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

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.".

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.
