A War Department correspondent speaks with Theater No 1 officer 1st Lt Robert D Coppedge and Cpl Millard R Helton about activity at three post theaters. They note over 40 weekly performances and high Sunday attendance, with Monday crowds dropping by two thirds. Theaters donate profits to the Field Post Trust Fund, supporting Headquarters and squadrons, per Army Regulations 21 50. The post theaters take about a quarter of a cent per ticket and spend on supplies, with funds also supporting recreation and welfare programs.
