3O,00O-mile tour of the Pacific thea
ter, Maj. Gen. Frederick H. Osborn,
U. S. army, director of the morale
services division, army service
forces, said that motion pictures
have proved an effective antidote to
the tension and physical strain of
battle, and that they are particular
ly welcome to men just returned
from the front.
His tour, which included 1.-The larg-
est motion picture circuit in his
tory" maintained by the overseas
motion picture service of army
service forces in the Pacific, proved
to him, he said, that "the Pacific
soldier is the most avid movie-goer
in the world"
The distribution of frst-run films
to the various fronts by air is on a
par with any similar commercial
operation, the general pointed out,
and came about because combat Of
ficers want their men to relax after
they come out of the lines. The
movie has proved to be the solution.

A screen against jungle backdrop
brings the soldier close to home
again."
The army service forces has ar
ranged to distribute films in rotation
to the combat areas of the Pacific,
after which they are routed to sup
porting units farther to the rear. In
this way, troops in actual combat
are the first to be shown the latest
of Hollywood's screen offerings. Also
given high priority for early show
ings are the wounded in hospitals.
Movies Take Him Home.
"The soldier wants to see pictorial
views of streets that remind him of
his home town, of people he might
meet on those streets; of women to
remind him of his mother, his wife;
his sweetheart; of ordinary happen
ings in which he will again partici-
pate.
This tremendous movie chains
value as good will factor is beyond
computation. In New Guinea, for
example, where Australian and
American soldiers fight side by side,
they sit down to see an American
film side by side. Our troops visit
Australian camps where the screen
is predominently American"
Newsreels, comedies, and musical
pictures are high on the G.I. hit
list. Soldiers dislike war pictures
with glorified heroes" General o.
born said.
'They like to see International
films, those that explain war STRAIT
egg and show real battle scenes. The
soldier is anxious to see what his
weapons can do. The army's why
We Fight series has immeasurably
bettered his understanding of issues
at stake. 'Snafu,' the cinema comic
of the Army-Navy Screen Magazine,
is a Pacific favorite.''
General Osborn included Austria
liza, New Guinea, New Zealand, New
Caledonia, Solomon Islands, New
Hebrides, New Georgia, Bougain-
vile, and Fiji in his 3O,OOO-mile tin
erary of the Pacific theater.
Il have seen tropical theaters
seating 5000 soldiers on wooden
benches, and 1000 sitting on crates
and logs and oil tins in an outdoor
excavation" he said.
Soldiers frequently sit in tropical
doWnpours for one and two hours
before showtime to enjoy run-of-
the-mill film made silent when the
sound track breaks down, and then
return the next night to see it again.
During alarms the men quietly
leave the theater and as quietly re-
sumo their seats afterward to see
the rest of the movie. While excava-
tons were under way on a New
Guinea base, a bulldozer was as
signed the priority detail of hollow
ing out the ground for an open-air
amphtheater.
Il have seen men watch a picture
from such a distance that the screen
was the size of a postage stamp,
and I have heard men grippe at a
poor show but sit through it to the
end. With several pictures playing
on various bases on an island, men
were known to walk nightly many
miles around the entire island until
they had seen all the pictures.

sions. The average admission is IA
cents, and any profit derived there
from goes toward expanding the
service.
Ever since the declaration of war,
as special favor to servicemen,
pictures playing the army circuit
have, as a rule, preceded showings
in commercial theaters except
where these showings conflicted with
exhibition contracts of movie thea
tiers near the camps. Servicemen
unfamiliar with required trade prac-
tees, complain at times because
they see pictures in these CONNER
cial theaters before the camp movie
houses show them.
The navy does not experience this
difficulty because, generally speak,
ing, its pictures are shown free on
shipboard or, in some instances, for
a small admission at naval stations,
the profits going toward improving
and expanding the service.
Old Films Shown at First.
When the conflict broke suddenly
after Pearl Harbor, we were Just
as unprepared for maintaining a
worldwide entertainment program
as we were for global combat. The
first expeditionary forces that left
for the South Pacific took along 1000
old l6-mm. pictures purchased in the
open market, which were the only
films of that size available at the
time. Later, when the African ex-
petition sailed, similar war de-
partment purchase was made. And
further complications were added
through the indiscriminate buying of
old films and portable equipment by
embarking troop units as large as
battalions, all striving to meet an
entertainment emergency.
Although the army has been able
to recall all but 300 of these old
films, those still in circulation de-
spite of efforts to recover them,
combined with the unauthorized l6-
nm. films remaining overseas, add
up to sizeable headache. Service
men who still sit through these old
programs complain loudly.
Another source of complaint lies
in the wartime dislocation abroad
of the commercial motion picture in
dustry. In such battle-blasted areas
as Sicily, films as ancient as Rim
Tin-Tin are often featured in local
theaters for outrageous admission
prices. But this is not strange, con-
sidering that Mussolini barred
American films in Italy in 1888. No
new pictures have been shipped into
Italian territory since, excepting
those supplied through the motion
picture industry's gift service. The
16-mm. gift films, however, are now
going overseas at the rate of 159
prints of three new programs each
week. New combat zone circuits are
being added rapidly and projection
facilities are improving and increas-
ing. This means that film shows in
all theaters of war, barring the in
evitable descriptions and annoyances
occasioned by battle action, are
bound to achieve state of diminish
ing complaints and rising perfection.
