Show . , "PERSHING'S CRUSADERS" For a year the United States Government Gov-ernment camera men have been busy registering the activities of our soldier sol-dier and sailor boys on thousands of feet of motion picture film., As a result, re-sult, the people of Milford will have the first chance on Sunday at the Utah Theatre, to see what has been done by our boys up to date .over here and oyer there. . .-- ."Pershing's Crusaders" is the title of ;this first official government feature fea-ture film of" the war, and, it really, constitutes a motion picture history of our first year at war. A successful effort has been made to picture the government's handling of the gigantic task of preparation for war. The recruiting of our army, the building of huge cantonments, the clothing and feeding of our troops, the making of arms to equip them, the building of enormous ship yards and the rapidity with whicli ships are being built and launched. You will see, our boys in training, fleets of aeroplanes in dizzying flight, our great floating fortresses on vigilant vigi-lant guard. . our swift destroyer searching the sea for the hated German Ger-man periscope. The greater part of the picture shows our boys maybe your boy in France. It follows them along the long road to the front. It shows the vast stores of munitions and supplies sup-plies flowing like rivers through the quaint , French villages up to the front line trenches. It depicts the first American field gun to throw a shell into the German trenches, the first American troops entering and occupying a first line trench, the first batch of German prisoners taken by our soldiers, the first baptism before a battle. , Secretary of War Baker is seen on his first tour of inspection In France, examining the great guns, the aeroplane squadrons and the American Am-erican boys who man them. General Pershing and staff accompanies him on his visits to the camps of our "Crusaders." It is a picture every mother, sislor or sweetheart of a soldier should see. It is better than a letter from the I boys over there for at the Utah Theatre The-atre you can see him actually at the grim business and the light-hearted play of war. "Pershing's Crusaders" is distributed distrib-uted by the First National - Exhibitors Exhibit-ors Circuit, Inc. -- |
