But it certainly cer-tainly wiU be the happiest for Eileen. ? Eileen Is a petite, dark-eyed colleen who is so proud of being Irish that she refused to be knockled under to convention and add a "ski" to her name when she decided to be a ballerina. She sot her; Irish up about the Japanese back in 1941, when she stopped at Yokohama and Tokyo on an Oriental tour. The Japanese' Japan-ese' weren't very polite. At Yokohama, Yoko-hama, 60 immigration officials swarmed over the ship, and gave all the women a "thorough" ex amination, even rolling back their eye-lids. And if that wasn't enough, they stayed away in droves from the Imperial hotel ballroom in To kyo, where Eileen danced. Those were the days of stout Japanese nationalism and foreign dancers, even if they were younff and beautiful, were frowned upon. For vGIs This Time Eileen didn't like it at all, and on her way home via Manila she stopped long enough to give the folks back home a radio word-picture word-picture of what she thought of Japan and the possibility of war. Now Eileen is going back to Tokyo, something she said she didn't think she'd ever do again. But this time she'll dance for the GI's under the sponsorship of the USO, and she is convinced the reception will be better. After all, she danced her way into the hearts of thousands of GI's in the ETO. Eileen decided to be a ballet dancer when she was a wee bit of a tike. She lived in Denver in those days. By the time she was seven she had come to New York for dancing lessons. From then on it was strictly career. She got bounced from a nightclub night-club job in Hollywood when she was 13 too young. She got bounced from London in 1938, that time by the U. S. state department de-partment which was worried about Munich and its implications and wanted U. S. nationals home. But the dancing she thinks she is going to like best is her return re-turn engagement in Tokyo. Those Nips never should have trifled with the Irish. -XT L .Eileen O'Connor: The Nips should have been more polite.
