AMIDST CURTAINS OF FIRE
French Children Prayed, Danced and
Sang - the Big Guns Reared
Continually.

We came at night upon little viii
lage Of Picardy and were quartered
in big room of the school, r. II. S
writes in the Manchester England)
Guardian. The night was warm and
the sky spread like some fabric OF
deep violet spangled with glittering
silver. The windows shook and the
doors ratified and our heads were
throbbing with the endless thudding
Of the gums. Was ever such bonn
bardment? With friend climbed
the church tower. An owl beat out
suddenly, throwing a cloud Of dust
from the ancient walls. Then the
very earth seeming to sway and
heave, the bell struck. We held on
desperately. Midnight. We reached
the top and looked eastward. The
fringes Of the night seemed on fire
dancing, shooting, tagging flames,
spurts Of fire, curtains of fire.
The next day, in . hellish cres-
cendo, the din went on. and through
it all we heard the school children
begin the day with AYES. and we
watched them, in "St. Pierre nous q
dome les clefs du Paradis." All
through the night the bombardment
continued. 1t stopped suddenly
early the next morning when the
troops went over the top for the first
battle of the Somme.

 This spectacular film, which is un- occasionally one of the greatest and latest offered the Phoenix public, has been booked by the Columbia manage ment as an added attraction to the reg ular -photoplay program. There will be no extra admission charge, however.

For, be it known, Madam frlmini x O.. worlds greatest men talists, will be at the Columbia theater O nthese two days as one of the big eight-unit program. This act is re- garded as one Of the strangest ana most mysterious novelty acts on the American stage, yet always productive of the heartiest laughter.
 If there is any problem or question that one would have solved or an swered, just ask Madam Frimini. She'll give you the correct information
 The other three acts on the vaude- vile program include Glenny and Ford in an acrobatic speciality; Airline and Rosiata, violinist and singer; and Toe Kingsley, blackface comedian and mon Ologist.
