LOW RANK VETS
CAN NOW ENLIST

"Recent changes have eased
the restriction on the enlistment
of veterans who for various rea-
sons, were not promoted during
their prior service" Cpl. Cub"
Thornton Jr., recruiter for this
area. announced here this week.
Heretofore, a man could not
re-enliSt unless he had achieved
certain rank while in service.
There have also been many vet
erans who tried to re-enlist, but
could not make a sufficient score
on the classification test. Require
ments on that test are now so low
that almost any posSessor of an
honorable discharge can pass.
GIVE had dozens of ex-service-
men approach me during past
months concerning re-enlistment," "
Cpl. Thornton explained, "but
regulations in effect at that time
wouldn't permit their acceptance.
Now they are eligible, and 1 want
those men to know that they can
get into the army or the Air
Force.
"UnlesS married man can
qualify for return as a Sergeant,
or similar rank in the Air Force
he cannot be enlisted, but single
veterans can have their choice of
service, and in many cases, their
choice of assignment" Thornton
stated. W.
Cpl. Thornton is available at all
hours, and on weekends to answer
questions of those interested in
the service. Appointments can be
made with him by calling 82-15O5.

FANG MUSIC FESTIVAL
BY EZEKIEL cLEARE

Your columnist has Just re-
turned from FAMC's Department
OF MuSic'S third annual Music
FESTIVAL which. was held in Tai
lahASSee on the state college cam
plS. Various high school choirs
throughout the state attended.
On Friday, May 2, the college
symphonic band was in concert
at Lee auditorium with William
r. Foster, conducting and DR.. Err
nest Harris, guest conductor. The
program was as follows:
Overture 1912 by Tchiakevsky
March, Colossus of Columbia by
Alexander. Jesu, Joy of Mans
Desiring (from Cantata l47) by
Bach, Bolero by Mozkowski, Mis-
souri, Shindig by Owen Reed, Tap
Roots by Skinner.
The 1872 Overture was written
IN 1880 for a musical festival or
CANNED in Moscow by Nicholas
RubSnStein. The work is descrip-
tive Of the events of 1912, when
Napoleon, after his victory at
Borodin. marched on Moscow
with his armies.
%leSu, Joy Of Mans Desiring
Is said to be one Of the best
known of Bach's musical settings.
Il IS especially popular in num-
eroaS transcriptions. The sBo-
lero" is brisk Spanish dance In
three quarter time. It's character
istic rhythm is the rhythm Of the
caSfanetS, which are used as an
accompaniment to the dance by
the dancers themselves.
"Tap Roots" is a condensed
score from the original. It is not
a symphony form. but deScrip-
tives more or less a tone poem. At
the opening the woodwinds and
horns announce the principal
theme, and describe the South be-
fore the civil war.
The Musical Festival concert
was held Sunday evening, May,
4. 8 o'clock at Lee auditorium. DR..
Harry r. Wilson, guest conductor.
The program for the evening was
as follows:
The college choir sang three
numbers: "Glory to God, Jacobs
Ladder" and "Peace Must Come
Like a Troubadour." Jacqueline
Johnson, pianist, played "Ballade
F Minor OPP. So" by Chopin.
Pradudium ct Allegro, banjo
and fiddle, Bruce Hayden, violin
ists Colleen Hayden, accompanist.
~LHSe 5oyeuse," Mervin Todd
Hutton, pianist.
The combined high school and
college chorus and glee clubs sang
"PSalm 150", "The Lords Pray
ers~ you'll Never Walk Alone"
and 'sSourwood Mountain" ALI of
the Miamians at FAMC told me
to tell you hello.
"He who works with his hands

It's school vacation time
again and time for the movie
industry to make its annual
plea to young girls everywhere
please. please. stay away from
Hollywood, that capital Of
heartbreak.
But how can you keep them
away when they hear what hap
pened to Doris Day?
Here's the girl whose Holly
wood success has every producer
in town scratching his head
and wishing he had her under
contract.
Doris, a freckle-faced girl
from Cincinnati, came to town
with only one dramatic role be-
hind her-as a duck in a school
Mother Goose play. She still
hasn't had a drama lesson.
OF course, she was widely
known as the singer with Les
Browns Orchestra, but nine out

She's in the Money
BY the time she had made
nine movies in four years for
Warmers, most of them musi-
Gals, the Nations movie exhib-
itors picked her among the top
10 box-office stars of 1851. At
contract renewal time, it's more
important to be among the top
money-makerS than to have a
row of golden Oscars. A movie
magazine (Photoplay) polled its
readers and awarded Miss Day
its gold medal as 1951'S most
popular actress.
Most puzzling to the usual
Hollywoodite is that this box
Office success was accomplished
without the usual publicity gim-
micks. She has had two quiet
divorces from musician hus-
bands. but the 1.-the blond never
had figured in any scandal; was
not known as a night club
habitue; had never been peddled
as sexy on the screen or had she
ever lived in a Beverly Hills
mansion.
She now is married to Marty
Melcher, formerly her agent
and now her business manager.
Her 10-year-old son by a first
marriage lives with them.

money makers came as a sur
prise to everybody but the

Pat, Candid Girl,
Prefers. Movies
To Stage Roles
By Bob Thomos
HOLLYWOOD.

