Dedicated to the Boys Overseas

(With apologies to the Author ofl “The Mountains of Mourne”) Dear boys, we have come to a wonderful spot, We fear we must stay here, but would much rather not; It’s quiet and peaceful but near to the guns, r Which makes us think of you facing the Huns; We don’t wake in terror of having to fight, For we’ve one-pippers guarding us all through the night. There’s only one place this could possibly be, Where the white cliffs of G.l. sweep down to the sea. We are very nice girls, they call us the Waacs, And we’re togged up in khaki, with anklets and macs. > There’s nothing we can’t do, and oh you should see, We maidens do drill just as smart as can be; And if we weren’t faithful to the lads overseas, These guys from the States would win us with ease; For they’d look very well with a Waac on each knee, Where the white cliffs of G.l. sweep down to the sea. We have stripers and pippers with voices like guns, And t-heir murderous faces would frighten the Huns. They make us look ugly and teach us to swear, We never were handsome but now we declare, Could we have a smack at the Japs in the air, For clothing and beauty we’d give not a care. We will always be faithful, our dear boys to thee, Where the white cliffs of G.l. sweep down to the sea. PREDICTOR GIRLS.

Not Gold Snowy: All is not gold that glitters, Bluey: I know, you ought to have seen the Sergeant’s eyes when he caught me with his missus. '

QUEEN OF TH! BANDITS One of ' the most colourful figures of early American history the famous Belle Starr, a glamorous woman who ruled an outlaw band with as ruthless a hand as any male desperado. This famous bandit queen is brought to the screen in 20th Cen-tury-Fox’s technicolour, which is now showing at the Century Theatre. In the title role is Gene Tierney, recently seen in “The Shanghai Gesture,” and opposite her is cast Randolph Scott. If you like action this show’s your meat, and if you’re on leave this Sunday, afternoon or evening, the Century’s the place to go.
