Men at Battlefront

Formally opening the new District
Red Cross blood donor center in the
Acacia Building, 81 Louisiana ave-
nue. NV. War Mobilization Direc-
Tor James F. Byrnes today declared
the need of American fighting forces
for blood was greater than ever be-
fore"
Mr.. Byrnes' speech was read by
Fred w. Vinson, director of eco
nomie sterilization The OWN
chief was unable to attend the cere-
mcny. The audience included a,
distinguished group of Red Cross,
Army and Navy officials.
THE small percentage of men
WHO have died of wounds in the
present war" Mr.. Byrnes said, has
been source of surprise and COM
fort
Must Be Protected.
TT is convincing proof of the ad-
vance OF medical science. But if
the advance is to be effective, and
# We are to carry the fight to the
soil OF our enemies, our fighting men
IS they press forward must be pro-
tected by our blood. Their need is
greater than ever before. Remem-
Der this.
Here at home we will not be called
upon to spill our blood on a far awav
battle in this fight for freedom, but
here at home we can give our blood
to save the lives of those brave
Americans who will shed their own
blood that we may remain free.
Literally, say, put your blood into
this worthy cause"
Norman Davis Accepts.
William Montgomery, president of
the Acacia Mutual Life Insurance
Co.. made the presentation of the
center, on the third floor of the

New Tidal Basin
Bridge: Open 70
2.Way Traffic
Connecting Roodwoys'
Completion Expected
In Three Weeks
Picture on. Page A-I2.)

The new Independence Avenue
Bridge over the Tidal Basin has
been opened to two-way trafic,
and the connecting system OF road.
ways, some Of which are not vet
ready, are expected to be finished
within three weeks. Work Is being
rushed on the remaining roadways.
The new trafnc artery already is
helping to, move the heavy rush
hour trafiic between Southwest and
Northwest Washington, diverting it
from crowded downtown streets.
This Is made possible by the more
direct connections now opened be-
tween the Rock Creek Potomac
Parkway road system and the road
leading over the new bridge into
Independence avenue and the new
Government building area in the
Southwest.
To Garry Eastbound Traffic.
The new bridge now is being used
for two way traff1c, but when the
west-bound roadway is finished
alongside the Tidal Basin, between
the new seawall, and the Paul Jones
Monument the bridge will be con-
fined to eastbound trafic.
The new seawall is virtually
finished along a line northward OF
the old seawall, and power shovels
are digging out the earth on the
Tidal Basin side of the seawall.
One of the reasons for the whole
new system of roadways is to pro-
vide connecting links between the
Highway Bridge and the Lincoln
Memorial Bridge, so that in case
one Of them were put out of COM
mission, traffic could be diverted
easily to the other. The new system
also will provide a direct highway
connection between Capitol Hill and
the Lincoln Memorial area, south
OF the Mall, diverting much traffic
from the streets north of the Mall.
Grade Separation Finished.
The new bridge itself, of con-
crete reinforced with steel and its
piers faced with stone, cost about
$3.50 900. The roadways, including
one overpass. cost about $1,000 900.
AN "AAoAS PAOJCSt nAiOQlu NC nCUIl1-
pleted in about three weeks, Capt.
H. C.. Whitehurst District highway
director, said. The grade separa-
tion is finished, the seawau is about
SO per cent completed.
The grade separation carries the
eastbound Independence avenue
roadway over single lane spur
road running southwark to con-
meet with the Fourteenth street
entrance to Highway Bridge.
The new independence avenue
on the south of the Mall, said Capt.
Whitehurst, sis now a companion
highway to Constitution avenue on
the north of the Mall"
Contract was let in July, 1912. but
work was delayed on account of
shortage OF timbers for preliminary
work. The' War- Reduction Board
once threatened, to- withhold the,
critical materials used in the bridge,
but permission finally was granted,
and the job went forward.

NEW YORK.
A sage old neWspaperman once
told a young writer that he never
would be without readers if he wrote
OF love, children, food or animals.
Playwrlghts depend especially on
the appeal of children, to brighten
dull plots.
The public has become accustomed
to stage children who are too pretty,
too bright, too talkative. But some
thing happened to this seasons
stage crop-and it was all to the
good.
The demise of brattishness may
be due less to the young actors and
actresses themselves than to the
playwrights and directors. For
youngsters like Joyce Van Patten
who seemed cut from the old pat
tern of precociousness in This
Rock" is both believable and likable
IN Tomorrow the World"
Skippy Homeier, who plays the 12-
year-old Nazi (his own age) in this
same play, became the overnight
sensation of the season. His part is
difficult, for he must not only take
on a credible German accent but
must express viciousness and even
sadism without hamming it. That
he is breathlessly successful, is
shown by the fact that many people
believe he actually is a Nazi and
ask how our Government allowed
him to come over here.
The Homeiers are of German ex
tractlon-but the family has been in
this country 800 years.
Neither mama nor papa Homeier
ever had given acting a second
thought until Skippy came along.
Like most youngsters now in Broad
way plays he started in radio. In
the past % months he has been

heard on more than 600 radio pro-
grams. Multiply 600 by $25 and
you'll get rough idea of how many
orange juices Skippy can buy-on
his radio work alone.
When Skippy went around to the
Ethel Barrymore Theater a few
months ago for rehearsals, he was an
unknown. Now, only a few weeks
later, he has star billings, has his

name in all the ads and is busy
with autograph hunters.
When the Drama League of New
York met to decide on awards for
outstanding performances for the
season, they created a special divi-
sion for Skippy. For excellence in
a. sustained emotional role by a
juvenile" 1t read; and blond, wiry
Skippy received it with large tears
of appreciation.
Skippy's Sunday-best name is
George Vincent Homeier and he is
an only child. His parents alternate
at the job of escorting him to the
theater from a comfortable suburban
home in Kew Gardens, Is minutes
by subway.
Now, to 8-year-old Joyce Van Pat

ten who plays the daughter OF the
professor, into whose home Emil
comes to wreak havoc. Joyce has
been a photographers model since
she was year old, and is always
acting. She has a handsome blond
brother, Dickie, who is the messenger
boy in Skin Of Our Teeth.".
Joyce is as much at home on the
stage as in her parents apartment.
Energetic, self-confident, she has
been in four other plays-"This
Rock" Loves Old Sweet Song"
"Popsy" and Family Honeymoon"
All the little boys who come in
voluntarily to Emil's party in the
play are experienced stage actors,
so much so that when one boy was
Evening star., 1943-06-17

absent, the others rearranged his
part, without adult help, dividing
all OF his lines between them.
Practically any play with kids on
Broadway these days is bound to
have few refugees from Life With
Father" (who have grown too tall
for their parts), and, sure enough,

party, is one who toured in the
Clarence Day classic.

about it. Opening night many of

then Clare came on and there was

well-established players got recep-
tions on their opening entrance.
On her last exit in the second act
