dios and monographs constantly
filled the air with hot music. At
times, ice and his pal-secretary,
Freddie Guinyard, would do bit
Of harmonizing. Freddie formerly
was secretary to the singing Mills
Brothers.
Meanwhile Roxborough's state
ment that Louis definitely will not
defend his title until the war Is
over squelches recent rumors that
plans were being made for the
champion to meet In London or
North Africa, Freddie Mills Of Eng
land in a big international bout for
service men.
