E33*TB3tff= -— X H I B O R H R D Mutual to Distribute Special Feature for Chicago Daily News Tobacco Fund A fifteen-hundred-foot special motion picture of "Our Boys at Camp Grant" has been made by the Chicago Daily News to be circulated among the Chicago theatres for the benefit of the newspaper's Tobacco Fund, a fund to supply smokes to the soldiers in France. A. CHESTER KEEL, WHO SPONSORED THE FILM "OUR BOYS AT CAMP GRANT" TO AID THE TOBACCO FUND OF THE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS, DISTRIBUTED BY MUTUAL. The picture will be published November 19 through the Chicago exchange of the Mutual Film Corporation, which is rendering free service in the handling of the film as a contribution to the patriotic fund. All of the proceeds go to the fund. The picture was made under the supervision of A. Chester Keel, of the promotion department of the Chicago Daily News. It shows the various incidents and phases of life in the training trenches of Camp Grant, picturing thousands of the drafted men from Chicago and vicinity. War Scenes Furnish Chief Topic of Universal' s Weekly for Nov. 9 Pictorial records of recent events in the great war are the outstanding feature of Universal Animated Weekly published November 7. Views are shown of the Archbishop of Rheims blessing the graves of war heroes at Gueux; the presentation by the municipality of St. Afrique of a sword to Gen. Castelnau, hero of the Marne; the Prince of Connaught reviewing the French army on the Aisne front and bestowing military decorations at Noyon, and the heavy artillery of Servia's gallant little army hammering Bulgarian trenches. A series of views show enlisted cooks of Uncle Sam's navy learning French frills in the preparation of meats. Other topics are: King George bestowing Victoria Crosses on eight war heroes at Buckingham palace; Cincinnati police in military review at the annual inspection; unveiling of the La Fayette memorial tablet at Norfolk, Va.; long-distance tire efficiency test, Akron, O., to New York; and the unfurling of Universal's service flag containing 270 stars, with President Carle Laemmle at the halyards. Hy Mayer's cartoons complete the reel. Montagu Love in World War Story The invasion of Belgium by the German hordes at the beginning of the war plays a very important part in the new World-Picture Brady-Made of which Montagu Love is the star. The play has not been named as yet, but sufficient information is available to indicate that the present production is quite the largest yet undertaken by Mr. Brady and his associates. A figure of eminence in the Roman Catholic Church is impersonated by Mr. Love. Goldwyn Announces Forthcoming Plays for Madge Kennedy and Mae Marsh Madge Kennedy is to be the means of introducing another artist to the screen. Miss Kennedy's next picture will be based on "Oh, Mary, Be Careful," the novel by George Weston, a writer whose stories have never yet been put into scenario form. It was while Miss Kennedy was finishing the last weeks' work on "Nearly Married" that she learned the title and the authorship of her next picture. She has chosen all her costumes for "Oh, Mary, Be Careful;" the first settings have been erected at the Goldwyn Studio and work has already begun on a few of the episodes. Mae Marsh is completing the final scenes of "The Cinderella Man," a Goldwyn production drawn from the stage success of Edward Childs Carpenter and the young star will begin immediate preparations for her next screen vehicle. Her new picture will be "The Beloved Traitor," a photoplay from the novel by Frank Packard. Since Director George Loane Tucker is giving all his time to the cutting and editing of "The Cinderella Man," a director new to Goldwyn, William Worthington, will take charge of the next Marsh picture. E. A. Thurston will be assistant director and George Hill is cameraman. A Letter From a Soldier in France Tops Gaumont — Mutual News Weekly An interesting letter from an American soldier boy in France to his mother, illustrated by a dozen beautiful pictures, is a subject in No. 150 of the Gaumont-Mutual Weekly, which was issued Sunday, November 12. This illustrated letter will do considerable to show the actual life of our boys who are training in France. One of the very few motion pictures which have been made of the Rev. "Billy" Sunday shows the famous evangelist starting his $30,000,000 drive for the Army Y. M. C. A. "Billy" says he is going to France to preach to the boys in the trenches. New Navy Yard Shown Among the other war subjects in this issue of the Mutual Weekly are the dedication of the "Liberty" shipyard, at Squantum, Mass., which cost $28,000,000; coming from Hawaii, an infantry regiment pauses at San Francisco for its first stop on the way to Germany; at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, the trial of the sixty-three negro soldiers of the 24th Infantry begins. Inspection of Sailors The Secretary of the Navy reviews marines in training at Quantico, Virginia; in Chicago, girls have written the soldier boys a letter 473 feet long; Dr. Wm. J. Manning invents an army stretcher which can be used in the trenches, being ad' justable to sharp turns. Among other subjects shown are thousands of turkeys in the Imperial Valley, California, which are being fattened for Thanksgiving and Christmas; the winning of the inaugural handicap at the racing track at Del Monte, California; and the Seventeenth Annual Chrysanthemum Show, at Washington, D. C. Mi ■r. 3i | ! li h to I "The Marionettes" Title Now Clear, Is Begun by Clara Kimball Young Clara Kimball Young has begun work on "The Marion ettes," which was to have been her first picture under her own management, but due to a misunderstanding with Charles Frohman estate interests who claimed that they owned and controlled the American rights to the play, it was necessary to supersede it with "Magda" and "Shirley Kaye." The question of screen rights to the play has now been fully established and settled with the French Authors' Association, and Miss Young will produce "The Marionettes" as her third offering. The supporting cast will include Nigel Barrie, Alexander Francis and Corliss Giles, who appeared with Miss Young in "Shirley Kaye," which marked Mr. Giles' first appearance on the screen. With Miss Young in the picture will also appear her father and mother. Emile Chautard has been engaged to direct "The Marionettes." 30
