tive writing among i'll and disabled vet
Grams.
For the most part, entries consist of ma
terial submitted by veteran-patients in
connection with a recent hospitalized vet
Grams writing contest held in all VA hos
pitals.. Enough manuscripts came in to
keep the magazine fully stocked for a long
time
The current issue of Veterans Voices
contains IL stories, anecdotes and articles,
and 10 poems. The determinations are in
VA hospitals in all parts of the nation,
from New York to California.
Many of the entries have to do with life
in the hospital. Several of the patients
described how faith stood them in good
stead during the darker moments of their
illnesses. Others wrote about humorous
incidents that took place in their hos
pital. However, few drew upon exper-
fences that occurred before they were hos
pitalized, for their subjct matter.

Evelyn a New, Wiser Girl
After 78 Months in Paris
By SheiIoh Grohom

Americans are the most
friendly people in the world.
That's why Joel McCrea
was so popular in England
(where Evelyn starred with
him in Rough ShootO. He
was the epitome of what they
expect of an American, easy
going, smiling-everyone over
there always talks of the
smiles of the Americans"
French women, says Eve
lyn, are either very chic, or
very terribly dressed" There's
no in-betWeen. But an Ameri-
can girl can put on a sweater
and skirt and a scarf and look
terrific. A Frenchman once
said to me, No French woman
could put on what you do or
dare and look so WE'LL"
Americons Welcome
Life can be very expensive
in Paris, says Evelyn, if you
stick to the Georges Cinq, Ho-
tel Lancaster, Fouquet circuit.
But if you choose where you
live and eat, life can be beau
tiful. II pay 10000 francs a
month for a maid-but that's
only $50. The rent for my
lovely apartment is $4,000
francs. That's $120. Apart
ments in the good sections are
fantastically high"
I asked If Americans are
popular in Paris. To which
Evelyn replied, EYES," and

for the dollars. but they're
blamed for the high prices.

would do we'll to inspect the
citation. This may be no
more your idea Of outstanding
TV entertainment than a
trained seal is your idea Of
the musician best qualified to
play MY Country, IT'S Of
Thee" 1t is not how the seal
does it, though, but that he
does it at all.
This is what impressed the
Peabody judges about "Your
Hit Parade" Carefully, the ci-
tation notes: when a hit song
must be used for as often as
16 consecutive weeks, unusual
ingenuity is required :.
You can't deny the validity Of
a Peabody award for unusual
ingenuity, even if you get
bored with what the ingenuity
sometimes develops.
The committees whimsical
ity may also be responsible for
a glaring omission in the list
of Peabody honors. CHS also
ran. The Philharmonic is not
precisely a CHS project and
that Cleveland TV affiliate Is
not CBS-owned.
Token at His Word
It was back in February.
after the Academy Of TV Arts
and Sciences awards, that Dave
Jacobson had his say about
awards. Mr.. Jacobson, director
of T'V publicity for CHS, de-
clared that the network would
have nothing more to do with
that sort of nonsense. Not q
thing
1t may or may not have sur
prised him to learn that the
Peabody judges apparently
CooK MIN at his word. 1t gave
most of its awards to NBC, a
network which minds it's man.
nerS and says, Thank you"
Another curious omission by
the Peabody committee Is Of
the TV and radio coverage Of
the political conventions last
summer. Students of politics
gave much credit to television
for arousing the interest which
got out that record vote. The
TV coverage was regarded on
all sides as an outstanding pub
lie service. This leads only to
the suspicion that the major
ity of the Peabody judges are
in agreement with the recent
Letter-to-the Editor writer who
concluded we may have been
better off in the frying pan.
Do you suppose they think 1t
may not have been a public
service, after all, to get all those
voters out?

tions that have gone into
pal Joey"-its book, score,
lyrics. performances and pro-
duction-make it difficult and
possibly boorish to extract one
quality as major. Nevertheless,
in this free country where
everyone is entitled to his
opinion, this correspondents
opinion is that O'Hara's writ
ing is its best feature.
A Condid Portrait
From the beginning, he saw
joey clear, as a braggart, liar,
leecher, gigolo, etc. The stand
ard writer reaction to Joey's
type is one of indignation,
anger, or Righteousness. O'Hara
may have felt all of these,
but he chose not to show them.
He preferred to be bitterly
amused by the antics of his
miserable little night club
master of ceremonies, and by
his intimates such as the strip
tease molls, chorines, and the
Chicago society woman with a
taste for morally motheaten
young men.
He exposed them to the
bitter ridicule that reveals
how funny they are. Thus he
turned pal joey" into one
of the most superbly amusing
satires ever set to music; say,
the most superbly amusing
satire Of them all.
The delight of Joey" is a
two-edged thing, shared with
as much relish by those play
ing it as those in the audience.
Everything about it is alive
with the comedy spirit, bitter
but the livelier for that.
Hardly anything could be more
hilarious than the dances per-
formed by the tired, talentless
girls working in Joey's fifth
rate cribs" The sight of good
dancers doing these grotesquely
inept routines is a sight to
cheer the heart that Agnes de
Mile could envy,

On the Air

The broadcasters have just
weathered their annual shock.
The 18th annual George Fos-
ter Peabody Awards have been
made. Honors by the thou
sand, some solid but more hol-
low, are scattered through
radio and television in the
course of any year. but these
bestowed Friday are among
the more coveted.
They are harder to come by.
You don't win a Peabody
award in return for mention
ing the University of Georgia's
Henry w. Grady School Of
Journalism on your program.
It is the school which makes
the annual awards. The COM
mittee which selects those to
be honored, with Atlantic
Monthly Editor Edward Weeks
as chairman, has high stand
ards.
These are what lead to the
annual shocking of the broad
casters. When the kilograms
to the winners are dispatched
in the spring, many who
thought they had been doing
well discover that they have
not been doing we'll enough.
Not well enough. at any rate,
to impress the Peabody COM
mittee.
Only II Winners
This year, as in some past
years, the judges did not find

merited their rousing cheers.

"Pal joey"
O'Hara's writing mood is
brilliantly matched in the mu-
sic of Rodgers and Hart. Every

thoroughly used in the last IL

The Passing Show

At any rate, Washington's
first two-theater drama sea-
son in many years will have a
memorable final lap.
This is assured by the pres
ence for a fortnight Of pal
joey" at the Shubert. This is
the musical that everyone, in
cluding a majority Of the re-
putedly sophisticated drama
critics, was IL years growing
up to appreciate. Now, how
ever, it is an accepted facet of
the national culture that this
best of all possible worlds is
endowed with heels and that
great musicals can be written
around them.
In 1910, this revolutionary
notion was clear to John
O'Hara who wrote the original
book, Richard Rodgers and
Lorenz Hart who set it to
music, and to q few other
daring souls who produced it.
For thinking so heretically
they got themselves and pal
joey" talked about sufficiently
that it ran almost a year, and
started Gene Kelly on his way.
A Coming Of Age
There was no general recog-
milton, however, that pal
joey" marked a great turning
point in entertainment, a COM
ing Of age that might be reluc-
tant, but one that was to see
the end Of sickening stage
musicals.
That came IL years later,

Producers julie Styne and
Leonard Key. Two wars, one
hot, one cold, had under

nature that were as ineScap-
