Why the superb ParamountArtcraft Special Picture
“PRIVATE PEAT” [
Should Be a GREAT ATTRACTION tor Exhibitors
"Private Peat” is one of the few truly great contributions to the literature of the present war.
In hook form, published by Bobbs-Merrill Company, "Private Peaf^ exceeded the sales of any other war hook on the market. It was the BEST seller.
Private Harold R. Peat, the celebrated Canadian soldier-author HIMSELF enacts the leadinp role in this Paramount-Artcraft Special picture.
Twenty-five thousand soldiers, the first Draft Army from the New England states, play important parts in this picture.
All the Camp life pictures were taken at Camp Devens, at Ayer,
Mass., with the sanction of the government.
Whole villages were constructed and destroyed in a war-like manner for the production of this photoplay.
This big war feature was made under the personal supervision and directions of Edward Jose, who has done the best pictures in which Pauline Frederick and Mme. Cavalieri starred, and who also directed the Caruso pictures.
The picturization of "Private Peat,” while holding closely to the text of the published story, will have an American setting throughout.
The opening scenes of the story are laid in a New England village rather than in Canada; the troops shown in training were photographed at an American cantonment instead of at Valcartier, whence "Private Peat” sailed for Europe, and the soldiers pictured in action on the Western Front are Yankees instead of "Johnny Canucks.”
