Manager Finney of the Playhouse,

urday nights, December 81, January
| 1 and 2 and New Years Day and
Saturday afternoon of "The Big Pa
rade," King Victor's perturbation of
Laurence Stallings' story that took
New York by storm. The picture is
being shown in a few of the cities
! only and its own orchestra of twen-
ty and stage crew are carried on
tour. The scene starts in America
where Jim the hero enlists for the
front in 1917-1918. He and his bud
dies go to France where they are
billeted in the haymow of a farm
house. Jim falls in love with Melis-
ande the farm girl, and his affection
is reciprOcated. At the departure for
the front they pledge their VOWS and
in default of any other souvenir Jim
throws her one of his shoes which
she presses to her bosom. With his
buddies, Bull and Slim, Jim goes
through Belleau Wood, the campaign
of the ArgOnne and many expert
ences in the trenches and shell holes
finally crawling out into No Mans
Land and finding one of his buddies
slain. He then defies the whole Ger
man army and attacks single-hand-
ed a machine gun nest which he cap
lures, but is subsequently wounded
and sent to "blighty." On learning
that the village of ChampillOn where
he was billeted has been the scene |
of warfare, he manages to escape
from the hospital but finds Melis
ande and her kinsfolk gone. So ma
turally he returns to America. He |
is now crippled, having lost his leg |
in the war. There is a ray of sun
shine for his sOrrOwing mother who |
sees his loss and also knows that his
American sweetheart has gone back |
on him, when Jim says: Mother,
there is a girl in France" Some
what later Jim returns over the hill
back of Champillon and finds the
girl and her mother as plow-women
in the field Long before he sees
her, she sees him, and goes to him.
