"Officer 666," McHughs mirthful farce drama has been more than once shown in Birmingham in the legitimate circuits and this week at the Odeon Two will be presented by George Kleine, with stel- lar cast. Dan Moyles, as police officer 6s6, has made for himself an enviable reputation and will prove a large drawing card in the production.
 The entire plot is taken by Kleine and he has more than reproduced the merry stage scenes in moving pictures. The camera has the advantage of the stage in that it can record the swift changes from scene to scene, substituting action in many instances for the spoken word Of course the rich Irish brogue of Dan Movies cannot be reproduced by even the most versatile director, but everything else will be presented, with new features in scenery that will take

KILLED A WOMAN SOLDIER The Bride of Russian Officer Fought
 by His Side

The Vossische zeitung quotes the fol- lowing from an officers letter from the Polish front:
 | Here we are in Poles land--ahout five miles from the so-ealled high road. in l a so-called village, far from all civiiza- ton, says the New York Spn. Tho inhab | itants fight shy of us like beaten dogs or like children, and when they want to ask anything of us they kneel as in tho time of serfdom and want to kiss the hem of our coats. The village con sists of dilapidated huts such as we should not use as stables for our horses. Rain comes steadily down just as if the heavens wanted to clear our earth of all sin. We had been advancing for 54 hours until we reached this village, and here was witness of the conclusion of . pathetic love story.
 Just as I was opening the door of a pea asant house Il noncommlssioned officer of the regiment comes out to meet me with a grinning face. He had
 just, with handful of men. partly killed and partly taken prisoners half a com pany of Russians. We enter through the low doorway into the interior of the hut. and my first glance falls upon a verJ young Russian soldier-almost child--
 who was sleeping upon a mattress of straw and smiling in his dreams. We come nearer. 1 put my hand upon his foi oiehead-cod as ice. The boy is dead. The men approach to take off his wet clothes. They stand in semi-circle round him. Suddenly there Is whispering and
 a horror seems to have seized these brave
 fellows who otherwise are not afraid of
 any power in the world. One steps out
 and says: Excuse me, sir, the Russian
 soldier is a girl!'
 This in the war of 1914, As we after
 ward learned, she was the bride of a
 Russian officer. and had fought with him
 throughout the campaign, shoulder to
 shoulder, and was at last struck dead
 by a bullet in her breast. We all barred
 our heads and we gave her solemn fu-
 neral
