highlight a holiday stage and screen
show to be held 9 am. next Friday
in Loew's Capitol Theater with
about 1850 Star carriers as the

Thief" an MGM all-technicolor
comedy, starring Fred Astaire and
Lucille Bremen.
Offering a flock of new tunes for
Fred and Lucille to sing and dance
to, the story tells a humor- filled
tale of a slick crook and an heiress
whom he tries to fleece by posing
as her guardian angel" Much of
the action takes place on a train
In the mythical state of Patria. A
big deal Fred has in fire Is some

It is collection of articles that
Kahn (then a warrant officer) and

Army wanted the people Of this

wore, where they had been, what
they had done, and how well they
had accomplished their missions.

South Pacific with the infantry
This love for the infantry (and only
infantry will ever understand how
a man can become so attached to
the queen of battles) enabled us to
write about 80 divisions with only
enough information at our finger
tips-to cover our finger tips.
We didn't have too much trouble
with the Pacific divisions. Kahn
