"ORIGINAL ITALIAN TURKISH WAR PICTURES" ' — Nov. 6.
No one seems to assume responsibility for this film, but there is little dan ger that any one will believe it depicts any scenes of the present conflict. The film starts off with views of Rome, giving the usual scenes of the ancient part of the city; then follows a view of the Sultan's troops at Constantinople, with Turkish soldiers arriving in Tripoli, as this next scene is labelled; next we see a large body of Arab troops "preparing for war," with a subsequent view of supposed Turkish troops "preparing to flee from Tripoli," each of the latter being merely scenes of some military review in which Turkish and Arabian soldiers participated. The next view is one of the most amusing, for it is supposed to show the Turkish troops in actual flight from Tripoli and is, in reality, nothing but another portion of the same maneuvers wherein a light battery unlimbers on the run and goes through a regular fast artillery drill, which, by stretch of the imagination, could be misconstrued into a scene of retreat. The last is the biggest fake of all, and is enough to condemn the entire subject. It is subtitled, "Town Ruined and Deserted." And we are shown views of ruins of some ancient city! The Sales Company claim no knowledge of the film or responsibility for its showing, t.iough it was seen in an Independent house on Fourteenth street. It is, we are told, being offered for private leasing, direct through its owners, to the Independent exhibitors. Reprinted from M. Tel. .Sunday, Nov. 12.

"GENUINE TRIPOLI WAR FILMS" Cines — Nov. 15,
The first American release made by the Cines Company of Rome and Padua^ Italy, is presented in a film no one can afford to miss, not alone because of its undoubted historical value, but because of the intensely interesting views it presents. It begins with a view of the harbor of Tripoli and shows the steamship Derna and the first newspaper reporters landing in the besieged city. Then is shown the Hanudee fort after it had been shelled by the Italian fleet, with Italian guards mounting its captured works. Then Admiral Travelle is shown reviewing the Italian troops, who have been landed, while the first Italian governor enters the city and the first ofiicial Italian flag is hoisted over the town. Other Turkish fortifications are shown, with another review of Italian troops by the commanding generals and naval officers, sailors being included in the landing forces. The film closes with a near view of officers receiving news from the front, and signal men wig-wagging to the fleet in the bay. Secure the film. It is a special release, and will be well worth showing.
