ALL-SOLDIER CHOIR OF COMPANY A REHEARSES FOR CONCERT: Army men of the soldiers' chorus of Company A spend an average of three hours a week rehearsing under Bill Sawyer's direction for a concert they will give on Aug. 15 in Hill auditorium. In addition to the summer concert, the men will present songs and skits on Army life in a half-hour radio program over WJR this Saturday and again on Aug. 7. A large percentage of the men were members of the chorus when Company A presented its musical comedy, "Nips in the Bud" in the spring. In the above picture Bill Sawyer is shown at the right directing the chorus in one of the songs being prepared for the Aug. 15 concert.

THE JUNIOR GIRLS PLAY WAS NEVER LIKE THIS: The sound of marching feet on the boards of the Lydia Mendelssohn theater this week is really the pony ballet going into its act for the musical revue "Nips in the Bud." Members of the male chorus join the girls in several numbers, and here the cast is assembled for the song and dance routine in "Gonna Get Gigged." Pvt. Albert Acerno, one of the authors, sings the solo part in this act. A public performance is scheduled tomorrow night.

DANCING WITH TEARS IN THEIR EYES: Because the fancy dancing slippers are a little tight for some of the boys, several of the fairest from the front line of "Nips in the Bud" turn out for chorus rehearsal in tennis shoes or regular G. I. anklewarmers. When the musical revue is presented on May 17, 18, and 19, however, all the boys will be there in dancing slippers and their prettiest costumes. The production is written staged and produced by men of Company A., 3651st Service Unit in East Quadrangle.
