NAMES IN THE
NEWS
MAURICE CHEVALIER
French Comedian
Maurice Chevalier Is reported
back ni Paris—ready to answer
charges that lie collaborated with
the Nufcis.
Wa has meant many things
to the famed French comedian.
In tnis war, he has been re-
ported killed by French patriots.
Ho has been called a tool of
Goebbels. One American enter-
tainer called him the Laval of
the stage.
Another report said that after
the fateful fall of France in
1940, Chevalier put away his
straw hat and donned a steel
helmet to sing to French sol-
diers.
In World War One, Chevalier
was one of those soldiers.
On August 22nd, 1914 —when
the Germans attacked near Metz
—Chevalier was wounded.
Weeks later, German doctors
decided that to remove the piece
of shrapnel lodged close to his
heart would mean instant death.
In the 26 months that follow-
ed, young Chevalier learned Eng-
lish in a chilled German prison.
Later—in America that know-
ledge of English brought him
fame and fortune in Hollywood
—but—as he sang his Tight, hap-
py songs, and won millions with
the gaiety of his personality —
that shrapnel still remained a
daily threat to his voice—and
his life.
Chevalier was horn on Sepf.
12th, 1889, in the Montilmontant
section of Paris. Almost six feet
tall, he weighs 165 pounds, has
brown hair, blue eyes and a
wide, flashing smile.
But the real story of Cheval-
ier is the story of a boy's fight
against poverty, suffering, anil
the shabby, hungry life of the
slums.
To combat that life. Chevalier
deliberately learned the tricks
that, brought, him fame—a gay
song, a provocative smile —and
charm.
Once a well-known American
writer said Chevalier produces
charm like Ilenry Ford turns out
automobiles.
At the turn of the century, a
ragged little boy in the squalid
slums of Paris would paint bight
pictures for his work-weary mo-
ther. When a dinner of soup
left the small family still hun-
gary, and work as a charwom-
an left his mother weary and
discouraged — young Maurice
would paint bright word pro-
! mixes to his mother.
| He told her of a house lie
I would have some day, one with
fflowers around the front- with a
| real rocker in the living room
I for her to rest in. He told her of
! the silk dress he would buy—and
the dinners with dessert.
He dreamed so much, he was
! finally expelled from school. In
succession lie worked as a car-
penter, as an apprentice to an
electrician, and in a nail factory.
But always—to his youthful
mind—only the entertainment
world could offer the rich pro-
| fits that would buy a house and
a silk dress. Finally—after many
| jobs where he earned an average
I of two dollars a Week—lie de-
cided to try his dream.
As the young Chevalier rea-
| soiled---in another live year.-; it

Nation Will Keep
Faith With Its
Fighting Men
BUFFALO, N. Y. (UP) —The
nation will keep iaith with its
fighting men by giving them
job preference.
That is the promise of Selec-
tive Service Director Hershey.
He says the draft system has ac-
cepted its responsibility to vet-
erans. If jobs are scarce, he adds,
it is the clear intention of con-
gress that the veteran he given
preference.
With that in mind, Hershey
says the 6400 local draft boards
throughout the nation have been
instructed to assist returning
servicemen to obtain reinstate-
ment in their former jobs or
find new ones. He adds, howev-
er, thai the draft, hoards will
need much help—the job is big
enough for the efforts of all who
will aid.
General Hershey makes this
statement: "It must be remem-
bered that the veteran made his
sacrifice so that others may con-
tinue to enjoy the privileges of
the American way of life.
The draft director also re-
peats his stand in favor of peace
time military training. He says:
"Today's warfare has changed
in a manner that the risk of tin-
preparedness is tantamount to
courting disaster."
General Hershey spoke last
night at Buffalo, N. Y.

| as a red-nosed
Paris music lial
ley bought the
I wanted. One of his first presents
I to his mother—after the house
I was a white-gold ring with liny
I diamond chips.
Chevalier's first real success
dates back to the day when he
I first met Mistinguette — the
I French dancer. Then, he was
ijust IS yen's old. Tht famed
darling of Paris took one look at
I him and said. "You need have
i no worry about your future with
! a smile like yours.''
That was in 1007 I' >v years
I co-starred with MistinguetU
I the French "Folies Bergere." In
j 1020. he teamed with Elsie .lanis
j and went to London to appear
j in "Hello America." It was there
| Jesse Lasky signed him for ;i
role with Paramount.
In Hollywood. Chevalier star-
red in several pictures, including
"Innocents of Paris," "The Love
Parade," "The Big Pond" and
"Folies Bergere."
When—in 1035—he returned
to Paris because he was "seeck"
of playing the same character in
pictures, Paris offered him the
highest salary ever paid a Fren-
j eh entertainer. In the Chalet
theater in Paris, lie sang to an
audience that paid $10 a ticket
For 15 appearances he received
lover one-million francs—more
than $100 a song.
Now the famed French come-
dian—who rose from the slums
of Paris to be the highest-paid
entertainer in France — must
answer charges of using that
million - franc personality to
cheer up the Nazis.
