Father's Day present that was. Rita, who danced with her famous father as a child and young woman as a part of the famous Cansino dancing act, is very close to the parent she adores. On this Father's Day Brenda Marshall's heart aches for the father she loves, now a prisoner of the Japanese. Brenda's father was a plantation owner in the Philippines. Private Wachsman Reports to Cal: "Some of the newspapers rate the films by stars. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences awards Oscars. Fidler gives 'em the one-twothree-or-four-bell treatment, but the GI (soldier slang for soldier — coming from the term 'Government Issue') bestows the whistle. It works like this: No whistle means there's something wrong with the picture. Faint whistle, and it's but fair fare. Loud whistle, it's good. But a loud and long whistle means the verdict is "tops." Here at Gardner Field I know of some ten rugged GIs in my barracks alone who sweated out the line a second time so they could whistle at Rita Hayworth again in "You Were Never Lovelier." That happens with Betty Grable, Gene Tierney and Veronica Lake, too. Crosby, Hope, Abbott and Costello, Jack Benny are hot favorites. Spectacles go over big, like "Gone With The Wind." So do shows like "Holiday Inn" and "Hellzapoppin." They mixed "whisalutes" and laughter came up like thunder when "Priorities On Parade" played the Post. Ann Miller's long silken-clad gams and Betty Rhodes's upper torso contours rated the former and Jerry Colonna and Vera Vague brought forth the whoops. Musicals have a lasting effect on the Post. The day following a performance you can hear the GIs humming the tunes. Right now it's nip and tuck between "Mary," "Yankee Doodle Dandy" and "For Me And My Gal," although "White Christmas," "Old Fashioned" and "You Were Never Lovelier" are still heard. The GIs feel strong for Gable, Cary Grant, Fonda, George Montgomery, because they know these actors are either in, or soon to enter, service. Other than the glamour-queens mentioned above, the GIs like Judy Garland, Olivia de Havilland, Ann Sheridan, Deanna Durbin, Joan Bennett, Ginger Rogers, Hedy Lamarr, Lana Turner and Janet Blair. It was a noisy night when "The Black Swan" was shown, because Maureen O'Hara was the object of some marathon whistling. And how they kept advising Tyrone Power in his wooing! Monty Woolley is a surprise pet of the army of Army movie fiends. They yelp with joy when he reads a funny line. Another surprise was the reverse reaction to Hedy Lamarr in "White Cargo." They hated the picture. But they still love the gal. She's sort of a symbol for top-drawer glamour. But there are three who are tops with the GIs. at least at Gardner. You guessed it. They are Donald Duck, Porky Pig and Oswald (What you got in the box. doc) the Rabbit!" BEFOREHAND" LOTION FOR BUSY HANDS!