''My dear. I simply can't wait
to get away from these tawdry
films and back to my first love,
the theatah."
That's the equivalent of the
comments a Hollywood reporter
often hears while prowling the
film stages. Hollywood seems
to be filled with stars who can't
wait to dash back to the legit.
That's why it was refreshing to
hear Patricia Neal uphold the
movies VS.. stage experience.
Miss Neal can speak with
authority. She scored a hit on
Broadway as the mean South
ern belle in Another Part of
the Forest" She was snapped
up by Hollywood and has ap-
peared in a dozen pictures since.
But I think the movie ex-
perience is much more valu-
able" she remarked on the set
of Something for the Birds"
"On the stage. you aren't able
to see yourself. You have the
tendency to keep repeating the
same mistakes. But in films,
you have chance to see your
work and find out what you're
doing wrong. You have to i'm
prove, or else"
Pat is candid about her work.
When she has poor picture,
she admits it in no uncertain
terms. When she has one that's
good, she doesn't mind telling
you about it.
The actress said that she
doesn't regret having thrown
her lot with films instead of the
stage. When she made the
move, Helen Hayes defended her
in a magazine article.
Miss Hayes said she didn't
blame young stage players who
succumbed to the lures of Holly.

A Set Like This
Makes 1t Vital
Play Succeed
By Mark Borron
NEW YORK.

The new musical comedy
"Wish You Were Here" which
opens here June Is had better
be a smash hit because it will
have to earn all it's profits strict
ly on Broadway.
It cannot travel to earn extra
profits because it requires
swimming pool % feet long, 8
feet wide and 6 feet deep. The
numerous scantily clad chorus
girls could travel but the pro-
ducers haven't figured out a way
to move that swimming pool.
Because of this there will be
three weeks. beginning June 2.
Of preview performances to de-
termine how the swimming pool
will work on the Imperial The
ater stage. The pool cost $4,000
to install in the theater, to say
nothing of the cost of having all
scenery and costumes water
proofed.
The costumes weren't a major
problem, because the cast of SIS
people wear very scanty attire,
but Producers Leland Hayward
and Joshua Logan had to buy
a lineup of washing and drying
machines to take care of them
between scenes.
The pool on the stage Of the
Imperial required three weeks to
install because contractors had
to excavate four feet beneath
the foundation of the stage until
they reached bedrock. The pool
will hold 5000 gallons (32 tons)
Of water, or as the press agent
put it. 10000 f1fths.

She Likes Her Play
First Lady" the comedy
which she played at the Gayety
and in which she will make her
first Broadway appearance in IL
years this week. piqued Miss
Gahagan as it would few &C
tresses. She thinks it is an
amusing, well made comedy.
She enjoys playing Lucy Wayne,
the Washington cabinet wife
who would like to make her hus-
band President.
Still. she is quite undecided
about 1t being "a Washington
play" It is clever, delightful
observation of life here, but it
is more about Washington than
"of" Washington.
Perhaps, it was suggested, she
and her husband, who are both
expert craftsmen in the theater,
might write "the Washington
play"
mo-" Miss Gahagan said, II
don't even know what it would
be about. No one apparently
ever has written it. Perhaps
it is too elusive. I observed life
pretty carefully, I think, while
I was here, but I have no idea
of what theme could be used
in a Washington play. Maybe
it is too big or too deeply
hidden"
About other kinds of writing,
she is less confident that she
will resist all temptation. AS
a woman who had two careers
before adding politics as a third,
she has observed and expert
enced much. OF this observa-
ton and experience she some
times feels there is something
to be written that would be
useful.

the thing I hated on sight in
Germany and Austria in the
late sos, their technique is to
push people around"
Her feeling on this subject
and many others. she some-
times thinks, might be written.
Having returned to the the
ater, the question of whether she
will stay in it is inevitable. Miss
Gahagan does not know the
answer. She is not reading
play scripts, which certainly is
the first outward sign of a
deep interest in reviving a stage
career. Her husband. of course.
reads these all the time. He
can be trusted to call Miss
Gahagan's attention to any he
thinks might be suitable.
The pleasant impression she
gives is that Of a woman with
