The battle flags of many regiments are celebrated in American history, but there's none more famous than the brave banner of the 69th New York, the fighting 69th of glorious memory. In 1861 and 1898 in 1917 they marched to war. The number of the regiment is different now, but it's the same fighting 69th in spirit as they march in 1942. Our play tonight is a story

Men like Father Defe and wild Bill Donovan. Our cast, I'm sure, will do the mana. Pat O'Brien and Robert Preston and Ralph Bellamy. As father Duffy, Pat O'Brien, plays the same part he did on the screen. This
