II like it very much. We started
to do it for the fun of it at the

we went to work on it in earnest and
it began to take shape. We did it in
Westport and lot of people liked
it and we decided to do it in New

the show and he's been very swell.
Our cast is full of health and
youth. All these kids are people I

termine, there is a definite trend
among the boby-soxers.
No War Result.
"They're growing up. Their out

But she and boy friend Audit

When Audie returned recently
from a tour of European combat

She elaborated a little, thereafter

she observed earnestly.
HE has been little reluctant
to speak about it publicly because,
you see, some adjustments have to

faster than Audie's. That's not
healthy in a marriage. That's why
there has been no formal announce

Wanda settled herself on a daven-
port, with her 12-year-old dog

At the moment her hair is red.
Normally it's brown. Not quite 20,
she projects a childish sweetness.
Her anomalous status as star
results from what studios call "a
careful buildup." This means, in
her case, that while she has been
seen only in supporting roles so far,
the publicity department has been
working overtime. She has made
seven pictures in three years.

income and Audie's. She thinks he'll
make it. Audie, it appears, is az
