By THE EDITOR
‘SAC’ Preview
There’s a great new picture
soon to be released by Paramount.
We sat in Friday night on an in
vitational preview showing of
“Strategic Air Command” at Om
aha’s Orpheum theater. And Om
aha, as everybody knows, is home
base and nerve center for the
U.S.’s A- and H-bomb striking
arm.
Friend wife and I have an add
ed interest in the forthcoming
film because, during World War
II, we both knew James Stewart,
the actor who has the lead role in
“Strategic Air Command.”
Background for the film we
learned from Bernie Lay, jr., co
author of the screen play.
“It’s Jim’s ... all his. Oh, I
guess he talked it over with Gen
eral LeMay; then gave the signal
to Valentine Davies and myself
and we went to work. This was
a year and a half ago.”
* * *
Bomber Pilot
James Stewart entered World
War II as an army air force pilot
(he had to get a waiver because
he was over-age). He finished pi
lot training, was assigned a B-24
heavy bomber crew. Folk around
here recall when he stopped off
at Sioux City and Lincoln air
bases to complete training for
overseas.
Arriving in the European the
ater about midway in the war
against Germany and Italy, the
lanky actor and his crew were as
signed to a group in the Second
bombardment wing in England.
James Stewart fought a tough
war and he tried earnestly and
hard to remain anonymous. Every
American and British war cor
respondent (there were hundreds
of them) tried to get at the Indi
ana, Pa., chap but he wouldn’t
give them a tumble. He stayed
on course with the business at
hand—fighting the war.
His well - earned promotions
came at regular intervals (like
many other young air command
ers).
Jim took the bombing missions
in turn and frequently he would
command vast armadas flying
over Fortress Europe.
Somewhere along the line I be
came aide-de-camp to General
Edward (“Ted”) Timberlake. Jim,
meanwhile, became a colonel and
chief-of-staff for the General.
We occupied the same quonset of
fice for about a year, living and
working together under the same
roof.
James Stewart did a great job
—flying, commanding, fighting,
administering.
* * *
No Mistakes
I can vouch for the adminis
trative records because I wrote
’em as part of my dull surface
duties. It can be said James Stew
art never made a mistake — at
least, if he did they never turned
up in the interrogations and sum
maries.
Everybody recognizes his mark
ed ability as an actor (he’s a grad
uate of Princeton and the Chau
tauqua circuit).
How then could there be any
one in the world more entitled to
play this lead role or more emi
nently qualified than James Stew
art?
The “Strategic Air Command”
film story opens in a Florida
training camp for the St. Louis
Cardinals. Stewart, a WW1I air
force veteran, is a high-priced
member of the pitching staff. He
is recalled as a reservist, resents
the idea of giving up his baseball
career. His wife (June Allyson)
likewise takes a dim view, but
they make the most of it. Frank
Lovejoy plays the role of General
LeMay, the hard-as-nails cigar
chomping chief at SAC.
Stewart has close shaves getting
checked out in B-36 and B-47 jet
bombers, but experienced and
capable flyers like Stewart are
needed to direct the influx of
young airmen.
William Daniels accomplished
some amazing and breath-taking
aerial photography, shooting in
Technicolor and Vistavision. The
preview audience occasionally
would applaud the photography in
the middle of the picture.
* * *
Great Service
Finally, after rounding out his
21 months as a reservist, Stewart
is confronted with the choice of
staying in and helping his country
during the cold war or getting
back to his baseball career.
Wives of servicemen (even air
craft commanders) have no snap.
Housing leaves something to be
desired. “Strategic Air Command”
is an emotional and aritculate
pitch for more pay and better liv
ing conditions for SAC air and
ground crews. James Stewart and
Paramount deftly get the story
across and we feel they are do
ing their country an invaluable
service with this presentation. The
film also gives SAC personnel a
wonderful morale shot in the
arm.
James Stewart’s flying will
have you on the edge of your seat.
It’s a military air story, yet not a
war picture. It’s homey and en
tertaining and you’ll get the im
pression our strategic air arm is
in good hands.
* * •
Omaha Reunion
Mrs. Georgia Rasley, manager
of the Royal theater, expects to
show the SAC film this summer.
The premiere is scheduled next
month in New York City.
At a reception and banquet at
the Fontenelle, preceding the pre
view, my wife and I had a reun
ion with the free-lancing, incred
ibly successful actor. He’s added
a couple of pounds, quite grey. We
talked about our kids and two or
three of the quonset-hut charac
ters we lived and worked with 11
years ago.
One of Jim’s twin daughters is
named Kelly. We suggested Kelly
come and get acquainted with O’
Neill. He smiled, thought it a good
Irish idea.
