Close Harmony Under Fire
HE men had finished supper, and sat around in listless
groups. Even when a shell went zooming overhead they
showed no interest. They were fed up on this war.
A little gray car chugged up the hill to their camp. Two war
work men stepped out, carrying between them a curious long box.
“What you got there ?” asked the doughboys.
“An organ.”
“Well, can you beat that!”
“We’ve come to give you a little entertainment,” said one man.
“All right?”
“You bet it’s all right,” answered a young officer. “This gang
hasn’t seen a soul from the outside world for weeks. Go as far
as you like.”
And they did.
They sang the new songs, Just over from Broadway. In a
minute
the whole camp was singing them. Then they sang the
■t]
verse of a good old close-harmony melody, and the crowd roared

the chorus.

“But haven’t you men got anybody who can sing?” asked one
tit
of
the
entertainers. The response was immediate and over
n
whelming.

“Sure we have! Oh, you Shorty! Come on, Happy! Give ’em
that ‘Perfect Day,’ Bill!”
And then things really started.
i
“Would you know it’s the same gang?” asked the American
officers.
■I
For two hours it lasted, and then the visitors packed up their
organ.
“Come again soon and send more of your men,” said the
(<;»
officer. “We can’t get too much of it!”
“So long!” yelled the men. “Good luck! Come again!”
Wherever there are American soldiers overseas, these organ
izations are carrying entertainment to them. Movies, concerts,
lectures, local talent, even full-fledged comedies with a truck for
the stage, from the simplest sing-songs in the woods to the most
«
elaborate program in city theatres, everywhere free entertain
i
ment is provided to meet conditions.
