COMING, MAJOR!

By

Publisher: Lippincott

With line drawings to match by Ray Inman, here are the bright, buoyant and often funny curtain-raising experiences of Ezra Stone in the Army. Upton, where the Army didn't forget Henry Aldrich as quickly as Ezra would have chosen: the erratic, enigmatic procedures of army housekeeping, visitors Sundays, and the kitchen: then Ezra's decision to do something about staging some real shows for the camps, which led to taking Brother Rat on tour, roughing it up ad lib from camp to camp. Back again to the home base -- the big La Guardia show -- and the tour of This Is The Army, into the midst of which was injected his marriage and honeymoon on a troop train...Anecdotes and antics which are highspirited and provide exuberant entertainment.
