Loew's Columbia-H'The Common

There is nothing left undone to
make The Common Cause" a most
entertaining and delightful story Incl
dent to the war. and when the doors
at Loew's Columbia Theater open to-
morrow the screen will reflect a pic
ture that promises to become noted
on the pages of film history as land
mark in wartime screen drama.
Speaking OF The Common Cause -
which was privately shown to more
than 400 army officers of the General
Staff and the War College several
days ago, Manager Klein said: These
officers were unanimous in their opin-
ion that the story is based upon sit
uations that are strictly true to life
and nothing impossible has been de-
picted." They marveled at the clever
handling of the war scenes, which
omitted the usual horrors that have
characterized war pictures. THE Com
mon Cause" is not a war picture, but
a war story. and love and honor. as
well as wholesome comedy aplenty.
are used as the basis of the play.
The drama has a prologue and cpl
logue. in which appear some Of the
most famous women OF the stage. rep
resenting Belgium, France, Italy. Co.
lumbia and Britannia. The story starts
in New York society and finds a hus-
band and wife at the very brink of
divorce proceedings. The things that
happen between the American declara-
tion of a state of war and the time
when a happy reunion on the battle
fields of France is effected between
the estranged couple forms love
story of deepest interest.
