Brian Donlevy Surprised
Personnel With Welcome
Visit to Station

On March 5, or thereaouts, mo-
ton picture actor Brian Donlevy
came here on a surprise visit with
the boys" at Meas. The star was
escorted around the base by a group
Of enlisted men. He visited various
hangers, shops, and schools and
chatted informally with all whom
he contacted.
Everyone was completely surprised
and genuinely delighted upon seeing
the smiling, broad-shouldered Don
levy. Mechanics, instructors and
crewmen enthusiastically explained
the operations of Marine aviation
unit. He was accompanied by Capt.
Ben Finney, MarFair West Recrea-
ton and Athletic Officer.

Lively "Show-Boaf on Wheel"
Was Center Of Base Controversy

One Of the most talked about
stage shows to appear at Meas was
the Shell Oil Company Show Boat
on Wheels" which played here Mar.
2. 1t was a lively and tuneful show
and the men and women Of the
base stamped their approval upon
it by calling for encore after encore.
The program ran the gamut Of
entertainment from boogie-woogie
piano to hot harmonica numbers;
from comedy to mystery; from the
vocal selections of the charming
songstress Bonnie Brier, to the vocal
calisthenics of that famous woman
ventriloquist and mistress OF cere-
monies, Lucille Elmore.
Yet, the risque jokes and dances
raised the ladylike ire of one WR

Lovely Stars Take
Over Station to
Entertain Marines
CarOle Landis, Starlets
Get REFUSING Ovation for
Lively, Sparkling Day

Long will marines remember
sparkling and curvacious Carole
lands when she, accompanied by
Hollywood starlets, Maxine Fife and
Yvonne DeCarlo came to entertain
the fellows on Thursday, March 80.
She received a rousing Marine
welcome and thunderous ovation for
the two performances she gave in
the evening at the station theater.
She was dressed in a beautiful DOW
der blue gown, and crooned blues
numbers by the score, then she
changed to light pink street.
length dress to cut rug with a few
of the men.
Bubbling over with zip and per-
sonality, Carole won many admirers
for herself because Of her versatil-
ity.
Miss Lands, with the starlets,
made tour of the base, chatting
with the boys and giving auto
graphs. LtCol. Karl E. VoeIter and
Col. r. NJ Haynes met the visitors
and accompanied them on their
tour.
First Rate Band
Sharing the spotlight with the
star was Miramar Air Depot Band
which arrived at the base early in
the afternoon. Led by their high
stepping drum major, Corp. Orley
Shambert, the band, composed Of
sixty men, played as they marched
on parade past the administration
building and around a goodly por-
ton of the base.
A swing band, selected from mem
bers of the larger group and under
the leadership of TSgt. Hank Weir,
former trumpeter with Gene Krupa,
played at both performances, and
sweeter music was never heard at
Meas.

 It beats us how this little group ever finds time to rehearse, what with each one working a different shift. (Did I hear someone say do they ever rehearse? Come now, are you friend or enemy?)

 Musical rhapsodies, books, and poems have been written about the bee, the industrious little creature that buzzes about his business and harms no one unless his energetic routine is disturbed.
 We're thinking poems, books, and ballads should also be written about the chaperone, who probably spends more time sitting than buzzing around, but whose indispensable presence has assured the success of the Clubs outside dances.
 These gracious ladies, who have given a personal, homelike flavor to what might have been chilling public affairs, have devoted many of their own leisure hours to the formal and informal dances held at Union Hall and the Scottish Rite Temple.
 Prominent among these latter day duennas is Mrs. William By ington, who was 'top-kick" during the fall and winter and is now enjoying a brief respite. Mrs. Erma Novel; (did you hear her radio debut fortnight ago in Watch on the Rhine"?) has responded generously whenever we have called upon her. Mrs Fred Geeslin not only chaperones but coaches the more uncertain of foot in the Clubs dancing classes.
 Mrs. c. s. Swagerty, Mrs. Sid Thompson, and Mrs. Edna Lomen have all been with us on more than one occasion Mrs James Shell would probably agree that she is not exactly the same sort of chap erone as the others, but she takes awfully good care of the punch from the time it is strong tea base until it is ladled into the cups of the thirsty terpsichoreans.
 Until the proper ode is written, perhaps this will do to tell the ladies how much they have help ed us.

Mr.. Roosevelt will make his last

A day in the Hudson Valley Mon

Presidential Secretary Stephen T
Early said he thought the President
in his speech tonight, would discuss
the reasons which prevented him
from making second campaign
tour into the Midwest.
1t was explained a few days ago
that political advisers chose the
New England tour in preference to
one into Ohio and Michigan when
the President said that the press of
business would make it impossible
for him to cover both sections.
Political advisers had wanted him to
go to Cleveland and Detroit as well

The Japanese admirals guessed
wrong on Americas naval strength

w. Nimitz is going to keep them in

Yesterday, amphfying a previous

Such information, Mimitz

action.
