Quartermaster Column
By PETER

The midday banter that bounces around
the barracks proved the source for this
Marx-like pun. Ward, seldom in a serious
vein, announced that he was making an
exit for a few moments and that if Wash-
ington called he would be right back. His
words had hardly been issued when the
' ye basso profundo voice of Oborne started
to ricochet off the rafters—‘‘Washington
calling, George speaking.’

Lt. Zamzow appeared crestfallen and de-
jected the other day. It seems he lost his
ration book and the family larder was de-
void of meat. Everything is alright now,
though, He got three or four turkeys at
the bowling alley the other night.

We have more news analysts in our ranks
than CBS. (I was about to say soldiers.)
Chet Padziora, our prototype of Kaltenborn,
devotes a major portion of his leisure time
making intensive and exhaustive explora-
tions through historical documents and
moss-backed ‘volumes gathering data for
some of his incredible forecasts. Glancing
up from a bulky periodical he peered in-
tently at the motley assemblage in the day

Big All-Colored
Musical Comedy
Show Here Monday

LET’S GO to the big all—colored musical
revue, direct from the spots of Harlem, Mon-

day night at the post R.B.E.T. (gym) building
at 2000!

Its the latest model of USO-Camp Shows,
and carries plenty of kick and good hot
music to say nothing of some husky blues
voices.

Louis Kelsey is the Emcee who is hot on
the jive, and has worked with Count Basie’s
orchestra. He has danced and sung with
several New York Clubs, and says he has the
loudest voice in the show business. He adds
that audiences find it of good quality, how-
ever.

Then there’l] be the three Reeves Sisters,
who do a classy dancing act, with one in
male attire and the others in fancy feminine
dress. And if you like comedy dancing the
team of Smiles and Smiles will bring it to
you, They have made dancing appearances
in such musicals as Strike Me Pink, Flying
Down to Rio, Showboat, The Big Broadcast,
and The Singing Kid.

Then there’s Vickie Vigal, the husky
throated blues singer with the socko delivery
and that great comedian, Sandy Burns.

He has toured the circuits with Bill Robin-
son and was with Jimmy Luneceford’s Har-
lem Express show. Before joining Camp
Shows he was with the NBC “Deep River
Boys” which played in larger cities for three
months. His son is seeing active duty with
the army.

The show is free to military personnel and

their families.

room and exclaimed, “Most amazing, aceord-
ing to my calcualtions the war should have
been over last year.”

Tom O’Donnell, past president and presi-
dent incumbent for re-election as head of
the Liars Club, sez the way to a gal’s heart
runs right by the poor house. Tom, you
should understudy Ogden. He's a better
operator than the Post Surgeon.
