Real War Films for the Liberty REAL war pictures are coming to the Liberty theater on June 4 for an engagement of one week. 4 ' The Fighting French" films bear the stamp of genuineness. They were taken under un-der the direction of th.e French government govern-ment and are being shown in the United States under a grant from President Pres-ident Poincare. During the past fourteen months there have been various snatches of the operations of tho armies in Europe, "but nothing of the actual fighting itself. This is explained by the fact that at no time were cameramen of the various film companies allowed1 anywhere uear the scenes of the world's; greatest drama. But with these pictures pic-tures it is different. The turning of the camera crank was as much the duty of the soldier in charge of the machine as was the operation of the near-by machine guns. During tho taking of the pictures sis cameramen were killed outright and three cameras were smashed to splinters by flying fragments of shells. By" a fortunate coincidence these film's include ci number of scenes ta ; ken of one of the battles for the pos- session of Verdun. The terrific fight ing on one of the hillsides, the hand-to-hand combats of the soldiers and i tho work of the artillery are shown in tn fullest detail. ! All of the things which have for months formed a part of tho daily grist of .European war news are shown somewhere in the pictures. One sees airmen Hcwntin over the German lines, the pietures-bemg taken from the aeroplane. aero-plane. One sefi what is going on both at tho advanced posts ami behind tho : trenches, where the ambulance and I commissary departments are busy. Clouds of poisonous gas, rolling forward toward the French under a favorable wind favorable to the Germans are shown, something new in photography. A lino of men with machino guns in an advanced position are seen with bombs bursting about them. Throughout Through-out is seen the work of men fighting, not drilling. "Tho Fighting French" will bo the first of the scries of big productions which are to be shown at the Liberty theater in connection with a full or , chestra and special effects for the projection pro-jection of the pictures after the manner man-ner of the hi invest houses in the coun- try. .

Peggy Hyland Is Paramount's Star tf ISS PEGGY HYLAND, the beauti-J?l beauti-J?l ful and talented little English actress, act-ress, whose recent arrival in America to 1 appoar exclusively ou the screen under the management of the Famous Players Film company has created considerable comment, makes her debut to the American Ameri-can public in a thrilling picturization of lienry Arthur Jones "a noted dramatic : success, "Saints and Sinners." This j current release on the Paramount programme pro-gramme will be shown at the Paramount-Empress todav and tomorrow. It is a matter of odd interest that Miss Uv'and, who has distinuuished herself her-self abroad in the stellar roles of many Jtage successes, should appear in her first American screen offering in an Knglishman 's ploy, aud a drama, moreover, more-over, that won its first success in Eu- (Co-Hnrted on Tnn-H-" t- Features of the Films (Continued From.

Miss Hylaud, in the leading role of Letty Fletcher, the only daughter of the minister of Steepleford, went with a selected cast of Famous Players, headed head-ed by Director .James Kirkwood, to the most' beautiful scctioiis of Florida for the purpose of filming this superb drama. For Memorial day and Wednesday, Lou-Tellegen, who scored so heavily here as leading man for Sarah Bernhardt on tho occasion of her last visit to Salt Lake, and who recently married Ger-aldine Ger-aldine Farrar, will star in "The Unknown, Un-known, ' ' supported by Theodore Roberts Rob-erts and a strong company of Lasky p!a vers. For the last half of the week the favorite fa-vorite Lasky star, Blanche Sweet, will bo featured in the latest screen offering. offer-ing. "The Thousand Dollar Husband." In addition there will be the regular up-to-date single reel subjects, two with each chango of hill, and Paramount Para-mount pictogranhs. Burton Holmes travel pictures.

VEALET of the Orpheum has obtained by bidding $1500 the biggest comedy ever produced pro-duced "Charlie Chaplin's Burlesque on Carmen. ' ' This film in four parts will open at the Orpheum for a week etarting Wednesday, May 31. The play, according to those who have seen the exhibition run, is a riot, and is designed to become a classic of screen humor. Chaplin duplicates a scene from the opera at one moment and in the next pulls off a roaring burlesque. The story closely follows that of tho opera, with the costumes and settings very nea rly the same as in the opera itself. Those who have witnessed the original or seen Theda Bara, or Ger-aldine Ger-aldine Farrar, in the Carmen of tho films, or have read the book of Car-, Car-, men, will readily appreciate how funny Charlie Chaplin cau be in the role of the young Spanish lieutenant, Don Jose (called Darn Hosiery in the bur- lesque). This four-act film is claimed to be the greatest ever made by the famous comedian. Scene after scene of classics in burlesque closely follow one another or snatches from the operas. Chaplin is ably assisted by Ben Tur-pin, Tur-pin, Edna Purvianco, John Rand, Leo White, Jack Henderson, May White and Wesley Buggies. Each of these great stars of filmdom is in the burlesque in more scenes than one. Many of them play parts that nearly rival that of Chaplin, and as they are all working at once, like the three rings of a circus, it can be easily understood how many laughs to the minute there will be Tnis film has not been released long it has never been showed here. But on the few occasions that it has been seen in the east or on the coast it has been a record breaker. People have stood in line for-hours in order that they would not be turned away and no theater has been found largo enough to hold all who wanted to get in. For its local Orpheum engagement Edward Short and his Orpheum orchestra or-chestra have been held over from the vaudeville season to furnish the especially espe-cially arranged picture music, which closely follows in detail all the moves of the comedy film. Besides the "Chaplin feature there will be three other reels of pictures. - 1 , |
