The new liberty Theaters, where i Uncle Sam's soldiers will be enterr- j tamed while they are in camp train ing for the trenches in France are i opening in the cantonments and na- ;tional guard camps. The soldiers are ! seeing real - shows, same as if they jwere on Broadway. At Camp Custer, Michigan, the 'Liberty Theater opened with a con jcert given by the combined bands of ;the entire division, under the direc tion of Bohumir Kryl. Each National Army Cantonment now has a theater building, 120 by 179 feet, seating 3,000 men. As yet. yao9t.gf.the national guard eanips are using the large Chautauqua tents, seating 2,000. Theaters will be built in these camps in the spring. Camp commanders say the Liberty Theaters and Tents are doing, more than anything else to keep the sol diers in camp and in good spirits. The advantages pointed out are that through these' entertainments, sol diers remain in camp and save their money, instead of spending it in the adjacent cities and towns and that they save in railroad transportation and in hours of sleep. Smileage book coupons will be good at all the entertainments in the theaters and tent 3. Special com panies, will play the best comedv successes, under an arrangement with Marc Klaw. At the Military, Entertainment Council, in Washing ton, it is reported that the recent order of the Fuel Administration, closing the printing shops, had caused a temporary shortage in Smileage books. The idea of buying a soldier some theater tickets has proved so popular that the initial allotment of Smileage books has; been snapped up by those first in formed. More books are being rush ed out, and it is announced that any, one desiring their soldier friends ta have Smileage early should hunt no the. local committee and leave ardor- ' ... musique ever I heard and was writ ten by aErl Carroll, who was there in army uniform, looking very hand some.

It could only happen fm the movies, and that's iust where it did happenat Universal City, California. Little Ella Hall was play ing m a very clever representation of the mountain region back of the An droscoggin in a feature which will go xut through her own organization, en titled "New Love for Old." Not being able to go to these mountains, Ella Hall's producer, Elsie Jane Wilson, brought the mountains to Universal City and built them there. Then came the "Santa Anna," or sandstorm, which is peculiar to Southern Califor nia, and aimed a particularly vicious blow at Ella Hall's counterfeit of nature. When the "Santa Anna" was through with the stage settings and equipment, ten thousand dollars worth of damage had been done to this and other productions being staged at Universal City. If any comfort is to be derived from the situation, it is that the same sandstorm hit all of the studios in and about Los Angeles. RAWLINSON IS RESOURCEFUL Herbert Rawlinson, star of "The High Sign," in which he will be seen With Brownie Vernon, is nothing if not resourceful. They tell this? story about him at Universal City in con nection with his director, Elmer Clif ton, while "The Flash of Fate" was being filmed. Rawlinson was driving through Los Angeles when he espied Clifton hur rying for street car. "Hey, there, Elmer, what's the rush? . Where's your car?"

A TRIPLE WEDDING. There will be a triple wedding at the Grand theatre on Friday and Saturday of this week.;--This, will be in the Marguerite Clark picture, The "Amazons," and is one of the pretti est affairs of its kind ever filmed. Three hoydenish sisters who have been raised as boys, on account of their parents' disappointment at their not being sons, suddenly discover that they have grown to young lady hood and are much in love with three valiant English lads. A triple altar had to be specially built for the wedding, for the ordinary altar would not have been wide enough for the three couples.
