FOR VARIETY and quantity,
the Palms-State holds the corner
on entertainment this week with
Hollywood Canteen," in which
stars, stars and still more stars
appear fleetlngly for speciality
acts, only to turn the stage over
to other colleagues.
The scene is Hollywood's fa-
NOUS canteen for servicemen,
founded under the leadership of
Bette Davis and John Garfield
and in the Aim, presided over by
the same energetic pair.
Joan Leslie, Robert Hutton and
Dane Clark have the only fea-
tured roles, while everyone else
plays himself in a background of
authenticity and fairly clever con-
trivlng.
A BIT OF A STORY
Holding all the entertainment
together is a bit OF story, with
Hutton as serviceman who
wishes only one thing - 10 kiss
Topping his good fortune, Hut

following night just in time TO
be the millionth CT visitor and
thereby receives a heap Of gifts,

Romance
In Spotlight

LOVE. AND plenty of II. is the
attraction in The Very Thought
of Yeti, A fHFleugh- romance at
the Michigan.
When Dennis Morgan and Dane
Clark find life in the States
changed after their two years In
the Aleutians, they decide they
would rather have a couple dates
instead of old college friends,
anyhow. The first attractive girls
they run across will do, so Eleanor
Parker and Faye Emerson, whom
they find returning from work, tit
right into plans.
Each undertakes squirting one
of the beautiful but reluctant
damSels home, and the next scene
finds Morgan ushered into the
midst of Eleanor's family Of
meanies. which eXpiodes into a
series of temper tantrumS and
practically Gshers Morgan out OF
the house with an unwelcome sign.
wHIRLwIND CoURTsH1P
Parental objections notwith-
standing, the two manage ro-
mantle interlude at Faye's war
time bungalow and a whirlwind
courtship winds up with the JUS
tice of the peace on the eve Of
Morgan'S return TO camp
This isn't an elaborate or highly
original story but. up TO this stage,
its sentiment is handled sympa-
thetically and with ease.
Why the advent of marriage
should saddle the script writer's
mind is a matter Of conjecture,
but, al any rate, the family does
its best TO break things up, with
holding letters and kilograms. So,
after a 24-hour reunion preceding
Morgan's return overseas, Eleanor
goes to live with Faye and await
the arrival of a baby.
WOUNDED IN ACTION
The very obvious procedure now
being TO exc few tears Of joy
and sorrow, Morgan is reported
wounded in action the day his heir
arrives and the family becomes
so taken up with the addition that
il forgives and forgets and daugh-
ter goes back to live with her
parents until the husbands return.
A uniformly good cast does the
most with what il can in this do
mestic confusion but Dane Clark
brightens up any dull or senti-
mental spot with deft ability for
wise cracking CT sort of humor.
