They did heroic service during the
British attack on the German sub

they bombarded the enemy batteries

more speedy, were able to cause

carried an assortment of machine

attacks from the air.

[ The question of "who is the star" in -"Thunderclap," the William Fox special which comes to the Breed theatre Sun day, Monday and Tuesday. is happily answered in the brief announcement: There are eleven artists in the cast us Thunderclap, each is a star.
 In addition to the assurance of one of the strongest casts ever assembled for the. making of a picture, there is added interest in the fact that Mir. Fox has spared neither time nor expense in mak-
 ing certain there should be no make believe or imitation in "Thunderclap.
 The result is an unbroken panorama of
 thrills, smiles and sighs-a smooth run ming story in which action speaks louder than captions and which commands un-
 divided interest and attention from the introduction of the first character until
 the completion of a surprising but none
 the Jess captivating climax.
 Thunderclap deals with the colorful ex-
 periences of a young girl fresh from a convent and who, to her horror, finds
 that her step-father is the proprietor of a gambling establishment. A thrilling horse race proves an important event in lthe life of the girl-whose devotion to an invalid mother is but an added charm to beautiful love story.
 Topics of the Day and an Educational lcomedy will make up the remainder of | the bill.

 We had high old time down to the opery house last night when an opery company sang .n Trovetory." Every body in our beautiful and progressive city was there and it was a representative audience of wealthy, culture and lof.y intelligence.
 There was an old gypsy woman who complained of not being able tO sleep and couldn't blame her much. cons1d- ering the bum rock she had to lie on. I'd had hard work getting to sleep on it myself. And that was sum anvil chor- us, the sparks was flying fin every direc- tion and made everyone sit up and take notis.
