"THE BATTLE" T0X1GHT.
Arcade 'Will Present Attraction Dc
. ; plcting Stirring War Scenes.
'- "The Battle". Is the. title of a film
to be shown at the Arcade tonight and
tomorrow night.
The hero Is unconventional enough to
be frightened out of his wits when he,
A raw recruit, hears (the roar ot cannon
and sees his comrades falling by his
Side, He takes to his heels, as many a
brave Boldior has done before him at
the first sight of the bloody horrors of
war. Possessed with an Insane fear, he
runs to the home of his sweetheart,
sear which the battle Is being fought.
The .girl first moved to laughter at the
altered aspect ot her gallant soldier of
a few (hours before at last feels that
unquenchable loth In ir and hate for a
coward which la planted in the breast
of all true men and women, and orders
the man whom she had once promised
to marry, out of tine house.. In the con
fusion after the first ruBh of battle, the
vouni? soldier repnlns control of his
nerves and rejoins bis comrades with
out having been mlssdd from the ranks.
The conflict gets hotter and hotter as
the. fight is resumed. Both sides are en
treanched and light wlth:desperatlon.
Finally the Northern army runs out of
ammunition.' In this perilous situation
the young soldier who before had run
away, but now Is most eager to make
amends, volunteers to go through the
lines of the enemy and bring up rein
forcements and more ammunition.
. General Grant has no men to spare
but .fits out a wagon with ammunition
and provides a scant escort. ThiB man
euver has not escaped the confederates
and they set fire to the timber through
which the wagon has to pass, returning
with; the powder. The soldiers of the
escort are 'killed one by one and the
driver la finally overcome by the heat
ot the burning timber and falls from
Ibis seat. At this the young soldier
proves what he really Is. He jumps to
the drivers seat, graaps the reins and
rushes the wagon loaded with powder
through the flaming timber and reaches
ihls comrades In the Northern lines.
The boy Ir a hero, rnrntvna fho tkonio
of his commander, the love of his sweet
'ueun aim ne gratitude of the army. It
is a beautiful story well told and well
acted. : ' : :. v-'-.
