Blanche Gunter's face turned
white and fire flashed from her
blue eyes. Without another word
she left the room.
Alfred started to follow and
apologize, but he decided to wait
until time had somewhat cooled
their anger. So he waited until
his days work was done. Then
hurried home to make peace with
Blanche.
But Blanche was gone On the
dressing table he found a note
saying.

Her trunk was gone. All her
personal belongings had disap.

was gl1astiy.
Miss Cain, the head nurse in
the hospital, was the only woman
he knew who had ever been taken
into Blanche's confidence. So,
after days of suspence, Alfred
called on Miss Cain and asked II
she knew Mrs. Gunter's address.

WHEN Gen. Charles P. SummeralI
w was In Hollywood ATTENDING the
reunion of the 1st Division, he little
dreamed that he was to be taken back
to France and to scenes that were in
delibly scared on his memory.
During the generals trip through the
motion picture studios, his first stop
was as the guest of the Tec-Art studios
of John Boyce-Smith, vice president of
Inspiration Pictures. In fact, Gen,
Sunmerall had been advised of a ei-
gantic French village that had been
erected at this studio and he had ex-
pressed desire to see it. It is said he
was more than amazed at the set
which had been built for "She Goes to
Warl" Its authentic appearance to
his trained eye was as near perfection
as 1t was humanity possible to make 1t.
Mr.. Boyce-Smith informed Gen. Sum-
merall that Inspiration was at that
time in communication with the war
Department at Washington relative to
filming some huge engines of war in
action in the East for the battle Sc
quences. The studio officials believe
that the generals impression of the
! story, which had been passed by the
War Department, and of the manner
| in which he saw the production being
| filmed by Henry King was indirectly
responsible for the telegram received
| following his visit, In which full per-
mission was granted by the War De-
| partment to use the equipment in the
production.
| Fort Leonard Wood, Md, will be the
site used for filming this portion of the
story.
"She Goes to War!" 1t is claimed.
