Little more than a year ago the
superintendent of schools in a small
Pennsylvania town wrote to the Rev
DR.. John w. Rustin. pastor of the
Mount Vernon Place Methodist Epis-
copal Church at Massachusetts, ave-
nut and Ninth street NV. He
wanted to know something about
the program j. Edgar Hoover, in an
article in the Christian Advocate
of May, 1943, called an inspiring
example of what church can dc
in a downtown area of potentially
high juvenile delinquency"
Mr.. Hoover had mirrored the "in-
terest groups within age groups
principle forming the basis of the
church's living appeal. Community
boys and girls clubs, dramatic and
handicraft groups, Saturday night
concerts in front of the church
originating as entertainment for
adults Of the neighborhood and
turning into parents and children's
gatherings, and Sunday attractions
all contribute to the effectiveness of
the church's program.
Programs, furniture, rooms and
ideas are nicely synchronized to fit
the interests of every age group
The younger children have q mini
ature chapel where services for
them alone, conducted by the Rev.
Lloyd H. Snyder, jr., are held. A
class for young married couples has
proved extremely popular, while q
mems forum discusses problems per-
tinent to state, home and church.

A group of $50 forward looking

the little frame church on P street
between Fourteenth and Fifteenth

non Place Church was conceived by
its pastor, DR.. w. v. Tudor. Stand

so it proved to be.
Fifty years later the body moved
into its present structure, q tribute
to the vision and energy of Bishop
Warren A. Gambler, who had as
early as 1895 convinced the General
Conference held at Birmingham,
Ala, Of the tangible results to be

In typical Bob Hope jocundity a
naval officer is "the only COB who
can bend over with his pants on"
while the infantry's coat of arms is
"a lot of crossed bunions on a field
of fallen arches"
The r,lmba, says Bob, who makes
up his own definitions as he goes
along, is where the front of you
stands at attention while the back
of you makes like it's going over an
obstacle course" while sarongs are
"the things Dorothy Lamour wears
which comply with the Government
regulation, withholding 20 per cent. I"
An Army lieutenant is "a guy
who's tougher than a top sergeant
because he's always going around
with chip on his shoulder" Bing
Crosby is "a buxom breeder of bank
rupt bangtails," and nearby Term
inal Island naval base is "a body of
men completely surrounded by pin
up girls"
While in North Africa recently on
a service camp tour, Hope said it
was so hot "the airplanes called
Mustangs came into the landing
fields with their tongues hanging
out" and aviation mechanics, he
learned, "are guys you can't trust
with your car because If you leave
it around a flying field you'll see it

Variety in Britain consists of
what must be one of the worlds
most curious combinations of slick
entertainers and utter hams, but
1t is a money-maker, and its en-
thusiasts tell you that 1t Is headed
for postwar boom.
It offers q mixture of vaudeville
restricted nudity, bits Of burlesque
and a few items that defy classifica-
ton.
The Stage, British trade paper,
asserts editorially that the standing
of variety never has been more
assured than 1t is now" adding:
"It is true that charges of vul-
garity are now and again made
against individual performers. So
far as honest vulgarity is concerned
it is noe of the functions of variety
to promote popular fun. AS for any
other sort, the proportion of artists
guilty Of any real improperly would
not reach ! per cent"
Variety returned to the West End
early last fall at the Palladium
and the run was interrupted In
November only because Of the neces-
sity Of finding a temporary home fol
