( The official British government war pictures showing particularly the tanks at the battle of the Ancre, will be shown at the Best theatre Monday and Tuesday,
 The pictures show the giant Brit ish tanks, the colossal war mon sters, huge, almost uncanny in ap- pearance, live, fire breathing dragons that plunge their mighty way thru barb-wire entanglements, leap trenches, battle their way thru for ests, over swamps and into the trenches of the enemy, .spitting out their rain of fire, the mighty van guards of the advancing army of tho allies.
 No history, however vividly written, could tell of such scenes as these films picture with tho unlying eye Of the motion picture camera. The ad- vance of the supply trains and troops the brave soldiers waiting eagerly in the first line trenches eager for the command to charge--then the com mand, and over the top they go into the maeistrom of vars fury into tho enemy trenches, while behind them the giant howitzers auriing out their curtain of fire beat down the first three lines of defense-it ujctures the capture of whole regiments of Ger man troops-scenes in dressing camps and commissary, while mingled with the grim reality are the scenes of jul bilatiCn in the victor's camps at the triuna}hal return of the victorious allies.
