Opposite him, to make a perfect comedy team, {is lovely Binnie Barnes, who as Lil Damish, possesses an acid tongue (and a soft spot in her heart for Brannon. Despite all of Lil's pleading to marry him, Plush insists he must be a success first—without, of course, resorting to work. After a shooting duel with his old partner, played by John Carradine, Brannon leaves/ town and winds up in Gold Town,| | Nevada, where the citizenry's im-| | pression that he is an important financier, is not dispelled by Plush. He gets mixed up in a romance be- | LIEUT, LANGSETH TELLS OF PARIS; BREEZY LETTER A most interesting letter has been rec>ived by Mr. and Mrs. Jack Lang- seth from their daughter, Lieut. Ruth Langseth, ANC., 50th General Hospitai overseas. The letter, dated June 10, from APO 513, says: “My trip to Paris was more than enjoyable—there’s something almost breath-taking about that place. The city is all planned, no buildings are more than eight stories high, and everything leaves such a definite impression. As one visits places of interest, and learns the storics con- nected with them, it greatly adds to the awe of its beauty. For there is a definite beauty-—one which cannot be assembled in a short time but an accumulation of the ages. “We traveled at night and it seems we were a few of the so-called hon- ored individuals, for we had a sleep- er. Their berths are wider than ours and put in the trains at an opposite angle, and it is really more comfort- able to sleep there. We had 72 hours in the city; a very nice double room, with bath which had an especial appeal, and plenty of hot water. (Managed to get in two baths a day). City's Highlights “On the first atternoon we took a up to our average standard of public display, but one readily remembers that this is France, and especially in Paree risque actions are to be ex- pected. But the costumes were of lovely materials as well as colots, and the effect with lighting is al- most amazing. “The following morning we touvk a trip to Versailles, where we saw !me grand Trianon, which is spec- ! tacular in its pink marble building, also the petite Tranon which really lives up to its name. It is from there that one enters the garden where Marie Antoinette spent so much time. It is truly fascinating, with the old mill, her bedroom house, the promenade and the Tem- ple of Love. We were there on a cloudy day, and as we stopped near the bridge over a small waterway the sun burst forth and a swan with all its grace swam by in a most Mesurely fashion — a spectacle I'll never forget.

It gives one a different aspect of France— almost a feeling of reverence and awe as these spectacles are beheld. All on Edge “Everyone in our unit is a bit on edge these days, not knowing any- thing definite as to future activities, But I'd be perfectly willing to go most anywhere if only given a few days at home first. Our first pa- tients here were Russians that were released by Amaricans near Scarburg after having been in German con- centration camps over a period of years. They were really an emaciat- ed, sick bunch of people, and it made us inwardly irate to hear of | the treatment administered by their | captors. But with good diet, carc and medicine they are making ex- cellent recoveries. Many of them had advanced t. b, and when they entered our hospital we had little hope that recovery for them was possible. “(P.S.—Can't understand why soft ball fails to interest you.
