It's the largest, most active movie
concern in the world It's amusing
anywhere from 100000 to 100000
spectators week, and it gives shows
so close to the front line in France
that hardly night passes that some
audience doesn't have to pack up and
dig for cover right in the middle of the
thrillingest thrill.
For shrapnel, you know, is no re-
spector of persons. And big shells rip
things up and gas waves never stop,
no matter if Mary Pickford is smiling
her sweetest, or Lillian Gish is show
ing her teeth in her closest closeup,
or Doug. Fairbanks is leapng from
church spire to church spire and las
sooing bad men on the way.
The concern is amphibious. Not
only does it operate in all territory in
France, England and the United States
where lighting men are; it stretches
out into the seas and takes in trans
ports, battleshps, all vessels which
have space large enough for the set
ting up of machine and the hanging
of curtain for film projection.
