Invasion Scene, Act II
Yesterday was Act TL
Same beachhead scene. Same except today there are no
screaming bombs, no burning tanks, no convulsive shells tearing
big holes in the ground. Same scene, but today the guys up there
on the beach put on the show.
They're ready for Act IL They've pushed the enemy back a
few miles. Here comes Act II. Here comes the U.S.O. Camp Show!
Our guys need this show. They need it desperately, like starving
men need food. For an hour or two they'll go back tr America . . .
back to Broadway, Hollywood, Main Street . . . back a thousand
miles from this beachhead. They need to laugh, to forget
They need it, understand?
Thanks to the folks back home, U.S.O. Camp Show units have
played in every combat zone, often immediately behind the front
lines. More than 90 units are playing the "Foxhole"; more than
80 units appear regularly at camps and hospitals in the western
hemisphere.
It costs money to operate the world's biggest theatrical circuit
Even though most stage and screen stars donate their services
without charge, it still costs a lot of money to send hundreds of
other performers. Every cent must come from part of the money
you give to your local community drive.
Your gift helps your neighbors at home, too! Local services
supported by this one drive include family and child welfare
work, hospital and clinical projects, settlement work, maternity
care of wives of servicemen, day care for children of war workers.
Give once for all these. There are many war needs to cover.
Give now at least a day's pay. Give all you can!
