Motion Picture of the Canadians at | the Grand, Dec. 11th. i No finer pictorial record of Can- | ade's part played on the battlefields | of France and Flanders during the World War exists than that to be shown at the Grand, om December | 11th, matinee and night. The mo- tion picture Canadians "In Action" | has just been released through the British government, and is shown in the Dominion for the first time. | Every foot of it abounds with real war thrills and gives a vivid illu- stration of just what war is. The picture "In Action" is a true | war picture énd opens in the days of early 1914-15 before tin hats and proper sanitation had made war horrors less unbearable. From the Ypres sector the audience is taken | on to the somme, Lens, Cambria and | La Basse and through the great final | offensive where the Canadians wen | world renown when they broke through the famous Hindenburg line One sees Billy Bishop, the ace of all avistayy) "In Action," Canadian in- fantry' going "over the top" in real warfare. The Princess Pats In France on their first trip in the line, artillery bombarding the famous pattlefronts and every other phase of modern war and the paris Canada | played in it. ! Only a moving picture can give so graphic a description of war and this one taken for a British govern- ment record shows men up to their waists in mud; men actually shot down going over the top; stretcher bearers at their work of mercy un- der shell fire; first ald being render- ed on the battlefields; Canadians entering burning Cambria evacuat- ed by the Germans, Canadian avia- tors "In Action" over the German lines; Canadian labor battalions, | Canadian railway troops and Cana- dian engineers at work and to-day, six years after the war the picture already seems incredible. Yet it stands ds an actual record of just how big the part was that Canada played in the world war. "In Action" an actual record of just what war {s has been endorsed by the clergy and leading education- alists. Field Marshall Halg, the Prince of Wales, His Excellency Lord Byng, Governor General of Canada are all seen in this picture doing their bit. To miss this picture that is abso- lutely Canadian and a true authen- tic war picture made during the war and not in a Hollywood studio is to miss the most sensational picture of all time as it is a picture not to be missed, both for the undying record of Canadian valor and for its great history. » Ottawa critics writing of "In Ac- tion" said "large audiences with every rank from private to generals and leading statesmen of the Do- minion watehed in solence and close attention through the showing of 'In Action' save for times when the audience rose to their feet and cheered, the theatre was So silent that the proverbian pin could not have dropped without being heard. No Canadian should miss it." -- STIRRING MELODRAMA OF THE KA 18 "THE FIRE PATROL" the most dramatic ineid- ents in 'The Fire Patrol" the sen- gational melodrama which will be shown at the Capitol to-day, Friday and Saturday, occurs when a blind, old sea captain is led by his enemy to a cliff and left alone and hélpless there. With his arms outstretched, tumbling clumsily with his cane, he walks slowly towards the steep pre- cipice that will mean his unknow- ing death--on and on--until his foot steps jfeavily into---epace. There is a tension in this scene that has never beeen surpassed on the screen. Usually suspense is on the side of the audience only, with the characters knowing their action be- fore hand. In the case, it ip on the side of both character and audience, which naturally doubles its inten- sity. The entire production has a background of storm and lightning which has never before beén pre- sented so extensively on the screen. Thousands of dollars were expended in getting these effects, and the're- sult is more perfect than realism, just as a painting is more perfect than the A it Furthermore 'The Fire is an allstar special which is you know what that means. Its cast Includes Bellamy, Anna Q. Nilsson, Helen Jerome ®ady, Johnny Harron, Spottis- woode Aitken and Jack Richardson; and for comedy relief, of which pléaty, Charlie Murray, Gale Henry, Heinle Conklin, Billy Franey, Hank Mgon and 'Bull Mon- | 0 | de Silva, Kathleen Key Mme. physical action, although they do not overshadow the gorgeousustss of the early English scenes and the gerian sequences. More than $865,- 000 in costumes were designed and | executed for the members of "The Sea Hawk" cast that the details of early fashion might not be neglect- ed. Milton Sills heads the exceptien- al east in Mr. Lloyd's big spectacle, playing the dual character of Bir Oliver Tressilian ahd Sakr-el-Bahr. Enid Bennett has been given the| principal feminine role, with Lloyd Hughes, Marc MacDermott, lace Beery, Frank Currier, Wallace MacDonald, Hector V. Sarno, Fred Me- dea Radzina Christine Montt, Lionel Belmore, Robert Bolder.and others of note lending support. The Capitol Theatre will presemt "Phe Sea Hawk," with an elaborate musical setting.
