“REVIVAL TENTS”
USE BY U.S. SOLDIERS IN ITALY New York, Jan. 10. "Newly developed beauty shops on the Fifth Army front in Italy arc lifting the troops’ morale jn a big way,” says a correspondent of the Associated Press of America "Going right up as the front line moves forward. these beauty shops, dubbed ‘revival tents’ by the soldiers, receive fighting men relieved temporarily from the front line. “The men go into the revival tents battered and mud-splattered, and less than an hour later they emerge showered. shaved and wearing clean underclothing and new uniforms. The battle weary troops are hardly recognisable as they leave the beauty shops. The soldiers regard the ne\f- underwear and uniforms as a real present, but the best treat of all is the hot shower, which is the last thing one would have expected to find near the front line.”
