This One Best OF All

But never has she surrounded
herself with quite as imposing a
cast as she has in this out
standing revival of the Russian
classic, The Three Sisters"
Few actresses have the cour-
age to risk the rivalry of invit-
ing such stars as Ruth Gordon
and Judith Anderson TO share the
stage with her, but one of the
great qualities about our leading
lady is her desire for the final
result, with no thought of per-
sonal cost.
Herein constitutes her unaS-
sailable position. She feels that
what is fine in the theater is
fine for her. because she loves
her profession with an undying
love.

as was certified later by official
credit.
1t was few days after that
battle that we had an official photo

flight deck. Though Barton was still
listed as crew member, not
Squadron member, we saw to it that
he was in the picture, his clean white
cap matching the brilliance of his
teeth. Back of the Squadron was
our banner, huge canvas with the
Squadron insignia on it and the
markings for 43 Jap planes destroyed
in battle.
