pantomime at old Drury Lane Theatre,

New Victory Film

The Official War Review, No. 1e, to
be released November 4. is a Victory
film. On the Italian front Italy's
victorious troops, aided by her allies,
press forward across the rugged noun
tains and into the war-swept plains
The great cable way, the Teleforica,
swings guns and munitions to the
front, defying chasms and precipices,
and on the snowy heights sure-footed
dogs carry ammunition to the fighters.
On the Marine French and Americans
prepare to push forward against the
retreating Huns, while long lines of
prisoners keep streaming back. Long
mont is retaken from the foe. In
Palestine the British armies under
General Allenby give the Turks no
rest. Tractors draw great howitzers
across the sands and city after city
yields to the conouerors. On the Amer
lean front is shown the forward push"
of the Yanks and how the soldier boys
from overseas are contributing to the
downfall of German militarism. Victory
is in the air.

Copy According to
Film Methods
My dear H. u.


Approaching as l do your prowess in
the cincmatographic world come to
you with suggestion.
Why not hold up to ridicule some of
the preliminary bunk that producers
persist in peddling TO audiences before
actual motion pictures are finally
placed upon the screen?
Do you really suppose that anybody
outside the motion picture business
cares two whoops who cranked the
camera that photographed the finn
Did you ever see an audience register
anything but relief at the final termina-
ton of the elaborate preliminaries as
to who directed the picture. who pro-
duced it, who wrote the captions and
who conceived the idea of the final
closeup?
Really, if movie fans actually like
that stuff, why don't you make an eff
fort to please them? Assuming that
producers have the right idea, you
ought to follow suit.
Why not dish up your stuff some
thing like this:

titles, or Why Audiences Go Home.

A Letter From

Dear Lady Hyperbole: Languishing
here in hospital, my thoughts incline
naturally to the sin centre, so different
from this tank centre
So pause a moment in your tea
scrimmages at Che Biltmore, sacrifice
enc cup of tea at the Ritz, or one muf-
fin at the Aston, and dash off one of
your Rabelaisian notes in the writing
room. AS write a gentleman is recit-
ing the 23d Psalm near the stove.

craps with equal fervor; and next to

France, which l should describe as a
portion of the world two-thirds water
and one-third mud. They say we are
to have peace, and I am not one of
those dissatisfied Alexanders always

quer.
Indeed, should be willing to confine
my future campaigns to that world of
which the Brevoort is the capital and
the Black Cat the mascot. Also, in the
dear dear days beyond recall, wasn't
there Purple Pup and Vermillion
Hound?
No previous experience counts over
here, for tanldng in No Mans Land is
so different. One must be a mechanic,
and you know the only mechanical de-
vice with which I was expert was the
corkscrew.

of which your pen panegyrics. I'll say
that most Of the pictures I've seen are

y THE TRAIL OF THE MOTION PICTURE
William Far71ur1 and the
Kitchen Policemen

were in front of it, only the gunner
wasn't straight shot, or he didn't
have it focused right, or some
thing. We saw him turning the crank,
but, Of course, a machine gun looks
just like movie camera.
Mr.. Farnum wore uniform all
covered with mud and both knees were
sticking out, and they were very dirty.
He had horrible, week-old beard
painted on with gray paint, and while
we watched he set up a mirror on a
blasted stump and painted nasty cash
on his forehead, with blood running all
down his neck.
Then he took wounded comrade on
his back and started to crawl across
No Mans Land, with three people turn
ing cranks on him, only this time they
were cameras and not machine guns.
And finally he got safely through the
barbed wire and the New York Guards
rushed out of the trenches and rescued
him, and everybody breathed once
more.
And then strapping person in
khaki, who proved to be one Of Uncle
Sans chauffeurs, called out, "Who
wants to go back to New York;" And
Captain Egan, Lieutenant Haynes, Scott
Dunlap and we volunteered.
So we flew back to New York in a
khaki-colored car, and we sat next to
! the handsome lieutenant, and learned
all about India, the Boer War, the
Philippines and every other war we
have had lately. 1t must seem funny
for Lieutenant Haynes to be playing at
movie war when he has done nothing
but fight since he was fifteen years old.
Oh, we forgot to say that Captain
Egan looks just like General Pershing,
and he is going to impersonate him In
the new picture, only we don't know
the name Of the picture.
And after we got back to New York
we remembered that we hadn't had any
interview with William Farnum. All
we talked about at lunch-mess-was
steak and coffee and peas and being
hungry, and after he crawled away into
No Mans Land we couldn't get near
enough to him without getting in the
picture, and we didn't care to make our
debut that way.
