The scene was well aele 1. and the setting splendid, hut what spoilt the lot was the -little thing.' At the bottom left-hand corner oi the screen was the shadow of tin' camera man turning the handle of his machine."' H. P. (Wandsworth).

The town is regularly shelled by the Germans, winch would naturally deter many picture parr ins in England, hit not the British Tommy. Oh. no! He braves anything for a glimpse of 'Charlie.' I saw one of those caedboard cut-outs stuck up against a telo.raph-post, which ha been broken in half by a shell, ami tho field in which it -food was full of shellhole.-, but 'Charlie' had come through unscathed.
