South Pacific" yesterday had
the best audience it's had in
four years of touring the coun-
try. Maybe the best audience
ever.
They were 900 men from the
area service and veteran hoSpi-
tails, invited to a special showing.
They poured into the National
Theater from buses and ambu-
lances. Also on hand were Mrs.
Eisenhower and the wives of
the Postmaster General and the
Chief Justice. Mrs. Eisenhower
had a little difficulty with the
volley of haShbulbs that greeted
her, because, as she explained to
some of the wounded, she al
ready had an insect bite on one
eyelid.
The men gave the actors and
actresses a thrill with their
powerful reactions.
