Here's a new kind of
therapy - it makes the

0UT in Hollywood new form of
entertainment therapy is being
developed and it is having miracu-
lous results.
The Los Angeles Chapter of the
American Red Cross has branch
called the Camp and Hospital Enter
tainment Committee. It's run by
group of theatrical ladies who organ
ize 40 hospital shows a month.
One of their specialized units
- comedian, singer and pianist
is assigned to the psychO-
neurotic cases. The entertainers
move informally from ward to ward,
playing for men whose minds were
wounded. The comic is usually a
loud, boisterous man. Subtle humor
doesn't go over, but slapstick often
does. And laughter is a necessity.

any song man may request.
These men want to remember the
past. want to hear the songs of their
youth When a man can remember
the past wildly. he loses his fear of
the nebulous future.
Take the case of the tired kid who
had been a singer and guitar player.
He had caught eight bullets in his
spine. They'd carry him into the
recreation hall on a stretcher. His
eyes would be glued to the ceiling.

The beauticians tried to argue that II they
couldn't get together to swap the latest beauty
secrets, our American womanhood would wind up
as hags. They would look like the very devil. and
when the fighting boys saw their pictures they
would wonder what they were fighting for-and
morale would be destroyed.
wish to nterpolate at this point that Mir
Charles Prns, of ODT, is a very brave man. 1t was
his job to answer the beauticians, and he done it
noble.
Mr.. Prins replied he thought quite number
of our American girls looked okay when the boys
went away, although they were doubtless taking
beauty treatments now outdated. He said he fig
ured they could struggle along with the old meth.
