sacrifice as a privilege and great chivalrous love.
 In photographing the real bursting shrapnel at the Indian Head, Md, pro- wing grounds, four heavy guns were to shell an improvisely, enemy trench at given signal. Every one sought shelter in dugout except Directar Alan Crosland and his aide. who made ready the focus. Just then Colonel Dunlap, United States Marine Corps, approached and explained that al- though the range had been graphical ly taken, there was never any certain ty that it was correct until the first gun had been fired.
 Crosland stood his ground and de- cided to "take a chance" The four uncanny shrieks came toward them, four shells burst over the trenches and they were safe. The bursting shrapnel was photographed and some realistic atmosphere was secured for tme picture.
 An opportunity will be had in this feature to view our Marine under act ual fighting conditions, and no body of men is more capable of depicting genuine snap and realistic military action than they.
