The heroic sacrifice by which two
American Red Cross officers gave

which was claiming 600 victims per

An idea OF the stupendous work Of

WHEN BEARCAT WENT
 DRY" LANC'S THEATRE

Do you know what Battle Royal is? There is one in "When Bearcat Went Dry'. It is a contest between a group of men in which brawn, muscle and quick thinking wins the fight. The survivor of this struggle is hailed the winner. Scores of men are en- gagged in this fight, in this feature and it is no Sunday School picnic either.
 Here is a Battle Royal that will make your blood boil and you will feel like taking part in the fight yourself. This is perturbation of Charles Neville Bucks famous novel of the Cumberland mountains, with it's fueds, fights, moonshiners, love and romance following so closely to each other that your eyes will be riveted upon the screen to the end.
