NEW 4okth.
On the battlefield, a soldiers
worst enemy wears a uniform, and
packs a gun. At home, he may
wear a grocery clerks white apron
and have the friendliest intentions
in the world.
If the disabled veteran comes
into the store, buys groceries and
on the way out drops them from
his artificial arm, the clerk can do
more harm than barrage of bullets
by rushing over to pick up the par
GELS. He's undermining the soldiers
self reliance, so carefully built up
before he was discharged from the
hospital.
That's why the American Theater
Wing has started campaign to
tell every one from taxi drivers to
chambermaids the dos and don'ts
of dealing with returned service
men-particularly the wounded or
disabled.
Drive Started in Capital.
Through union groups, trade as
sociations and employe clubs. the
Wing is sending It's message via
specially trained speakers, who pass
on the advice given by Army and
Navy doctors on the proper civilian
attitude. The speakers gear that
message to the everyday contin-
gencies that might arise in the life
of cab driver, elevator man, sales
woman, bartender, or any one of
a hundred other groups that will
be meeting the disabled veteran in
the normal course of business.
The campaign, built around good
manners and common sense, origi-
mated in Washington, where Wing
speakers already have reached more
than 10000 people. The Philadel-
phia branch Is getting its campaign
under way, and New York has made
its first step with the preparation of
talk by Actor Stoats Cotsworth,
aimed specifically at bartenders.
Bartenders are easy. Cotsworth
found, and just naturally carry out
the all-important attitude, treat
the disabled veteran just as you
would any one else"
THE good barman can be relied
upon in nine cases out of ten to do
and say the right thing to dis
abled veteran at his bar Cotsworth
said in a sample speech to group
of union officials.
But unless he's fortified with
knowledge. and certain facts, he's
going to be unprepared to cope with
a wide variety of situations which
can and will crop up through no
fault of his. There will be other
people at his bar, other people who
didn't fight the war, and who aren't
thinking about those who did until
they notice that the boy standing
next to them has hook instead
of q hand"

down his self confidence and wreck
his morale.
The Importance of keeping that
morale and self-reliance at a high
pitch, even for veterans who return
without physical or mental wounds,
also is demonstrated in the New
York Wings playlet. The Way Back
Home" by Esther Hawley.
The l0-minute drama will be per-
formed for hundreds OF service
mems wives clubs, community, busi-
ness and professional groups. 1t
explains the need for a family's ad-
justment to a veterans adjustment
period. and shows how an over
solicitous. uncomprehending wife
can turn typical veterans restless
ness into a large-scale family prob
lem. A Wing speaker will go out
with each troupe to lead discus
sions after each performance.
Performed by the Wings Victory
Players, without scenery or props,
the sketch also will be done by the
Philadelphia branch's players, and
will probably be availablet to anna
teur dramatic groups.

"A Goose for the Gander," starring
Gloria Swanson and Conrad Nagel,

quite agree whether 1t was the worst
play of the season.

life after seeing European action

Dos and Don'ts

NEW YORK.
The American Theater Wing,
after conferences with Army
and Navy medical experts, has
compiled these dos and don'ts
for all who may come in con-
tact with disabled veterans:
BE normal, meet him nor
mally and treat him normally.
2-Forget the wounds; re-
member the man.
3-Forget the word cripple,
both as a term and as a condi-
ton.
4-Don't be oversolicitous,
but, equally, don't be controlled
to the point of seeming indiffer-
ence.
5-Acknowledge his injury or
Disagreement; admit that it's
tough, then 60 on from there,
admiring his handling of the
situation.
6-Be prepared to see and ac-
cept without undue comment
prosthetic hands and legs, and
learn to use the word prosthetic
instead of artificial.
Never say ut could have
been worse"
8-Avoid questions about in
juries or decorations. Remem-
ber. every medal or Purple Heart
cost a bitter price. Don't bring
back painful memories.
9-When he talks about his
experiences, listen with interest,
but don't ask for more details
than he wants to give.
l0-If he is an amputee, or
has an injured limb, or has
been blinded, don't rush to do
things for him. He wants to be,
and has been trained to be self
reliant. Let him get or do
things for you.
11-Remember that his ad-
justment to Army life was
shared by others in the same
bewildered state, but that his
return to civilian life, a more
difficult adjustment, is made
alone. If he Is puzzled, or
frightened or moody or irrita-
BILE, be patient and give him
time.
12-Don't thank him in words
for his contribution to freedom:
let your actions prove your
gratitude.

After searching every library in

tant picture.
Came day in 1914 when a penny
postcard dropped into the mailbox
of Yordan's Hollywood bachelor
apartment. The American Negro
theater group wanted to produce
Anna Lucasta.' but couldn't afford
royalties. He wrote back that If
it would cost him nothing, they
could produce it.
The Harlem presentation raised
furore of enthusiasm. Yordan
went back and touched up the play
before 1t went to Broadway with the
original cast.
