Show i Cherbourg Dances After ! ! Wait of Five Long Years CHERBOURG, FRANCE. For j the first time in five long years j people danced in the streets of Cher- j bourg. It was Bastille day the French day of independence and the cele- j bration was held next to the harbor, ; where a very short time ago men died in battle. American soldiers, nurses and officers, of-ficers, British troops and French sailors who helped to liberate this historic city danced along with the French people. While a band played, first serious music and then American jazz, the French people looked on in almost disbelief. Finally the tension broke and the crowd iformed a little circle as an American captain started f dancing with a Normandy girl. |
