1 TWO HERALD AMD HEWS MARINE PLAY - DEGLAHED BEST Bv JANE EPLEY Townspeople who went out to th Marine Barracks this week end for the stage production of 'Charley's Aunt'' at the post theatre saw one of the best ama teur shows to be put on in this area for many years. In fact, it might be better to say they saw one 01 me Desi stage shows, without mentioning the amateur angle, and let it go at that The Marine Barracks' "Char ley's Aunt" was a finished pro duction tnrougnoui, irom mc ing, costuming and stage settings to tne mase-up, iib"""s rhpstra. Actually, no one actor or ac tress stood out, because each did an outstanding job in the part portrayed. Sgt. Smith was the perfect Jack Chesney from the moment the opening curtain re vealed him in his shorts, through the times when he and Cpl. Chuck Slaven, as Charley Wyckeham, did some phenome nal ad libbing for instance, when Charley's "aunt" got his hand stuck in a sleeve as they were making him get tne aress nn affair). Capt. Ben Hoover, in the lead part as the "aunt," did a profes sional job, as did his wile, Bene, c one of the flighty young girls: while Patt Putt was most sweet as inariey 5 sui x iciw. CanL Dick Putt, her husband, gave a fine performance as the widow - chasing Stephen Spet tigue; Lt. Jerry Kass won the sympathy of the audience as Col. Sir Francis Chesney: Mrs. Elea nor Mahan was charming as Don na Lucia D Alvadorez; and Mrs. Aljeanne Smith (Sgt. Smith's wife) was dainty and appealing as the girl who loves the man who has to masquerade as inar lev's "aunt." Special mention should go to Pharmacist's Mate Bob Davis, who did so well as the butler Brassett that no one suspected he had taken over the part only last Monday. Of course, the play wouldn't have been such a success without the stage crew. Tony Giordano's scene painting, for instance, aaa ed ereatlv to the audience en joyment, particularly in the last act. And Mrs. Hoover, besides act ing, was the director of the pro-. auction a job m itself. . Service Men Placed On Probation Three . service men against whom charge of statutory, rape were reduced to contributing, to the delinquency of a minor, were placed on two years' probation wnen they appeared before Cir cuit Judge David R. Vandenberg this weekend. The tnen were Pvt. Odis Car roll, U. S. marine corps, S 1c Leroy Junior Milliken and S 2c Richard B. Graham, Klamath navai air station, uarrou had been in military custody, and Milliken and Graham in the county jail. The three were re leasee;. - .- - GALLANT LADY By EARL WHITLOCK Immediately after President Roosevelt's death, you heard, over tne air, and read in the puDiic prints. 1 : 5 thousands of J splendid trio- utes to the ! man. Several r million words " s y IV V II and written, I manv nf whirh K will live in your memory. But, to my mind, the nob- Ipst littoranA Of fl 1 1 n n a nf tha nAhli ...- made, for that matter,- consisted of just seven words. Let me re mind you of them. Mrs. Roosevelt received the news of the President's death while she was at the White House. Nearby stood Harry Truman, grey-faced with grief and anxiety over his tremen dous responsibilities. Mrs. Roosevelt's first act was to send a message to her sons in the service. Then she turned to Mr. Truman and asked, simply, Now, what can we do for you?" That's all. Just those seven words. No frenzy of grief no suggestion of what someone else might do for her. No. Just "What can WE do for YOU'" You know, in the last twelve years the gag writers and the Sunny men have had a good deal of fun out of Eleanor Roosevelt. Her innumerable ac tivities gave them a wealth of material for jokes. ,t Bilt I tI1,nk' Personally, that Jf she had never done another thing besides make that fine, brave remark at a time when her heart must have been so sorely tried, she would deserve the title "Gallant Lady." "Gal land Lady," indeed! "We invite you to visit Mem orv Garden," Next Monday Mr. Whitlock at the Earl Whitlock Funeral Home will comment on "Recipe lor Dependability.". SHOW IN YEARS n4 Monday.

He was probably half crazy with hop. Such are our enemies in the Pacific. ftvf AC ARTHUR reports that in ivx the week just past 8561 Jap dead were counted in the Philip pines and 218 prisoners were taken. To dispose of that many Japs cost us 517 American dead and 1365 wounded. The figures for the week before were some what larger. It is thus that we are finishing off the Japs in the Philippines. ALL this makes grim, almost nauseating, reading. But we MUST appreciate the differentness of this war. Neither in Europe nor in the Pacific are we fighting an honorable enemy to whom, after defeating him, we can give honorable terms. We are fighting INDOCTRINAT ED TOTALITARIANISM and if this foul thfng that has come into modern life isn't stamped out now our children will have to live in a world that will be totally different. We mustn't let down. The job has been started, and it must be finished.
