and girl friends to our shows, put
them in the best seats while en-
listed men stand up, or don't get
in to see the show at all"
And then, in speaking of the en-
listed men, she said: '"They are
pretty wonderful boys and its just
too bad that they suffer because
of the inequity and rank snobbery
at some camp. Once 1 refused to
go on until the lads who were
standing on crutches in the rear
were brought down front and the
officers and their ladies ousted
from the best seats in the house"
1t isn't likely that a night club
singer knows better than the Army
how to run its training camps. And
for woman who is supposed to
be building morale, such unofficial
criticism and loose talk certainly
does more to tear down morale
than to build it up.
1t seems as though it might be a
good idea if Army camp enter
tainers were heard only at the
Army camps-and not after they
get home from their trips, anxious
to get a little more publicity.
