Donna, hailed as one of Hollyoo's next stars, was a natural choice for the role of a soldier’s sweetheart -- in real life her fan mail rates her as one of the top favorites with service men everywhere. Wesley Ruggles is directing the comedy of Army Life, picturization of the best seller.” / Lower left, stamped in blue, "PROPERTY OF PHOTOPLAY-MOVIE MIRROR MAGAZINE RETURN TO LIBRARY 1994" / Lower left, in graphite, "145"
