BATTLE r GIVEN
OVATION AT STRAND
Seven Thousand People Leap to their
Feet and Applaud Great Picture.

fFrom Minneapolis Tribune of January 81
"Peace at Any Price" is not the senti-
ment of Minneapolis people, if the audi
ences at the Strand theater yesterday and
last night, when The Battle Cry of Peace
was given its first showing here to over
1000 people, is any criterion
In keeping with the spirit of the picture,
Manager Keough had an exhibit of rapid
fire and machine guns, and torpedo in
front OF the theatre, while the ticket TAX
ers were dressed in the uniforms of U. S.
soldiers.
Audience Leaps to Its Feet.
Big moments in the play were heartily
applauded. AT N time, when Liberty is
shown shackeled amid the desolation
brought on by the invading hosts of a for
eign army, the picture of the esprit of
Li~berty"-the old man and middle aged
man playing flies, and a boy beating a
drum, appeared, the audience leaped to
its feet with great cheers.
The picture is avowedly a "prepared-
ness" propaganda play, and from the mo-
ment it opened with the caption "America
is the land of peace and plenty" until the
close, showing the ruin of a country's
foremost cities, there was not a dull mo-
ment. A picture of President Wilson at
the end brought a thunder of cheers,
while the crowd in the house stood to a
man when the orchestra played "The Star
Spangled Banner.
Play is Spectacular.
Spectacular is the only name that could
be applied to "The Battle Cry of Peace
and it is almost impossible to realize the
magnitude of the scale on which it has
been produced. There are thousands of
people in the play, while buildings and
ships are burned and blown up with an
utter disregard to expense. Big guns are
shown in action and torpedoes are drop
ped from ~destroyers, their course being
plainly visible as they wend their way to-
ward their prey.
There was but little opportunity for the
audience to laugh during the entire play,
but it did laugh decisively when the peace
meeting in the Hotel Harmony broke uI
in a fight; also when diagrams showing
the comparative military strength of the
United States were shown.
Following the play proper are a serie.
of pictures showing the manner in which
the United States can be prepared for an,
emergency, that of more ships and artil
cry, and men who are prepared by earl,
military training.
