Regulars and the boys of University of Washington's R. O. T. C. discovered a fine sport for a bright afternoon at Camp Lewis. Washington, while making war scenes for First National's "The Patent Leather Kid." coming to day to the Elsinore theater, fol lowing its sensational run In Port land. Ton run across a field planted with mines, which explode all around you. If dose enough to one of these explosive shells to be thrown off your -feet, you try to lay perfectly still while a huge tank rolls by, perhaps brushing the sleeve of your coat. When yon consider that the field. Is thick with smoke and that the tank driver cannot see where he is going. It becomes a thrill ing sport. This was the experience, how- over, of the men engaged in mak ing battle scenes for "The Patent Leather Kid." The picture stars Richard Barthelmess. -'-"Although the scenes were made time and again, not a single man was seriously injured. Minor cas ualties were caused by flying stones and powder burns. One youth who lay directly over a mine when it exploded suffered a few burns on hhi back, but he stuck it out until his scene ended. The result has been some of the most realistic and remarkable war scenes ever made. JEW IK FOLLIES GIRLS LVEF1E GOOD The Follies Girls from feiegfeld's in New York came to the Elsinore this week. The idea that is intend ed here is that 4ne, you remember. having to do rith. Caesar when he crosses the Rubicon. "I came," Caesar said, "I saw what was to be done, and I conquered ay in clination to go and play -golf." Which Is enough about Caesar. The girls have a colorful act, in deed, and seem to be well aware of the fact. They are pretty and Tvang, and artists to their finger Uips and furnish an entertainment well out of the -ordinary. The pic- tare with the beauties was also s good selection. Called 'The Pat sy It proved one of the best com edies of the year- a regular laugh production. Starting today "The Patent Leather Kid" will be the feature this week at the Elsinore. This is one of the big pictures released since the first of the year and has taken like wildfire where it has been shown to date. It has just finished a run in Portland and comes highly recommended by the critics of that city. It's a 12-reeler a big show with comedy, lore, intense drama, prize fights and war. The Elsinore management has seen a pre-view of the picture and unnesitatingly pronounced it a masterpiece.
