Picture Study Of ‘Post No. I*
Here’s a sample of entertainment awaiting visitors to White Rose theater where current attraction is “Post No. 1,” Base Special Service musical revue.
Upper row (left to right), Harold Hughes coaxes melodious tunes from his ordinary carpenter’s saw; A1 Cincotta, with top hat perched at precarious angle,
offers medical aid to withered tree as Anthony Balsano, “assistant butcher,” lends a hand during one of three comedy skits, and right panel shows Singer Her-
man Feinberg during his appearance. Lower row consists of Jitterbugs (left to right) Anthony Balsano, Joseph Conti, Larry Asbury, Edward Keaveny and
James Mahoney; Sol Brody as the guard on “Post No. 1,” singing songs he and Cincotta composed for the revue, and lastly, camera catches the string en-
semble in a silhouette lighting effect. The quartet is composed of Milton Moss, Isadore Jaffa and Sam Lacusa (seated), and Henry Senick (standing).
Soldier’s Dreams on ‘Post No. 1
Pioduce Gay, New Musical Show
(Continued from Page 1)
the spotlight frequently during
Ihe two-hour performance.
Newcomers include David Fer-
rari, accordian virtuoso; Harold
Hughes, who lures music from a
carpenter’s saw, and fast-stepp-
ing jitterbugs, Edward Keaveny,
James Mahoney, Larry Asbury,
Anthony Balsano and Joseph
Conti. Mahoney is Keaveny’s
“dame” in a collegiate hop, while
the other trio takes the audience
to Harlem, black faces and all.
Singers are plentiful and tal-
ented, ranging from popular tun-
es by Sol Brody and Hy Feinberg
to the male octette and its solo-
ists, Eulogio Lores and Michael
Golick. The three songs offered
by Brody are original selections
written especially for the show,
“Guard Your Heart” and “Our
Dreams Will Come True” penned
by Brody, while A1 Cincotta con-
tributed “The Days Ahead.”
The octette, consisting of Lores,
Michael Sweeny, Golick, Gordon
Vogt, Ralph Lidster, Walter Oel-
schlager, David Karolius and Dir-
ector Ben H. Cohen, pinch-hitting
for hospitalized George Shormas,
gives forth with “Stout Hearted
Men,” “At The Balalaika,” “With-
out a Song,” and “The Rangers’
Song.”
Goldberg’s troupe, including
Cincotta, Carleton Wiggins,
Sweeney and Ralph Lidster, stag-
ed three skits. Funniest was
Goldberg’s appearance as Grou-
cho Marx, even to the painted
mustache and ever-present cigar,
in a “blackout” entitled “Dr.
Fradler’s Dilemma,” with his
“female patient” being a prettily-
attired Wiggins.
Technical mishaps almost int-
erferred with the opening per-
formance as the electrical current
refused to respond to coaxing.
However, a mobile generator was
recruited, and filled the gap satis-
factorily. Stage lighting was ex-
cellent, and its capable handling
added considerably to the effect-
ive light changes.
Macy’s Will Do
Gift Buying
Christmas shopping worries
need never plague Service men
overseas. There’s a bureau estab-
lished in New York now which
Avill handle any problem, and
even do the gift buying, have the
package wrapped in Christmas
style, and enclose a lovely-dovey
card.
Just drop a note to Betty Ma-
son at Macy’s, Herald Square,
New York City, and tell her
what you’d like to give so-and-so.
Of course, the service doesn’t in-
clude free distribution, so en-
close a check or money order to
cover the cost of the present.
However, if you’re in a quandry
and can’t decide what would be
an appropriate token for the gal,
or folks, or someone else, she’ll
even handle that end of the deal.
What’s more, Miss Mason will
drop you a note and tell you what
she bought so when your -favo-
rite girl writes to thank you for
“that perfectly beautiful bag you
sent ... and how on earth did
you know exactly what I’d like?”
you won’t be too surprised.
