ity the Auditorium tomorrow
will be packed to its utmost

Camera for Avlators.

One of the new devices by which
European war aviators obtain cor
rect photograph of the enemies posi-
ton is a camera operated with a trig'
ger like pistol. 1t can take clean
and distinct photographs for military
purposes at an altitude Of 600 feet OF
more. The aviator takes aim and pulls
the trigger as though firing q revolver
The pistol camera was invented by the
Germans, but one of them was found
on board an aeroplane brought down
by the French. 1t was so simple and
effective that 1t was copied In large
numbers for French aviators.

THE LONE WOLF
ATTRACTION MONDAY

In the presentation of a swiftly
moving, tense story of mystery
and adventure, the screen is
supreme in the field of entertain.
ment, and when such a story is
the work of so brilliant an author
as Louis Joseph Vance and the
film version is prepared by such
a master hand as Herbert Bren-
on, the result is certainly well
worth watching for. Patrons of
the Peoples and Rosemary Thea
res will have this happy combi-
nation set before them on Mon
day, March 4th, when the big
Selznick-Pictures production of
THE Lone Wolf" will be the
feature attraction.
The story centers about the
deeds and adventures of a master
criminal known to the police as
the Lone Wolf. This criminal
becomes involved with a band of
crooks known as the Pack.
through his efforts to rescue
from them a lovely girl who, he
believes, is a crook herself. The
Wolf and the girl pass through
many exciting adventures, in
cluding a running fight through
the streets of Paris in taxicabs
and a battle in aeroplanes, in
flight across the English Channel.
Eventually the girl identifies her
self as a secret service agent,
but gives the Wolf his liberty
under his promise of reformation.
Hazel Dawn and Bert Lytell
are featured players in a cast
that is almost entirely of stellar
calibre, including as it does the
following: Alfred Hickman, Ed
ward Abeles, William E. Shay,
Stephen Grattan; William Riley
Hatch, Florence Ashbrooke,
Juliet Brenon, Joseph Chailles,
Ben Graham, Robert Fischer
and Master Cornish Beck.

NUT DRIVE WEEK

Let's make this nut drive week in
Marion county and particularly in
Ocala. While our schools are closed
it is possible for the children to do
vast amount of good this way. The
Boy Scouts are taking up the work
with vim. The women especially
who drive their own cars are urged to
take a crowd of children out to the
woods one morning or afternoon this
week and bring in all the nuts they
can pick up. Hull them in the woods
and take the nuts at once to the food
administration Office and spread them
on the floor to dry. At the end of the
week let's have a carload to send to
headquarters. The gathering of hick-
ory nuts seems very simple thing,
but do not neglect nor delay doing it..
The need is urgent. Lives are de-
pending on masks made from this
charcoal. perhaps Marion county lives.

Conservation Chairman for Ocala.
