E.AfpEY rs "a VOICE
FROM THE TRI1NCIIES''

"a voice from the trenches" is the
way Sergeant Empey's great story
"Over the Top" has been described
by critics. As a drama with the
fighting sergeant in the very role he
enacted in the trenches it Will be
shown next Tuesday at the Alta the

The soldier-author with this play
holds the mirror to human nature as
he found It in the English private
soldier. His story viii appeal to
young and old alike. to all who love
pathos and humor, great deeds and
manly men.
The New York Times in comment
Ing on the story, lover the Top" said:
prospective soldiers can learn here
pretty nearly just what is awaiting
them, in both incident and sensation.
while their folks at home Will be
heartened."
Like the book. this Vitagraph drama
is filled with anecdotes that will bring
the smile and laughter. Empey
proves that life in the trenches is not
all gloom by any means. He says:
war is not a pink tea, but in a
worthwhile cause like ours, mud
rats, coolies. shells, wounds or death
itself are far outweighed by the deep
sense of satisfaction felt by the man
who does his bit. There is one thing
