Pensacola Busy

1t doesn't yet appear that Tampa
is going to seriously press her claims
as the site for the Florida Centen-
nial in 1919, but it is mighty sure
that Pensacola is pressing hers and
has been able to secure valuable con-
gressional recognition of them.
Tampa should speak up on the sub
ject; or waive her claims so that PEN
sacola may get the backing and Sc
cure the support Of the whole state.

Battle Cry Of Peace" which Is to be
shown at Houston's opera house Sun
day afternoon and evening:
There isn't money enough in our
biggest banks to pay for the advertis-
ing that this picture Is receiving every
hour OF the day. The lesson "The Bat
tie Cry OF Peace" teaches, combined
with its dramatic value. makes 1t a
winner. 1t is big appeal for pre-
paredness. picturing the pitifully In
effective condition OF American de-
tense. The picture shows the inva-
sion OF America by an unknown"
enemy. Our inadequate feet is de-
stroyed. Then comes the lombard
ment OF New York. the dropping OF
bombs into the panic-stricken mobs
and on unprotected homes, and the
moving down OF resisting citizens FOL
lowed by the selling OF helpless wo.
men and children. The plot surrounds
a rich New York family betrayed by
a spy. but this Is only incidental, for
the real story of the picture is told In
scenes which are made to speak for
themselves to teach the lesson OF pre-
paredness In a much more vivid man
ner than any acting OF characters
could. The photoplay is wonderful.
II marks new era in the cinema
world. and demonstrates the strides
that have been made in picture pro-
duction In the past year. The scene
where the dreadnaughts are sunk Is
especially spectacular. The night
scenes In New York are the best OF
the kind ever shown. Other scenes
are equally as thrilling and at the
Strand In Minneapolis this week men
and women actually cried out In
alarm. 80 realistic is the screen story.
The lead in THE Battle Cry of Peace"
IL played ably by Charles RIchman,
who seems fairly to live the part Nor
ma ralmage handles her role very
cleverly. The efforts OF the entire
cast are praiseworthy. A program
OF patriotic airs, arranged specially
for ''The Battle Cry Of Peacer make
the audiences tingle with love of

ture presentation.

The people have decided by an
overwhelming vote that the sale and
