“Stage Door Canteen” is more than wartime nostalgia that dredges up disposable, propagandistic ditties with an attitude of serious fun. It is an informative piece of history that remembers the first Stage Door Canteen, a hospitality center created by the American Theater Wing in the basement of a Broadway theater at 216 West 44th Street, where celebrities and servicemen could mingle. On any given night it could accommodate 3,500 people. Alcohol was not served.” (from the NY Times)
This is the man nobody knows…
“This is the man nobody knows… a killer on the loose… in Mark Hellinger’s Naked City.”
THIS IS PM… (60 years ago today)
PM Daily March 14, p. 17
We are against people who push people around, wether they flourish in this country or abroad.
We are against fraud and deceit and greed and cruelty and we will seek to expose their practitioners.
We are for people who are kindly and courageous and honest.
We respect intelligence, sound accomplishment, open-mindedness, religious tolerance.
We do not believe all mankind’s problems are now being solved successfully by any existing social order, certainly not our own, and we propose to crusade for those who seek constructively to improve the way people live together.
We are Americans and we prefer democracy to any other principle of government.
(From the original Prospectus of PM)
