We get the feeling that the subject addressed in the attached article was a common topic of conversation throughout the entire home front, and not just Hollywood: are movie stars too necessary to be drafted? Collier's man on the coast, Kyle Crichton (1896 - 1960), certainly thought so:

"The movies are one of our lines of defense. It is as stupid to throw away a Micky Rooney or a Henry Fonda as it would be to draft an airplane designer to make him a grease monkey...Clarke Gable shouldn't be allowed to be a soldier. He has a duty and Hollywood has a duty and they should be made to stick to it."
