1t has happened at last After
nearly every activity in the United

Boys in France Tobacco Fund" every
one wondered why the moving pic
ture folks did not wake up. And
now it has happened-a film called

be shown in Harrisburg sooner or
later. One picture concern donated
the studio. another the actors. an
other the scenario-and among the
lot of them a picture has been pro-
duced which is well worth seeing
even If il were not for charity.
The production visualizes the ad
ventures of Betty Douglas, motion
picture star. who, anxious to do her
part, reads enc OF the 24-foot posters
advertising the tobacco fund. She
visits the office of q New York mag
sZine where the idea of the fund is
described to her, and right away
quick Betty volunteers to adopt a

gets very busy, persuading all her
friends to contribute and when she
receives a letter from her tobacco
soldier" over in France the reader
would surely conclude that they will
live happily ever after" But the plot
does not go that far. 1t winds up
with Betty in an attitude of appeal,
begging the audience which has wit
messed the picture to do their bit by
contributing to "Our Boys in France
Tobacco Fund"
( This is all very interesting. but
why wait until Betty reaches this
part of the country before you loos-
en- your generosity? Maybe hundreds
of American boys will be wounded
