ty-two celebrities of one variety or
another participate in this glittering
charade, a pot-pourri that includes
everything from the music of Cow
boy Roy Rogers to that of Rimsky-
Korsakoff. In showing how it has
entertained the boys, and with the
high hope of entertaining you, Hol-
lywood has stopped at nothing in
making this film. At times, you may
find yourself wishing it had not been
so generous, but it is hardly to be
denied that Hollywood Canteen"
has something for everybody except
those too impatient to wait for their
favorite entertainer to turn up In 1t.
Delmer Dawes, who wrote the
original stage Door Canteen"
story, is the engineer OF its success
sor. AS a Hollywood citizen. he is
not to be condemned for apparently
setting out to prove that when it
comes to canteens, HollyWood's def
nitely is it. This time he was direc-
tor as well as writer and he had no
trouble inducing virtually every one
on Warner Bros payroll, along
with a number of others, to collab-
crate with him.
Hollywood Canteen," as did its
predecessor, undertakes to escape
the effect of being just a gigantic
variety show with acts ranging from
a trained horse to Joseph Szigettt,
who is billed as the worlds greatest
violinist. 1t does not escape that
effect, however, for Mr.. Dawes story
is not that big and probably could
not be.
1t is once more the one about the
soldier - wounded this time - and
the starlet with whom he falls in
love. The soldier is Robert Hutton
and the girl is Joan Leslie and they
thread their way through the long
film as if they had no notion how
often they are being submerged by
the eXtraneous entertainment which
is injected into it.
Their Interruptions. which some-
times are much better than the story,
come from some of the most glittering
figures in the land of make-believe.
Bette Davis, Tor instance, is mistress
of ceremonies, which she also is IN
the real life version of the canteen
in Hollywood. A few of the hostesses
who account for other diverting in
terludes include Joan Crawford,
Barbara Stanwyck, Irene Manning,
Faye Emerson and Alexis Smith.
They merely lend their glamorous
presence for the most part, as do
number of male stars in the roles
of canteen hosts.
An endless array of specialties also
serves to take the spotlight off the
romantic thread Of Hollywood Can
teen" One effective specimen of the
sort is a passage in which Violinist
Szigetti and Comedian Jack Benny,
a violinist of sorts, indulge in hu-
merous duel centering around The
Flight of the Bundle Bee Another
