The picture, which open- ( si Wednesday, will be shown through ; Saturday. “As the reel unfolds it paints with strik ng realism the grim and terible story' if the world war. There is enough of •omedy woven into the picturizatkin to ’ •elieve the horor and tragedy of the bat-1 lefields. "By using official pictures made by j nembers of the U. 8. Army Signal Corps IU the battlefields of France the reel taints a graphic story of the life of the Vmericau soldiers overseas. Many of the rictures were made during actual bat les. "Powder River." shows the business of •var in all of its varied activities. It p ; c- 1 ures tragedy on the battlefields and it ihows the soldier at rest or engaging in iport behind the lines. It shows the U xiats and the transports at sea. the roeps landing and eu route to the front. Vothing could be more realistic. "Pow ler River" Is a cross-section of the great war caught by the camera's eye and re eased to show what war is like.” *B4 ARRESTS IN THIS CITY DURING YEAR During Last Six Months of 1024 Police Collected $2,672.75 in Fines, Records Shaw.
