Mat, I6D, 60c Trying to concentrate and soak his aching feet at the same time proves too much for Burgess Meredith, playing cor¬ respondent Ernie Pyle. He handles that big toe gently as though it’s loaded with dynamite. “Please stop aching,” he says, “just long enough for me to send in my column.” Now he resigns himself and decides to perform a major operation on the throbbing member. Apparently, from his facial expression, he doesn’t ex¬ actly relish the job. The situation is temporarily under con¬ trol now. The column is beginning to shape up, his weary ‘dogs’ are a-dunk- ing and even his socks are out drying. □he army LOANED A CONTIN¬ GENT OF TROOPS COMPLETELY EQUIPPED FOR BATTLE TO OBTAIN THOROUGH AUTHENTICITY IN MAKING THIS PICTURE. ■HE CASTING OF BURGESS MEREDITH IN THE ROLE OF ERNIE PYLE MET WITH THE, ENTHUSIASTIC APPROVAL OF THE BELOVED CORRESPONDENT W UNFORGETTABLE FILM TRIBUTE TO " G.l.

A town is taken and so is Wally Cassell’s heart. The lovely Yolanda Lacca, who a moment ago was terrified, is now fully in command of the situation. War stands still now.The conquered has made a conquest and she seems to know it Burgess Meredith is hard-pressed to report the dizzy pace of a vic¬ torious army. He also enjoys the luxury of soaking his weary feet after long forced marches with the infantry. Page Seventeen
