PowerPoint Show by Andrew
The Hollywood Canteen operated between October 3, 1942, and November 22, 1945 as a club offering food, dancing and entertainment for servicemen, usually on their way overseas. A serviceman's ticket for admission was his uniform and everything at the canteen was free of charge.
Stars volunteered to wait on tables, cook in the kitchen and clean up. One of the highlights for a serviceman was to dance with one of the many female celebrities volunteering at the Canteen.
