Litzkuhn Once Fought for Kaiser; Now He Makes Wood Plaques at Adair I r ♦--------- - „------------------------------ 1-------------------------------- ’ Camp Adair Sentry Thursday, January 28, 1943. t ------------------------------------------ , , , By Pfc. Bob Ruskauff “Broadway,” as gay and effulgent as the late Oscar Odd McIntyre, O. Henry and even the Sullivans, ever painted it, came to Camp Adair Saturday night. The “Saturday Night Club” idea at the Service Clubs, something never before tried at any Army post, went over with a bang. So successfully that it bids to be con- tinued this and each Saturday evening hereafter. Had you stepped into Clubs 1 or 2 at the height of it all, you’d have felt as warmly "at home” as you’d feel stepping into the ”21 Club” or “Leon and Eddy’s”, in a manner of speaking. The Night Club theme was interpreted a bit differently at each club. At Club 1, the Timber Wolf Division furnished the sort of entertainment you couldn’t have found anywhere else in the west that night and at Club 2, the show was presented by stars from the 96th Division, and the same tribute goes. Fullest credit for originating the “Saturday Night Club” idea must go to Pfc. David G. Optner of the Timber Wolf Division who presented it to SSO, Major N. G. DeDakis, and from that point matters began rolling. Prime compliment to the motive is that the “Night Clubs” offer clean-cut fast­ moving entertainment, not only for EM to witness bachelor style, but for soldiers with guests at the Post over the week-end. This might be called the Story CORVALLIS ISO TO of the Man Behipd the Plaque.
