H ow the Allies Won” A Stupendous Reproduct ion of the Great Struggle Now that peace has come, this mighty authentic super-drama of the world’s greatest war holds untold interest for every American.

Then see our beloved boys fighting on land, on the sea, in the air. See our destroyers in action—See our battleships—our patrol. See the doughboys marching up to victory at the Marne. See the whole titanic picture of the world conflict. All the result of a Madman’s Dream. ISIS THEATRE
