SERVICE
THE CRESCENT
Major Warwick, Hero Of "OVer

The first American officer to enter
the redeemed" city of Strassbourg
was q motion picture actor, Robert
Warwick, who won his commission
as captain at the second Plattsburgh
Camp n served seventeen months
with the A, e. F., and has since been
promoted as major In the United
States Army Reserve.
Major Warwick plays the leading
role of Secret Service" William Gill
%lette's great play, which is to be
shown at the Crescent theatre on
Monday n Tuesday, September 20
and 80.
Major Warwick has been at the
front for almost two years and he
has brought back an imposing array
of war trophies, trench helmets,
dress helmets" battered by hard
service, rifles and ~revolvers the Ger
mans used. He was in all the big
shows" real fights, this time-during
his term of frontier service before he
was transferred back to this country
for some special work. Going over
a ship in front of his transport vas
sunk by a submarine, and coming
back his own vessel sank a U-boat.
He was opwthe general staff for O
long term. He hadn't missed a thing,
he reported gayly, when he got back.
But he added quickly: Don't point
me as a hero. / only did my little
bit-and / vas just one of more than
two millions Americans over there.
Each man did his share, that's why
we are the conquerors. l don't be-
lieve there is a better soldier in the
world than the American lad. The

and most organized expeditionary
force that ever fought on foreign

Secret Service is not a war play
In the strict sense of the word. There
are no pitched battles, NJ booming
of cannon and bursting of shrapnel.
The tremendous drama of the play Is
laid largely in the Varney home in
Richmond, at q time when the south
ern capital was besieged by federal
fovces.

 "Why not? she asked mildly.
 "Just look at 'em!'' he said, almost with bitterness, and he made a ges- ture presumably intended to indicate the business and professional men now dancing within range of vision. "That's a fine career for a man, isn't it! Lawyers, bankers, politicians What do they get out of life, I'd like to knoWl What do they ever know about real things? Where do they ever get?"
 He was so earnest that she was surprised and impressed. She had a vague, momentary vision of Pitt, at twenty-one, prime minister of Eng land; and she spoke, involuntarily in a lowered voice, with deference:
 What do you want to be?' she asked.
 George answered promptly.

Having thus, in word, revealed his ambition for a career above courts, marts and polling booths, George breathed more deeply than usual, and, turning his face from the lovely companion whom he had just made his confidant, gazed out at the dancers with an expression in which there was both sternness and a contempt for the squalid lives of the unyachted Midlanders before him. However, among them he marked his mother, and his somber grandeur re- faxed momentarily a more genial light came into his eyes.

You can see it in her eyes when she looks at him. My Lord! What does she see when she looks at him?"
 Morgan's odd expression of genial apprehension deepened whimsically. "She sees something that we don't see," he said.
 "What does she see?"
