So Army life is not so bad. “This is quite an immodest letter but it is true and it makes good copy.” And in addition, Abe, it proves that even a true artist can learn to toot the tuba in times of national stress and emergency. Here's to better and louder tooting of the old horn, Abe!

Nice and Polite

THIS IS how the Hays office in Hollywood earns its keep: During a scene in “Ice-Capades” Jerry Colonna makes a date with Vera Vague and slyly adds: “You may show me your etchings.” The Hays office pondered this line for a while and finally suggested a substitute, “You may tell me the story of your life.” Furthermore, say the press agents, when Dorothy Lewis, the skating lead, first met Mr. Colonna, she felt prompted to remark: “You know, that's the first mustache I've ever seen with a hangover.” . As to “The Reluctant Dragon,” showing now at the Circle, Walt Disney's next full-length feature production is expected to be released next month. It's to be called “Dumbo of the Circus” and it stars a baby elephant who becomes the world's greatest circus performer because he can fly. | Yes, that's what we said! An omnivorous reader of the printed page, W. C. Fields, soon to be seen in “The Great Man,” likes to pore over the San Quentin Outpost, a prison publication need we say, and the amar (Mo.) Democrat. Mr. Fields reported that in a recent edition of the Outpost, a convict concluded his letter to the editor with the following observation: “I am proud to be an inmate of so fine an institution.” The Democrat, said Mr. Fields (to his press agent), recently recorded the protests of a citizen who was transported to the Lamar calaboose on suspicion of over-indulgence in the giant who lives in the bottle. The citizen was quoted as lambasting Lamar’s new jail house wagon, to which the editor took strenuous exception. But being of a philosophical nature, the editor editorialized that “while the citizen was wrong, a man's remarks cannot be held
