TELLS OF BATTLE IN FRANCE. - He Was Wounded Ale He Had aken Charge o is Companys He Suffered Intense Pain on the Stretcher, But Is Improving Now. The following letter wasesreceived by Mrs. George Granger, Vine strevt, from her husband, Lieut. George Granger, a prominent Salvation Army worker here, who was wounded while in action with the 21st Battalion: "lI have received a very nasty wound in my side, and after the oper- ation the doctors tell me that I had a good clean cut on the outside. But they say it must have spread, for they found eleven small holes in my sto- mach and intestines, So you can imagine | am in a pretty bad shape. {Continued rrom Page 3.) -- At the Grand. For the first two days of this week only the Grand will offer a picture that will be sure to win instant ad- miration. Talented Nell Shipman, thé beautiful star who made such a hit in "Cavanaugh of the Forest Rangers," will have the stellar role In "The Wild Strain," which is a pic- ture with a punch. Everyone will remember the work done by her in former films, but this one has them all beaten for its absorbing enter- tainment value. Supporting Miss Shipman are all the old Vitagraph favorites such as Alfred Whitman, Otto Lederer, Laura Winston, R. I have to lie on my back very quietly and am not allowed anything except water, jelly and tea. Have been on this diet for five days, and to-morrow I expect some bread The doctors and nurses say I am a marvel of the age to stand what I have and got show any effects My temperature has never gone above 101. 1 tell them that is what a clean life does for a fellow, and I have barrels of vitality left yet. 1 am at the first clearing station and as soon as I am fit | shall be moved to England. But owing to the nature of my wounds I have to be very quiet until all the small holes are *helaed up "Now I will try and give you a lit- tle account of the battle We start- ed our adkance out bver "no man's land" on Aug. 26th, at 3 am., and at six we had our objective, a distance of about three miles. We met with very little opposition at the begin- ning, but in holding the position we had quite' a few casualties. Our company commander was wounded, and I was put in charge. The next day at 11 a.m. we went over the top agaip, and reached our objective after very heavy fighting We lost a few men, but we certainly accounted for a good number of Huns. We then pulled ourselves together again and reorganized and went over the top again the next day at 12 noon, and I was only out about an hour when I got my knockout, and I tumbled into a shell hole and lay there for two and a half hours until a stretcher bearer came to me. My batman was a won- derful fellow. He stuck right by Bradbury and many other such screen artists. "The Wild Strain" | tells the story of a young girl whol has many adventures after leaving y home because family honor was too much for her. There will also be the Pathe News, one of those screaming- ly funny big "V" comedies and two thousand feet of other exceptionally good film. For the vaudeville, the Freemans', will present their wire novelty act that is a dandy. Don't forget that 'this bill will be shown for two days only, as "Eyes of Youth" ; will- be the attraction on Wednesday. -- At the Strand. All adventures are successful to the adventurous, but this "Successful Ad- venture" is especially successful, for at the end of it, like heart's ease after pain, is dear little Sweet little Virginia Houston, .a southern beaitty, played by another southern beauty, May Al- lison. The title of the "Successful | Adventure" doesn't give half an ink- ling of the charm and excitement of this brilliant comedy-drama. As Virginia Houston, Miss Allison under- takes to heal an old family feud. This she does by masquerading as a ser: vant in the household of her own un- cle. There she meets mystery, love and danger. There is something about "A Successful Adventure" and the star as Virginia--that steals into the heart and stays there. Laughter, tears and thrills are all present in this five-act photoplay. . A celebrated cast interprets this attractive feature, which contrasts northern and southern loca- tions, and a masked ball at a fashion- me, and did all in his power to get me assistance. ful, as there was a Fritz sniping at us all the time, but he must have been a We had to be very care-; able country club is among the inter- esting scenes.

Bennett production. In "Fhe Key to Right. eousness" Miss Bennett is given an opportunity for brilliant work, and to say she makes the most of this oppor- tunity, and the, result is a production that will compare faporably with any seen at this t catre ais season.
