IN TECHNICOLOR

The play marks the debut of Bing’s®four young hopefuls, Gary, Phillip, Dennis and Lin, who are amusingly critical of the singing of this disembodied voice. Bing does not appear, The good-humored satire on crooners——with particular attention to Frank atra—takes full advantage of the famous bow tie, microphone stance and swooning bobby soxers. ° Crooning Imposter The “singing imposter,” Eddie Bracken, is presented as a Western Upion messenger in a small town, who fortuitously discovers himself singing at a stage benefit featuring the music of Diana Lynn and her band, Veronica Lake, playing an impressionable swooner, has overdone her dieting, and collapses as she attempts to leave the theater. Eddie, given credit for great crooner effectiveness, is put under contract by Miss Lynn; but inasmuch as the band is stranded at this point, the band leader sells shares in Eddie's future in order to raise the necessary railroad fare. . Miss Lynn inadvertently sells 125 per cent of Crooner Bracken, who is misled into thinking he is a “howling” success from the flood of

offers,

‘Borrowed Voice’ Actually the outfit is deeper into the red. Financial finaggling among Diana, Veronica and the -other stockholders distracts Eddie from his romantic efforts with the charming Diana. A way out is finally decided on, and Diana and Cass Daley conspire to make Eddie a flop by getting him cold-ridden and voiceless. He finds himself powerless to sing at the crucial moment, and this is where the “borrowed” voice comes in. A Crosby phonograph record, playing behind scenes saves the day. - Lilting tunes enlivening the production are “I'd Rather Be Me,” “June Comes Around Every Year,” and of course the title song. Miss Daley sings in her inimitable style, “A Sailor With an Eight-Hour Pass” and “All I Do Is Beat That Gol Darn Drum.” Another worthy feature, five band leaders in a piano number, are Carmen Cavalaro, Ted Fio Rito, Henry King, Ray Noble and Joe Reichman. The added attractions include “Midnight Manhunt,” featuring William Gargan and Ann Savage, and a short subject, “Miracle

PYLE MEMORIAL | PLAN "ALTERED

Academy Dedicated to Arts Of Peace Projected.

Plans of the “Ernie Pyle Memorial, Inc.” at Dana have been changed and it is now planned to use the funds that accrue in a na-tion-wide drive starting Aug. 22 for “an academy dedicated to the pursuits of the arts of peace.” This was announced in New York today , by Richard Condon, campaign director for the fund which supplants the original plan for a modest library at Dana in honor of

her native son who was destined to become the war's most noted correspondent, Pyle was killed April 19 on Xe Shima, small Pacific isle where Jap surrender emissaries are to fly from Tokyo en route to Manila to meet with Gen. MacArthur.

Publicity Firm Hired

The services of Condon’s publicity firm have been engaged by a com-

funds for an endowment with which to found a college of government; also, to build a library and create a 120-acre park for the 845 citizens of Dana. Chairman of the citizens’ committee is Anton Hulman Jr. of Te re Haute. “It is our sincere.belief,” Condon said, “that a nation which has supported two academies in the pursuit of the arts of war for over one hundred years, could afford, after two monstrous, conflicts, to support one academy dedicated to the pursuit of the arts of peace.” Condon said no quota had been set for the drive. But “it ‘would most certainly be necessary to raise several millions of dollars to endow a chair which would parallel in cost and operation any other given school in a uffiversity such as a

| college of mines, school of medicine

or an agricultural college. Condon said it was planned to return Pyle's body to the park in Dana for final interment but that it was not planned to inter there the bodies of unknown soldiers from the allied countries. This had been contemplated, he said, but the plan was rejected. Plan to Return Body “We had planned this at firsty but decided it was too gruesome,” said Emerson Brewer, in charge of the Condon promotional efforts at Terre Haute. Mr, Condon also denied that the memorial park would be the setting for symbolic scenes of the participation of each allied -natipn in the war and a great book containing the name and a brief history of each U, 8. soldier killed in action. The present plan for an Ernie Pyle memorial grew out.of, 8 project for a $35,000 library which Hulman’s committee decided was too

modest. |

RADIO LANDING ‘SECRETS! BARED

CAA Demonstrates Devices At Airport Here.

Use of high-frequency radio to land more planes at busy airports was to be demonstrated at Weir

the civil aeronautics authority. The CAA, which plans to center its research at its airport experimental station here, was host today and yesterday to aviation writers, “taking the wraps off” some of its wartime developments, The show will cenclude with a banquet at 6:30 o'clock tonight in the Columbia club, at which Glenn Gilbert, chief of the CAA’s air transportation control division, will speak. Demonstrate Hazards

The CAA showed writers how hazardous birds can be to planes in flight, hurling a four-pound chicken, electrocuted previously, 135 - miles - an - hour through the windshield of a DC-3 cargo plane. This was done with a test gun which can hurl 20 pounds 450 miles-an-hour, fires rubber discs and other objects against windshields and tires for testing purposes. Also shown was a beacon atop the experiment station, consisting of four lights, each of 30 million candlepower, . It can be seen 50 miles away, Henry Metz, experi- " station chief, said. The scientific basis for the phrase “on the beam” also was explained. Today's landing demonstration {was designed to show how arriving planes “can be “stacked up” at 1000-foot levels 10 miles from the airport to wait until they are permitted to cutting landing time one-half from ‘the present method.
