Heart of a City (by Lesley Storm; produced by Gilbert Miller). The only London theater that has never shut down, come blitz or blackout, is the tiny Windmill with its breezy nonstop revue. In Heart of a City English Playwright Storm has pictured backstage life at the Windmill while the bombs are falling outside. Lovely and lightly clad showgirls duck in & out of dressing rooms, rehearse, have their fun, lose their hearts, stifle their fears.

Most effective display of bulging biceps was the dispatch of hundreds of bombers on nonstop trips to distant French destinations, flights which more than equaled the mileage to Berlin-as British newspapers were careful to point out. Responsible for the flights to France was Air Chief Marshal Sir Edgar Rainey Ludlow-Hewitt, head of the Bomber Command. Tall, spare, methodical, he is a practiced muscle flexer, for he has commanded the R. A. F. in Iraq and India...
