Our boys NEED this show. They need it desperately, like starving
men need food. For an hour or two they’ll go back to America ...
back to Broadway, Hollywood, Main Street . . . back a thousand
miles from this beachhead. They need to laugh, to forget.

Your gift helps in other ways too. It serves our men in enemy
prison camps, sends relief to suffering victims of war, serves our
own fighting men and our allies on every front! Through the
agencies of the National War Fund it carries new life and new hope
throughout the war-torn world!
Give once for all these. There are many war needs to cover.
Give now—at least two day’s pay. Give all you can.
