ness to be transferred from his war
time job to Special Service, and
there will naturally be great ex-
pansion of film distribution by the
Army overseas Motion Picture
Service.
The program also includes live,
professional entertainment which
throughout the war has been pro-
vided by USO Camp Shows, Inc.
USO Camp Shows is setting up
to continue its operation for at
least two years after the war. The
Hollywood Victory committee is
concentrating now on sen d n G
screen personalities into the 80
army and navy general hospitals
on the Camp Shows circuit.
l wonder how much the public
knows the extent to which Holly
wood and the motion picture indus
try have been converted to war
effort. Your neighborhood movie
has continued to have films to show
There has been nc such violent up
heaval as in the case of companies
that changed from manufacturing
household equipment to making
machine gun mounts Perhaps it
looks as though Hollywood were one
place which has gone OIL with "busi-
ness as usual"
Actually Hollywood has had the
same experience as San Diego,
Wichita or Cleveland. With more
than third of its $1,000 male
workers in the armed forces, the
manpower problem has become
studio executives favorite night
mare.
Then, along with the regular griSt
of entertainment. Hollywood has
been turning cut training films.
Colonel Frank Capra-wno used to
be conSid rable asset to Hollywood
recently told me that his Signal
Corps film unit has 81 training and
orientation films in production.
Also, studies have trained men for
such vital war tasks as photograph
ing battle action to provide tactical
information on which combat plans
are based.
The principal difference between
Hollywood and some other places is
that HollywCOd'S war job will out
last the war.
