BELGIAN WAR ZONE PICTURES.

The first actual presentation in New
Orleans of authorized motion pictures
from the European war zone will take
place at the Tulane Theater, Sunday,
December 18th. By special arrange.
ment with the Chicago Tribune and
the New Orleans Item the manage
ment is enabled to bring these remark
able views direct from the fighting
field to New Orleans via Chicago, a
large proportion of the receipts going
to the Red Cross Fund for the relief
of the stricken children, widows and
homeless of Belgium.
The first public exhibition of the pic
lures in the United States was made
at the Studebaker Theater. Chicago.
The receipts for the first day, half of
which goes to the Red Cross of Bel
GUM, amounted to nearly $4,000.
Edwin +. Weigle is a Tribune staff
photographer who was sent to Europe
at the outbreak of the war. He con-
nected with King Albert's army and
was allowed to take the pictures only
after reaching an agreement with the
Belgian government.
The reel starts with a panorama of
Antwerp, taken from the cathedral a
few days before the city was taken by
the Germans. The Kaiser's men were
bombarding the outer forts of the city
with the heavy siege guns when Wei
gle was photographing the city.
The pOntoon bridge across the River
Scheldt, across which thousands of
women and fatherless children crossed
ahead of the German army, is shown
in the picture.
The battles of Termonde, Alost, Ma
lines and Lierre are flashed on the
screen. The Belgian soldiers at Alost
are first shown digging trenches in the
beet fields where they later meet the
German attack. The firing of cannon
and the devastating explosions of the
German shrapnel in the ranks of the
Belgian infantry flashes on the screen
with terrible reality.
The reel from the battle of Alost to
the fall of Antwerp is a succession OF
fatherless children, with their sisters
and little brothers and mothers,
streaming out of the cities interrupted
by the stands of Belgian soldiery in
the trenches, their retreats, new
stands, more firing with machine guns
and rifles, followed by another retreat.
Only the dogs which draw the ma
chine guns of the Belgians seem not to
realize how terrible is the war. Weigle
caught the dog battery teams as they
lay in the rear of firing line resting,
after dragging the guns into place.
They wagged their tails and watched,
little mindful of the bullets that whis-
tied by.
The helplessness of the Belgian wo-
men and children, as they crossed the
pontoon bridge of the River Scheldt
into Holland ahead of the German oc-
Cupancy of Antwerp, is a potent argu-
ment for the adoption of Belgian or
phans by Americans. The theater was
packed during the twelve perform
ances. The reel is an hour and ten
minutes long
