Private LOeSSer
Reveals Secrets
OF a Song Writer
~ the Associated Press

NEW YORK:
Frank Loesser, very routine
private doing strictly unroutine
Army work, figures every discourag-
ing job he ever held contributes to
his present eminence as one Of the
Nations top song writer.
Pvt. Frank once was a bother for
an insecticide company, a spot
washer in a restaurant. a process
server, cartoonist, waiter and practi-
tioner of dozens of other lower
case careers before his songs started
rolling.
Now they include such hits as
"Praise the Lord and Pass the Am
munition," Small Fry Says My
Heart" Two Sleepy People" Il
Don't Want to Walk Without You,
Baby" They're Either Too Young
or Too DID," and dozens more, in
cluding a pretty little bit of
nostalgia, currently putting young
couples in a tender mood, entitled
"Spring Will Be a Little Late This
Year"
Franks song writing psychology Is
the same, he says, as a successful
novelist's: You must work your way
through a considerable collection of
emotions in order to mirror cor
rectly the feelings of the audience
which sings songs.
They sing what appeals most to
their collective moods, which is why
love and sorrow make up most of
the tune TOPICS" says Frank. And
certainly, I've run the gamut of
everything all the public might be
thinking about.
Even from a career standpoint,
I'm glad I'm in the Army. How else
could I have realized the correct
state of mind of the fellows in
uniform? Believe me, they'll be a
major section of the singing and
song-buying public when the wars
over"
Frank Is in the special services
division, writing songs for service
shows and general Army entertain
ment.

That Fall Radio Job Worries Mr.. Morgan

Isured Frank that the program would
be the best ever.
Now I don't know about that
said Frank. They're making me

so long on the Fanny Brice show
Remember Jack Pearl? He used to
tell such stories and then, boom
overnight he wasn't on the radio
any more"
I asked Morgan what the night
before a first night in the theateI
was like.
Il get your point-you mean I'm
unnecessarily nervous and appre-
hensive. I'm lucky. I get lot OF
help-help from people like Gosder

said. She may as we'll go into the
theater. she's no good at anything
else, anyway"
Like SO many other American
actresses, she had to 60 to London
to become a big success. True, she
was featured on Broadway, but she
wasn't the toast Of the town until
after she returned from England.
Sir Gerald du Maurier cabled an
offer of role in The Dancers" and
Tallulah cabled her acceptance and
told all her friends that she was
going to do a play in London. Every
thing was running smoothly until
three days before the sailing when
she received a second cable telling
her not to come. Tallulah pretend
ed to have left America before the
cable arrived and 10 days later she
showed up in Sir Gerald's Office.
What are you doing here?" he
asked with some astonishment. And
Tallulah answer, ."You sent for me,
didn't you?" Though the part in
tended for the 17-year-old American
actress had been given to another
girl, Tallulah read the part and her
competitor was given so pounds a
week for the run of the play, but
never appeared in it once. Tallulah
was sensation. She remained in
England for eight years. The rest
is history.
The Idleness Annoys.
Before the war she hobnobbed
with high society in all the Euro
pean countries, but If you want to
see her really happy you have to
visit her on her 16-acre farm just
outside New York City. 1t has, as
she says, fields, lake, and a big,
rambling, comfortable house. I
stayed there most of the time be-
tween my last two pictures. It's the
only place I ever missed in my life,
and though I'm becoming fond of
Hollywood, just can't see myself
living here permanently.

the great abundance of most foods
in Normandy. 1t was a simple mat
ter for farmers to report fewer
COWS or hogs than thehy really had
to French authorities-Who made it
a point not to be too inqisitive.
AS a result, food in Normandy
remains incredibly plentiful-espec-
tally when judged on English-stan-
dards. Meats, furits, chesses,
sugar, butter and vegetables are
extremely plentiful Most impor-
tant reason for this is, of course,
that there is no communication be-
tween Normandy and the rest of
France. So everything raised here
- and this is one of the world S
richest agricultural regions stays
here perforce.
The main shorta ges are bread,
shoes and some regional wines. The
bread ration is currently $50 grams
per person per day. The German
ratio nranged between 200 and SOC
grams, depending on a person s
age and type of work The liquor
shortage, notably the famed Calva-
dos brandy, stems from Nazi pro-
hibition on dislilleing more than
very limited amounts.
Two out of three Normans one
sees today are wearing wooden
shoes. This is the conclusive an
sWer to those who have taken one
look and proclaimed the French
well-dressed despite four years of
occupation. Those who know
France well explain the mistaken

NORMANDY NOTEBOOK, July
23-Inevitably a certain number of
French girls went out with German
soldiers. When the Allies arrived,
the girls contemptuous anti-Nazi
peers decreed the same punish
ment almost everywhere: complete
shaving of the girls' heads.
Many of the Inundated girls
have taken to wearing turbans. So
in one Norman village at least,
turbans are definitely out of fash
ION. There it is universally assum-
ed that a woman who wears a tur-
ban must have something to hide.
In another town, one woman who
got a resistance haircut" swore
revenge. The Germans would be
back, she said Then she would
get even with those who had sham
ed her and shaved her head.
The Germans did, in fact, come
back. Not in person, but by their
artillery, which sought out Allied
troops in the village. And one of
the first German shells to land
revengefully in town killed the
Slorn girl.
Touchingly dramatic incidents
come to light every day as French
patriots behind the enemy lines
continue to do all in their power
to held the Allied cause. Oza re-
cent story concerns a paratroop
plane which crashed behind the
German lines. The citizens of the
nearest town rushed to the planes
Wreckage, found all aboard dead.
They carefully removed all docu-
nents from the plane and from the
dead soldiers. They carried the
men to the local churchyard and
buried them.
Led by the mayor himself, al
most everyone in town went to the
funeral. AL brought flowers. But

graves invite German suspicion

buried in the coffins on the dead
soldiers breasts.
French reaction to the magnifi-
cent American equipment which is
rolling in increasing tens of thou
sads over the narrow Norman
roads is both significant and en-
couraging. The Normans shake
