European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - August 24, 1945, Darmstadt, Hesse                                If i sol Hollywood Eto by Al Hine yank staff writer with More than 18 months overseas time in at least four different than any other big name woman movie Dietrich has enough Points to get out of the army and she is Back in the states but the Only reason she is Back is because the Uso insisted she return to have a jaw infection Marlene herself was All for staying in the Eto so she could play some of the staging areas near Marseille and then maybe be redeployed to the Pacific she Hast Given up this last idea with a sergeant Friend i went up to interview Marlene in the new York hotel where she was parking her famous and the rest of in getting she poking the rest of she but both the sergeant and i Are too Well bred to contradict a Marlene and Lin the girl who was with her etto troupe As a comic and was staying with her in new had been in the just a Little Over a Day when we we were the first gis they had seen to talk to since they got Back and they were very glad to see they had both been so close to the army for so Damn Long that they didst feel Normal talking to we feel like a couple of Marlene displaced said As if we didst we dont know How to act in a City like this Tell them about the mar said i go to my dentist for this jaw that was bothering i go into the office building and look for his name on the it is there and he is in room i get in the elevator and i get off at three and i cant find any i looked every i went Back to the elevators and asked one of the where is room 3102 i he says its on the 31st thirty first floor my i How Long have they been making buildings that High and then when we saw a Swanky Lin a big Blue the first thing i thought was where did they liberate that Marlene and Lin Lins overseas time is a Little Over a joined the Dietrich unit after to not Only interesting to look at Audrey biographical data is she is an expert in taxi Der she plays the Bass fiddle and has a tendency other facts Are that she born in that she is 5 feet weighs has red blonde hair and Blue her new Pic Ture for Mem is a Sailor takes a it had started were both still a Little bushed from their Long they had come Home by plane and they still haunt been Able to catch up on their Marlene had started her Uso entertaining in North she had toured that theater and then Italy when she reached the 10 months most entertainers begin to think of heading Marlene headed but she popped right out again for another eight month tour of she took in the North Atlantic installations and wound up in then France and then she got so she was almost Asgi As a me skit and considerably More we played almost she the Only places we missed that made me really unhappy were those redeployment centers in Southern i think those Guys who know they Are just going to the Pacific or Chi need entertainment and i wanted to give it to but the medics looked at my jaw and said i went along with her in Paris when she saw the Lin i thought i would just hold her hand for her or then the medics looked at they you go if you dont go Home youll blow your Here i but the medics were Marlene we saw them All up and Down the always there were two the wonderful cough syrup and the pc each medic you would see when you had a cold would Tell i have just the something Al ways it would be the wonderful cough syrup and the pc we had colds so that sometimes i was so hoarse i  but i could always put on a and then we had the for Over a month at a stretch once we had the said we had to change the timing of the said so that it didst look funny when we had to dash off stage in a and whenever we had the Lin there was always sauerkraut and Vienna sausage for Marlene said she ate with the enlisted men the officers dont As Long As you Tell them about it in when they get mad is when they have prepared a special treat at officers mess and then you say you Are eating the but i dont think officers Ever forced entertainers to eat with them when the entertainers really wanted to eat with the i asked Marlene what kind of sleeping accommodations she anything she could she usually a sleeping bag when she was in for Ward one of those super jobs with the Goose Feath ers and so on i a sleeping said just a beat up sleeping i didst play any shows for the air the sergeant asked Marlene whether she had any beefs off the record at her treatment by the Why should i have gripes she i dont expect the War to be like Hollywood or new some actors thought the european theater was the if i didst get transportation through i had to go out and get it Bur that was sometimes i would show up to do a show for an outfit and the outfit would have been moved out should i Gripe should 1 expect them to Stop the War for the wonderful movie Star in it was when somebody had moved we would just follow All you had to do there was keep on Highway 6 or 7 and eventually you always came to the army and you could do a in we promised a lot of Guys we would see them in said and they just laughed and thought it was a and then we did see some of them in they  believe at said mar and then what a hand they gave by this time we figured we had enough dope for a Story and made As if to and Lin we rent having any of we were Trie first gis they had had a Chance to talk to in Over a we stayed Lin brought out snapshots of the two of them Here was the House where they stayed in no Lin pointed said and we sprinkled the insect powder around to make a Little maybe a Quarter Inch but those bugs came right Over Lin brought out More of their jeep with million Dollar legs painted on of Marlene getting kissed by a i yelled and then he kissed me and More we got out of just before the Battle of the do you remember that cute Soldier in the one who was so cute and drunk and How our hands got so dirty and no place to Wash them so we tried to hold them behind us in the and the one dress the gis liked was the one i  Wear Long underwear with so i always had a and How they built showers for us or one boy would get up on top of the tent and pour water on they always looked the other that was at that was at that was in that was in we asked Marlene it she was going Back to Hollywood to not she in not in the i dont think i could concentrate now on keeping every eyelash right like you have to do i would like to go to the if they will let i have dates with so Many divisions
