Janie (Warner Bros.) (1944)

Your Stun Local G.I. “Janie” is a gay, light-hearted comedy which serves the double purpose of instilling a tremendous pride of country in the heart of every American who sees it. In the film, Joyce Reynolds, as “Janie,” is a charming, wholesome seventeenyear-old who nearly upsets family and commu nity when she tries to function as a one-man U.S.O. when troops arrive in her home town. In your own local organizations there are undoubtedly many equally energetic young girls whose efforts at keeping up community morale are just as sincere, if not quite as upsetting, as Janie’s. You'll be giving them incen| tive for improving their efforts if you elect one from among them as your own local “Janie,” awarding her with a War Bond Prize and bestowing the title upon her at a special “Janie” Party in her honor. Here’s how you do it: Competitive lists of | girls whose efforts at boosting morale most | nearly match Janie’s can be submitted by local Army, Navy and Marine Camps (through cooperation of Special Service Officer or Public Relations Office.) Ballots containing these names should be distrib CDR 1/1) Di Fe Joyce Reynolds Still (as illustrated at right), J-5092—10c—from Campaign Plan Editor, Warner Bros., 321 W. 44 St., New York 18, N. Y.
