' taining program which has ever been | jJ| staged at the base hospital "Y" was i II nlilied off on Tm^day night. To say | c. tkat the house was packed is to state i jg id too modestly. Men were literally! hinging from the rafters, every avail.jj atye inch of the building being occu- j in p,ed? The program was begun with a piano solo by Schilling. Vocal solos by Colatri and Kranrtr _were much l" enjoyed. A reading by John Lawp ler, the most popular soldier reader at Camp Greene, was encored so much ne that he had to pick*up his hat and leave the building. One of the biggest hits of the evening was sponsored by Secretary Fer2n guson, who. having scoured the black id belt of Charlotte, introduced two nely gro pickaninnies as the "gold dust en twins." The house applauded their dancing, singing and Jokes, ed The final feature of the evening k. was the most popular stunt on the is program. Privates Rowgal and I -e, [ Baronow^ who formerly traveled for k, several years on Keith's circuit, put i n- on an acrobatic stunt superior to anything seen this season. tal ^ I fi(1 "I'M PROUD YOU'RE A VOLUX-1 id TEER. ^ hi (A Reply to "Only a Volunteer") | fje Don't be sorry, brother mine, j That vou're a volunteer. , You are on the bravest line; ,y The line that knows no rear. e" You may have been neglected.
