- The Warrlor.n

1.-THE Warrior" which will be
presented at the Grand on Wednes-
day, July 10 offers Maciste in one OF
his most notable roles wherein his
giant strength is brought to the fore
ground and surrounded by story
full of thrills, excitement and action
The producers wish to impress on the
general public that 'The Warrior
is not a war picture in any respect,
although taken on the Italian from
tier.
The play is not drown out nor is
there any semblance Of padding.
Those who witnessed Maciste in
"Cabiria" will more than appreciate
his work in THE Warrior. His
giant strength is used to overcome all
sorts OF odds. such as pushing big
rboulders over the side of the noun
tains, fighting against all kinds OF
odds in the way of many opponents,
diving from a high bridge on horse
back, lifting cannons, dragging three
men by a rope over long distance
through the snow and many other feats
of strength that are not only wonder
ful to the eye OF the spectator, but
also very humorous in the extreme.
This picture will be shown for the one
day only at regular admission prices

THE remaining preliminary
task was to determine the order
in the 100000 iegistrants
we're to be called to determine
their availability for military
service. This was accomplished
On July 20 by a great central
ottery in Washington which
ixed the order of call for the

order determined, the boards
proceeded promptly to call, to ex-
mine physically and to consider
.laims for exemption of a suffi-
lent number of men to fill the
first national quota of 687, 900
men.
"At the Presidents call all
ranks of the natior, reluctantly
entering the war, nevertheless
instantly responded to the first
call of the nation with a vigor
and unselfish cooperation that
submerged all individual inter-
est in a single endeavor toward
the consummation of the nation-
al task.

There existed no mechanism for

who feared the total failure of
