RES TTHEATRE TODAY

Although the title of this feature suggests the battlefield, it is not a war play, but a lively and entertain ing version of Louis Joseph Vance's novel of the same name. "No Mans Land" is an island on the Pacific coast to which young bride is taken by her husband, who proves to oe 2 German spy. Although the war has brought many spy plays, they serve an excellent purpose in keeping be- fore the eyes of the public the neces- sity for watchfulness these days. This play is convincing, emotional and dramatic and offers a stimulating bit of entertainment for motion picture houses.
 The adoption of MT. Vance's novel for the screen has been splendfdly acheived by Albert Shelby Le, Vino and Bert Lytell. The narrative is CO., herent fro mthe start. and the sub- titles are natural and characteristic. The acting photography, technical handling, settings and the moral ef- fec are all praiseworthy and not much more remains to be said of any picture. MT. Lytelll made hand- somehero. and wa sably seconded by Anna 0. Nilsson as the heroine. who has never looked more beautiful than as Katherine Gresham.

THE SALVATION sCF THE WORLD DEPENDS ON THE ARMY OF
 6,oo,oo0 THAT UNCLE GAM IS RAISING.
TO TAKE FLOWER OF AMERICA
BIIIIens Of Money Required to Prop sriy Equip and Care for the z Forcee That Arc Fighting
 Your Dattlss.

Uncle Sam is rapidly preparing foi an increase of his fighting forces to an aggregate strength of 6,000.O00 men. This was the figure agreed upon in the Paris conference of sev. eral months ago as necessary to 2 speedy allied control of the situation and eventual victory for allied arms. America alone could produce the men.
 France already has put practically every available man in the ranks. England has drawn upon her man power to a point that Is beginning to make itself felt in the production of war munitions Belgium has all of her little remnant of population lined up along the front almost to a man. And Italy has all she can do to care for herself.
 This five million will represent the flower of Americas fighting material.
 Upon 1t will depend to no small degree the ultimate issue of the war. To 1t all Europe will be looking in eager expectation from the moment 1t takes the field aggressively. It is expected to be the straw that will break the Prussian camers back.
 We must do our full duty by that five million in the next loan.
 And in doing this we must not over. look this fact In its ranks will be thousands and thousands of boys who are now at home. Some of these will be from our own firesides. They will be our boys ir literal truth. No long CT will that army be an impersonal unit. It will be made up largely ot our own flesh and hood.
 Every time you buy bond you will be lending to your own. For few households will escape the combins process of the next draft.
 Don't forget this. The Fourth Lib erty Loan campaign opens Sept. 2S Your country snd your sons need your help. .ss..s
 If you have . son eligible for serv ice, look him oyer before you de eide upon the amount of your pur chase.
 You'd give a good deal more than will be asked of you to have him safely back.
 And the better, prepared that army Is the sooner it will finish it's work; the less danger he will be subjected to-; the quicker he will return. Do your part by that five million and your boy.
 Get ready to do 1t early.
