In the opening scenes' Hudson Mnrim aMmsei a eatherinir on the necessity of preparedness, ointing out bow well prepared the belligerant nations in Europe were for the pres ient war and how , poorly equipped ithis country is in every . way. Suo I marines are shown in action and tor l pedoes are discharged at an imaginary foe. The boom of the cannon from the battleships and the disappearing uns on land, accompanied by approp riate sound from the orchestra are absolutely thrilling. . If some of the grcwsome scenei in the play appear a bit drawn out, they firmly impress upon the observer the bssic motive of the play. The drama is well staged and deftly acted. I Surprises in Photography. Photographically "The Battle Cry of Peace" contains some surprises. Through trick camera work a strug gling humanity is seen in the heart of New York fleeing to escape the bombs hurled from the shells of the enemy's battleships. AT SHERRY'S. BIG GUN BURSTS. "Soldiers' Oath" Brim Full of Great Feature Moments. William Fox's splendid sensation, "A Soldier's Oath" featuring Wil liam Farnum the $100,000 star, will be at Sherry's today last day. In realism, scenic effects . and strength of. appeal the film surpasses photo play of any kind, its friends say.

"BATTLE CRY OF PEACE" GRIP PING WAR LESSON. Pacifists who shout against increas ing the army and navy for national defense receive a body blow in "The Buttle Cry of Peace," the film spec tacle which will be shown at the Ar cade Monday and Tuesday. In vivid pictures qnd through sub-titles those who decry war preparedness are brought face to face with the disas ter thut mighty-ensuo should a power ful foreign nation invade our shores , in our present military state. No attempt has been, made by J. Stui.rt Bluckton, author of the play, to deal Vwith his subject with kid gloves. Blunt, unvarnished and grim facts wore set forth by Mr. Blackton. Shows Brutality of War. The author has deviated far from the beaten pafth in picture drama building. To drive home his message he shows war in all its brutality and grewsomeness, carrying his. theme into two peaceful homes which suf fer from the invasion of a foreign, army. An observer will not find the' happy ending prevalent in most pic ture productions. If he seeks the American soldiers to repel the invad ing forces at the end of the picture he is doomed to disappointment. The American soldiers do have their in ning with the enemy, but suffer a dis astrous defeat and bow to the enemy, accepting "peace at any price." At the end of two and a half hours of startling episodes picturing reali ties and fantasies by double photog raphy attended by an inspiring musi cul score and suitable "effects," spec tators wero heard to comment how woefully weak America is. Statistical I diagrams of population and wealth compare this country with other na tions of importance and show how ridiculously small is the army and navy Uncle Sam provides to safeguard his property. Thrills Patriotic Citizens. Every, patriotic American will be thrilled and inspired by this play, which distinctly is an American pro duction for American people, adapted by an American from Hudson Max im's book, "Defenseless America." Hyphenated Americans will find noth ing offensive in the picture, for the' enomy comes from a mythical coun try. The spy in the play, e distin guished looking ' foreigner who masquerades as a peace propagandist is called Emanon, which read back ward stands for "no name." , Drafts feel best when we are hot and perspiring, just when they sare most dangerous and the result is Neuraliga, Stiff Neck, Sore Muscles or sometimes an attack of Rheumat ism. In such cases apply Sloan's Liniment. It stimulates circulation to the sore and painful part. The blood flows freely and in a short time the stiffness and pain leaves. Those suffering from Neuralgia or Neural, gic Headache will find one or two applications of Sloan's Liniment will give grateful relief. The agonizing pain gives way to a tingling sensa tion of comfort and warmth and quiet rest and sleep is possible. Good for Neuritis too. Price 25c at your Druggist. RED PEPS' !
