smoothness and lack OF confusion with
which the program OF training is pro-

much as seen big gun before this
encampment was undoubtedly small,
as all Of them come from country
where guns larger than squirrel rifles
are as scarce as hens teeth. And yet

training, swing one of Uncle Sans

the layman would be inclined to think
they were regulars. Only they and the
regulars instructing them know that
the things they still have to learn are
almost too numerous yet to enumerate.
But this does not detract from the
credit due them for the progress they
are making with their lessons in coast
defense, the progress being the result
of their unfagging willingness and
commendable eagerness to master
the art so many of them have given
up their vacations to learn.

A MUTUAL MASTERPICTURE
AT THE EMPIRE TODAY

The beautiful Gaumont actress
Marguerite Courtot, playing for the
Mutual Masterpietures, is starred at
the Empire theater today in fFeath-
ertop," a five act photodrama of
smart society with romantic and
humorous situations. The plot al
lows for a wide variety in setting
and Characterization which makes
possible unusual acting. There is
the simple life of the seaside and
sailor folk, the quietude of a hor-
ticulturist's green house and the
staggering social life of great city.
In short this is a finished produc-
ton of the motion picture art. The
Empire is also showing good sim
gle reel comedy. Owing to the fact
that there was no electric power for
the shows last night, the Empire
will show return engagement OF
the twelfth episode OF THE Strange
Case of Mary Page" next Wednes-
day.
