a chain of thirty army camp playhouseS
These theatres were all built by the gov
renment at cost of over $500, 900. They
are operated by the government through
the War Department Commission on
Training Camp Activities, The receipts
from the sale OF tickets go to pay for
the expense Of maintaining the theatre
and the shows which play in them, for
each theatre is intended to be self-sup-
porting.
The best shows possible 20 obtain for
the money are being produced. TO sup
ply the camp circuit, twenty eight CON-
panies are playing comediesi three OF
these are the original New York COM
panies taken off Broadway for the sum
mer to play the camp circuit. In addi-
ton to these there are about ninety acts
from the Keith vaudeville circuit and
fifty acts from the Chuatauqua and Iy-
The opening Of the smileage circuit
created a big demand for actors. Many
Of that profession are now In khaki and
are lost to the stage. This Increased the
difficulty Of getting lively shows which
would please all the men Furthermore,
the characteristics Of the various camps
are SO different that what makes a

No matter how badly man may want to

soldier has very little ready cash left for
theatre tickets after paying for ailot-
ments insurance and Liberty bonds was
realized soon after the theatres were
opened. SO the people back in the towns,
| the ninety-fiVe million workers behind

Iopportunity to give, as a present the
equivalent Of the theatre tcket-thst Is,
the "Smilegae Book" Of theatre ticket

THE MAN BEHIND THE GUN

We honor all the heroes,
That grace the khaki brown,
And all the gallant leaders,
From Major General down.
Amid wars fearful rattle,
Splendid fellows, every one,
But the man that wins the battle,
Is the man behind the gun.
Not his to make suggestion,
Or falter, or delay
His lips must never question,
He's only to obey,
Uncomplaining he must labor,
Through want and bitter cold.
With death and danger neighbor,
Or suffering untold
10 give his life If needed,
Just a unit in the plan
Where cannonS belch and rattle
Beneath the war clouds dun
In the thickest OF the battle
Is the man behind the gun.
When the bitter strife is ended.
And brighter days shall smile,
We shall know how much depended,
Upon the rank and flle
And that no drawer fellow
From Major General down
Ever heard the cannons bellows,
Or graced the khaki brown.
Let every hero royal
And every heart be loyal
70 the man behind the gun.

"The Varmint" five-reel picture with

The story is taken from the book Of the
same name and is a tale Of school life at
tho famous LawrenCevine Preparatory
school Many OF the scenes are actual
scenes Of the campus and building Of
Lawrencevlle. The spirit OF the picture
is very school-boy but minus that too
evident endeavor of old mon playing
young boys parts The acting is very
good and does not seem oVerdrawn as so
many school and college pictures often
are ANY one acquainted with Lawrence
willie can not help but recognize the spirit
of that great school.

pull are typical Everyone who will see

Our Nations Prayer

God bless our Flag and Army
AS cross the sea they go,
To yanquish in Thy holy name
a heartless fiendish foe;
Guard Thou the ships which carry
These sons of dautnless mould,
And give them the might to smite
The tyranny of old
Command our men in action
To break the ramparts hold.
And in the battle Of the Lord
Be confident and bold.
In each decisive moment
BE Leader of the fight,
Call with them Thy hidden hosts
And turn the foe to flight.
Honor the Stars and Stripes
The emblem of the Free.
Help us bring to self-bound souls
The true Democracy.
Blend in Thy sovereign will
Our Nations mind and might;
God bless our arms and navy
AS victors in the fight.
