Broadway Ballad
Novelette: Irving Berlin arrived the other day from England with messages for kin and loved ones of members of “This Is the Army.” Berlin phoned parents, wives, sweethearts and pals, and took down messages to relay to the boys in his show now abroad. He made several hundred calls.
The most touching: Two soldiers gave him the same name of “the only girl in the world.”
From the St. Petersburg Times.
