ginning Sunday. December L.
The pictures that Baron de Malaussene

productions IN film Of the daily happen
ings among the armies. and some of them
show the battlefelds after the battles,
The films have been carefully arranged
and are In no sense pictures of actual
battles. Baron de Malaussene has stated
that pictures Of battles are actually i'm

ing as it is now going on.
