THEATRE
Arsenic and Old Lace," Laugh Riot
Enjoyed by Camp Adair EM, Officers
The full-length production of “Arsenic and Old Lace,”
Joseph Kesselring’s comedy of lovely old ladies and poison,
as presented by the USO-Camp Shows last Wednesday night,
provided a real entertainment treat for the soldiers and
officers at this post, from the first act until the fin d curtain
call. A well-balanced and theatrically prominent cast gave
the play the air of a Broadway production, and each charac­
terization was worthy of individual praise.
Tytus Grzedzica of Camp Adair
is training to fight in a war that
he was in, fighting, as a Polish
soldier, for Poland, when the Ger­
mans began their blitz in 1939.
In this one war he has been a
soldier in three countries and even,
in one sense, under three flags.
Following the fall of Warsaw he
escaped, on foot, to France. He
was with a Polish outfit within the
French forces when France went
down.
.
Captured, at the fall of France,
he escaped merely by jumping out
of a truck and again he fled from
a country on foot, with some hitch­
hiking and train rides. Thus he
made his way through Spain and
Portugal.
Later Gzredzica, now a private
in the Redleg Bn. of the Timber
Wolf Artillery, helped prisoners
escape from concentration camps
and then was captured himself by
an enemy agent disguised as a
priest. He passed three months in
a concentration c amp. The n,
through the American embassy, he
got away and came to the United
States. Now he is getting set for
another round.
