“Donna Delbert**—
Air Force Deserter
BURTONWOOD, England </P)—
The U. S. airforce today formally
accused Donna Delbert, the cutest
music hall fire-eater in Britain, of
leading a double life.
The airforce asserted that Don-1
na, with her hair cut off, is private'
Delbert Hill of Philadelphia, a de
serter since 1945. I
The provost marshal of the air
force base here ordered Hill to
trial on a desertion charge before
a general court martial Friday
morning.
The fantastic masquerade came
to an end on April 7 at Newcastle.
Acting on a tip from an undis
closed source, British police pick
ed up the 36-year-old Hill at a (
theatrical boarding house where J
he stayed between turns on the
stage. |
Hill was hefty but fetching in
women’s clothing, a shoulder
length hair-do and plucked eye
brows. A girl assistant in the fire
eating act said she had been with
him for months without suspect
ing the truth.
“Donna Delbert, demon fire
eater.” was Hill’s billing.
The airforce cropped “Donna’s”
i hair to GI length, outfitted him
| with a set of fatigues and put him
in the prisoners’ stockade to grow
i a new set of eyebrows while they
I investigated the case.
The formal charge today fol
lowed.
