Los Angeles — Talk about your war work. The Salvation Army has put one over. Here it is ! On the Lasky lot some scenes were being taken that savored of a war atmosphere. In order to secure authentic details and so on, some real Salvation Army folks were used, sprinkled in and out among the trenches carrying on their duties as they would on the field of battle. Some very interesting scenes were shot. But there came a lull in the proceedings, while the director was looking over his script and the stagehands were preparing a set. And instead of loitering about the stage or grounds, the members of the Salvation Army put in the time holding a real meeting, with the players of the company in respectful attendance. After the usual exercises, the members of the army sold copies of the "War Cry," their official organ, and reaped a harvest of nickels and dimes.
