Thomas OF Strand Help in
Getting Results for Navy

H. M. Thomas, manager of the
popular Strand theater, is very much
,elated over a letter which he has re-
ceived from the Omaha branch of the
United States navy, which is printed
herewith: .
Omaha, April Q, 1s17.-My Dear Mr..
Thomas: I am in receipt of your letter Of
the Sth inst, enclosing the program with
the navy advertisement, and l wish to as
sure you that l deeply appreciate the cour-
tesies shown in having this notice posted
on your program, and the showing of slides
and films.
1t is such assistance as yours which en-
ables the navy to obtain the extra -runlber
of good men that tho president has called
for. I think that there Is no doubt but that
the navy advertisement on your program
will bring good results.
can not be too enthusiastic in thanking
you for the assistance you have given US
Very, truly yours, w. NJ. WADDELL,
Lieutenant u. G., U. s. Navy. Recruiting
Officer. -
Mr.. II. NJ. Thomas, Manager Strand thea
ter, Omaha, Neb. 4-.
This is just another example of
how progressive managers through
out the country are cooperating with
the government and doing everything
within their power to aid in recruit
ing. Mr.. Thomas, as well as other
showmen in Omaha and throughout
the country, stand ready and willing
to do all they possibly cap to aid the
government in every possible manner
and great many of the motion pic
ture companies are now making spe-
cial pictures to aid in recruiting.
Many OF them are giving the gross
profits to worthy relief funds.

Great War Films
Taken "Close Up to
Very Battle Fronts

The official motion pictures OF 9Th,
War" throw an interesting light upoI
the manner in which women are tax
ing the place Of men in the manufao
ture of munitions.
Three years ago the idea o
women engaging in such strenuou,
and exacting work as the making o.
huge shells and other war munition:
would have been scoffed at, but the
men are at the front and ammunitios
must be forthcoming in constantly in
creasing quantities. The women Of
England have volunteered their serw
ices cheerfully and their skill and eff
flciency are evidenced by the manner
in which the unprecedented demand
for munitions is being met.
Among the many interesting phases
are the pictures showing the name,
in which the wounded are brought
back to the trenches and given first
treatment before being removed to
the hospitals.
As the filters on which they are
carried approach the camera the ex-
pressions Of their faces can be seen.
and the nature of their injuries de-
termined. Then you are shown the
gentle, compassionate ministrations of
the surgeons. You see the dressing
of the wounds of stricken soldier
another who smokes a cigaret and
grins cheerfully as the surgeon probes
for bullet in his shoulder.
These close, intimate, realistic pho
tographs of actual war and all its at
tendant miseries make the Official
Pictures startlingly different from the
so-called war pictures" with which
the country has been flooded during
the last year.
The motion pictures Of the manu-
facture of munitions are accompa-
MED by films showing the training Of
England's great army, the titanic bat
tie of the Somme, the grand feet in
the North sea, American aviators
above the clouds, the American Am
bulance corps in France, etc.
These are the official pictures of the
war, taken by the warning govern
ments as a part of their official rec.
ords, and are being shown in this
country by arrangement with Official
War Pictures, Inc, the corporation
controlling the American rights for
the films. All the gross profits OF
this corporation will be devoted to
war relief purposes. ~
They are being distributed now by
the Pathe exchanges throughout the
country, which receives a very small
amount for the placing of them. They
were formerly released through the
General Film company's branches,
and it was with great surprise that
notice was this week received by Mr.
| c. E. Holah, manager of the local
'Pathe office, that in the future they
would be released by his company. All
of the filtas are now in their posses.
sion and anyone desiring to know how
they may obtain them for presenta.
tons should now get in touch with
them. They are being billed as "the
greatest motion pictures ever made
and if you have not seen them and
will go once you will go again and
say they really are.
