Quiet Anniversary Marked In Reims For German Surrender
Reims observed the first anniversary of Germany's unconditional surrender with a small presence of soldiers and visits to the surrender room in the little red schoolhouse now a French national shrine. The room preserves the signing table and war maps while a top secret daily summary notes the surrender details. Outside, the Allied presence has dwindled. 15 American soldiers run 14 hotels and billets with limited theater and club facilities, as dozens of camps have closed.

In Paris at the Folies Bergere a polite lobby encounter with a postcard of a nude figure, offered for 50 francs to “weeble” the rest of life. Frederick C. Othman notes the cavernous lobby, morbid memorabilia, and a show that starts cheap then evolves into an elaborate, costumes and bells filled revue far removed from prior burlesque. The piece ends with the curtain rising on a spectacular performance, contrasted with earlier acts.
