 IN FAMOUS PIECE

In the career of every motion pie ture celebrity, there comes a time when she appears in a picture that stands out pre- eminently, and at once lifts her above the plane of just a star and places her in what might be called the ''super-star' or "de luxe class. This has happened to Viola Dana, and the picture responsi- ble is Metros superb production of the famous stage play, Blue Jeans," which is the attraction at the Lamara for today and tomorrow. In the character of June" she has evolved a role that will always associate her name with the list of those who have been responsible for the most impor- tant pictures of the age. Reviewers everywhere have written columns III praise of the wonderful work done py the star in this picture, and freely predict that her releases will here after be even more eagerly sought than heretofore, and this in spite of the fact that she is known to hun- dreds of thousands throughout the land and already occupied an en- viable place in the estimation of the patrons of the silent drama having entrenched herself firmly through her eACtlltIlI CidldCltIlZdlIulS III A dlrl Without a Soul" Lady Barnacle, '' "Aladdin's Other Lamp .The Mortal Sin" "The Winding Trail' and others too numerous to mention.

 It is impossible to eXpatiate too eX- tensively upon the thrills and intens- ity of this picture. Money has been spent with a lavlsh hand in securing the biggest, most thrilling scenes pos sible for this tremendous feature. Twenty five thousand dollars was spent for a train wreck for just one of the many big scenes An automobile was smashed to bits in the most thrill ing auto accident ever seen on the screen, fer another scene. A small fortune was spent in securing abso- lutely correct hunting costumes for the actors who participate in the biz hunt dinner and the hunt itself is the motion picture of the annual fox hunt held by one of the most famous hunt ing clubs in the country.

EMPTY POCKETS" IS
 COMING TO THE HIP

Empty Pockets" from Rupert Hughes novel of the same name, opens today at the Hip for a three days stay. Empty Pockets is billed as the fastest crook play ever filmed and it should find planty of admirers for it was read by thousands when it ran as a story in the Red Book last year. Mr. Hughes takes his charac- ters from every side of New York life. Perry Merithew, exquisite, mil lionaire, walking fashion plate, de spoiler of women, tweaked ladies ears rubbed elbows with railroad presidents, and whose doings were followed by breathless feminine mil lions of Sunday paper readers.
 Merithew had a fondness for red headed women-it was his one weak ness. Around this known fact tWined the threads which MT. Hughes clev- crly weaves into a remarkable story, for Merithew was found dead on the

It depicts the trials of q little country waif, whose fight for happiness includes her being ostra cized by her townspeople, the loss of many of her friends, and the final triumph of love and virtue over the villainous designs of hate and jeal- ousy, the climax being reached when June srescues her husband from cer- tain death in a saw mill, in one of the most thrilling scenes ever staged for a motion picture.

After leaving the train | suppose all
told we must have liked sixty or sew
enty miles, that is from the time we
left the other front unit! we reached
our destination. We are just now
seven kilometers from where the
Marines won fame at Chateau Thierry.
We passed by the Belleau Woods. We
hadn't any more than gotten our hos
pital up when we began to receive
patients. We have visited the ruins
of a once beautiful town and to-day
it is an isolated town as far as the
population is concerned. After visit
ing this country and seeing the shell
holes and abandoned equipment, in
Guiding all kinds Of shoes and cloth
ing and worlds OF guns, hand gren-
AIDES, trench mOrtars and other things
too numerous to mention, anyone can
readily see what wonderful fighters
the Marines are. There wasn't much
fighting in the Alsace sector where
we were, but after seeing the country
as it stands to-day We can imagine
what it was only q few weeks ago.
Yesterday We took a swim in the
Marne River, ard close to it was a
large railway bridge shot in two by
artillery fire. This country certainly
is suitable for defense, as there are
plenty of woods around here. All
along close to the Bei!eau Woods the
Germans had machine gun empIace-
ments about every five feet.

their son, Victor, who was with the
Farmers and Merchants bank before

Co. I, Signal Corps.
February 27, 1918.
Dear Folks: We arrived here yes
terday about p. M, and have been
busy ever since At present time we
are just getting lined up. We had
a good bed last night and l never slept
better in my life. We have two good
wooden blankets on our beds. We
have plenty of good grub and large
bag to put our things in, but as yet
we have not received cur uniforms or
shoes. The trip from Chicago down
here was fine, and yesterday was just
like an October day in old Wiscon-
sin, there being no snow or ice here.
One Of the first things that | had to
do was to stand guard for a couple OF
hours-some job, believe me! We
were vaccinated for smallpox and got
a shot for typhoid fever. So far [
have had a fine time, and would not
have missed it for anything. Rob
Hirschinger just came in and he has
been ordered to New Jersey to work
in a railroad office. we do not know
how long we will be here, but | don't
think that it will be very long. There
are a lot of new fellows coming in
every day, and things are a little
crowded at present. The buildings
here are made of red brick and the
grounds are clean. It certainly looks
almost like a small city.
The fellows here are fine, but, OF
course this is a new life to US and 1t
takes some time to get acquainted
with the place.
Well, mother, don't worry about me,
because I am well, happy and salts
fed. | will write to the others later
on. With love to all.
Your son and brother,
VICTOR.
