London, during the early months
of the present war The Wind
mill, located near Piccadilly t'ir
eus. was the only theatre that
stayed open during the worst days
of London's blitz from the air,
when 35 plucky girls kept their
'Revudeville" show going con
tinuously Following the old stage
tradition, "the show must go on,"
the girls pltived in their bomb
scarred theatre to enthusiastic
servicemen who applauded not
only the lively show, but also
the courage of the cast.
First produced by Gilia*rt Mill-
er in New York in 1042, "Heart
of a City" drew much favorable
comment, including the New York
Sun review, in which Richard
l.ockridgt wrote, "More than any
part of this war we have vet seen,
"Heart of A Citv" is affectingly
real. It is real in feeling and in
dialogue, and it manages to tic
at the same time funny and ntov
ing and full of unobvious excite
, ment*."
