Eddie Cantor Gives
Show Face Lifting
By LEON GUTTERMAN
HOLLYWOOD. — An almost
completely new "Eddie Cantor
Show" will be broadcast over NBC
Thursdays starting Sept. 26. when
the comedian returns to the air
for his 1946-47 season. Eddie in-
forms me that Margaret Whiting
has beeii7iigned as the program's
featured singer. She is the daugh-
ter of the late Richard Whiting,
who wrote many of the hits Eddie
sang in "Ziegfeld Follies." Within
the last year the young singer has
made a name for herself both on
NBC and on records.
Cookie Fairchild (his real name
is Ziskind—get it?) and his or-
chestra will be back with Cantor
after a two-year absence from the
program. Harry von Zell will be
the only holdover from last year's
show.
Each week, Eddie says, there will
be a character - comedian guest,
and occasionally there will be
prominent guest stars. The new
series will accent situation comedy
and music, supplemented by pub-
lic service campaigns such as
Cantor often has inaugurated.

This Saturday Night
CAMP TRE, Va.—A man who
"knew" Nazi concentration camps,
a religious teacher both in Ger-
many and America, Pvt. Henry 0.
Bernstein has been awarded the
camp commander's prize for the
best essay submitted in a camp
contest. The camp paper's story
of Pvt. Bernstein's award was
headed: "Rabbi Who Knew Nazii
Deems KP a Privilege."
The camp commander, Maj.
Gen. James E. Edmonds, was pub-
lisher of the New Orleans Times-
Picayune before entering service.
The text of Pvt. Bernstein's
essay, titled "Only Those Who
Know—", follows:
"Here, I am wearing a uniform.
In Germany I could wear no uni-
form at all. I have been digging
ditches, doing K.P. and many
tasks with which I have been un-1
familiar. But I am very glad to
do it. When I took out my first
papers to become a citizen of this
country, I asked myself if there
were any way in which I might
show my appreciation to my new
country. The Selective Service Act
was passed and then came my
chance. I volunteered for service
in the Army. I feel that I must
earn my citizenship. I know the
situation in the countries of Eu-
rope and I can tell you, only those
who know Germany, Russia and
Italy can truly appreciate the
freedom in America. By thus earn-
ing my right to be a citizen I hope
to be able to tell others that they
too, in order to breathe the free-
dom of this country, must be
ready to share the responsibilities
as well as the pleasures of their
new land."
