cast, and we do mean accumulate. Major Bowes invaded Bradley at just about the right time and, from his candidates, three were "hook- ed" for the Battle of Bradley; Cpl. Virginia Smith, S/Sgt. Pete Luddy and Sgt. Jim Luddy. Fer reted from their various daily dut- ies to participate as principals in the show were also, S/Sgt. Hank Holzheimer and It. Robert Thomp- son who had already trod before the footlights.
 Where the other principals, Cpl. Bani Badaukas, T/Sgt. Bill Ward and MT. Joe Seaha, of WACKY JOE'S got their experience-we aren't saying, but it didn't hurt the show anyway. For at least a month the principals, plus large and imposing cast of sub-princi- pals, sub-sub principals, a Wac Chorus and a stage manager gent ly referred to as a character, re- hearsed night after night. Soon the cast began to get weary: was all this practice and rehearsing worth it?
 Tension ran high, but in the tra- dition of the theatre the "show must go on." And it finally did at the Windsor Locks USO, 4 Feb ruary 1914. The cast went to bed that night with the exclamation of the audience ringing in their ears.
 The show was presented eleven times including hospital shows, Bond rallies and G.I. performances with a super-special New York per formance at Stage Door Canteen.

 Navigator Holds Key Job in Fortress


 bomber has an importance that is multiplied by the number of planes he leads into battle. He is the top man on the totem pole. If he fails, in his endless figuring with maps and compasses and drift meters doesn't add up right, every ship flying over Germany that day fails with him. The success of mission and the safety of nine men in a plane worth third of a million rest on pin point navigation. When you're flying through the clouds in B-17 or B-24, never seeing the earth and your celestial navigation is blotto because there isn't any sun and no stars, then the tightrope walker of the sky. the navigator :. is the most important gent in the airplane.
 Getting there and getting there on time are the chief goals of the navigator. Previously arranged rendezvous with fighters whose gas is rationed will not come about if the big bombers do not arrive on the second decided upon before they leave the ground.
 ESQUIRE tells few hair-rais- ing stories of the action of naviga- tors in the European theater. One concerns the Fortress Chief Sly, which was heavily damaged over France and forced to leave forma- tion. As it dived into a cloud to lick it's wounds, a final burst from the incendiary machine-gun of a Focke- Wulf caught the navigator in the leg. Fearful that the plane was going to crash, he crawled through the narrow hatchway leading from the nose into the tiny radio room. As he lay bleeding on the floor the pilot called through the interphone for heading. Eff teen feet from his charts and un- able to move, the navigator, Lt. Paul c. Burnett, gave directions from memory and the Chief Sly made it to England lon course" Capt.

Just as all good things come to an end (ike Jimmy Durante's nose or a furlough) so did "The Battle of Bradley" This, and we bow our curly G.I. locks in sadness, is the last word on the "BOB", an obit- uary on our musical comedy-may it rest in peace.
 Like all self-respecting obituar- ies this one must give an account of the honorable life of the de- ceased. We start our story with a Wac (and personally we can't think of better way to begin) and a Special Service Office. It seems as if the Special Service Office had a yen to put on something really different with local talent. A thor ough search was started and a young lady with theatrical exper- fence and ideas was discovered. She was Pfc. Mildred Toussaint. Shortly thereafter Pfc. Toussaint came across one TISgt. Carl Rice, a former theatrical coach,, and the two went into a huddle with the SSO. Tn less time than it takes to figure out what QED means the two co-authors had conceived two acts with thirteen scenes and call ed them "The Battle of Bradley" :" Between gulps of black coffee and spongy doughnuts, TSgt. Rice managed to knock out (practically literally thirteen original songs; employing a fellow here and there to assist in the lyrics. That's all there was to it, the two explain.
 Next job for the SSO and the co-authors was to accumulate a
