Frank Coffinberry, old-time film man of the Northwest, arrived in Seattle last week as special representative of the Division of Films, Committee on Public Info' Uion. He will make his headquarter^ at the World Film Company's office, Fifth Avenue and University street. J. A. Koerpel, manager of the World Film exchange, fell three decks while engaged at his regular afternoon occupation of laborer in one of the big shipyards in Seattle. He was immediately taken to the yard hospital, where his wounds were dressed. His injuries are not serious. In Seven Cities Arrangements Made For Showings Of "Under Four Flags" Official showings of "Under Four Flags," the third U. S. Official War Picture, issued by the Division of Films, Committee on Public Information, are announced for seven cities outside of New York, where the latest Government war film will be made known at the Rialto and Rivoli during the week commencing November 17. All the official bookings are for a week. In Washington, "Under Four Flags" will be the initial attraction at Harry M. Crandall's new Metropolitan theatre, which opens its doors Saturday evening, November 23. The Metropolitan will be one of the handsomest cinema houses in the United States. Indianapolis will see the new picture at the Circle theatre during the week beginning November 24. The Walnut theatre, Cincinnati, will have the official showing during the week of December 1. Three cities will see "Under Four Flags" during the week of December 8. In Kansas City it will be shown at the Liberty theatre, a new house; in Dayton, O., it will be seen at the Strand 4:heatre, and in St. Louis at the Odeon. The latter is not a motion picture house, but the success of "Pershing's Crusaders" and "America's Answer" at this popular hall, as well as its great seating capacity, has made its use desirable. St. Louis exhibitors also favor the Odeon on account of the exploitation the picture will receive before being released for the regular picture houses, and are co-operating to make the engagement a success. The official showing in Philadelphia will be at the Stanley which has booked the picture for the week of December 16. Sbrc>odG)/ Forget about the hard times and prepare to meet prosperity.
