Bills for Current Week
Orphenm When "The Retreat of the
German at the Battle of Arras," the Brit
ish official war motion picture, Is shown
at the Orpheum beginning Sunday, October
24, It may occur to some patrons to ask
where wa the camera man when he took
those scenes, and again it may not. The
twelve reels which comprise these pictures
are the composite effort of fifty camera
men, the pick of all the expert cinemato
urapher In the allied forces. Only four
escapea injury, and a moment's thought
after the pictures are seen will lend one
to wonder what atrange trick af providence
saved them. Several men were killed and
other are even now lying seriously wounded
back in hospital In "bllghtly." It was im
possible to save all the cameras, however,
a some of them were destroyed by German
shot and shell. King George ha recognized
the valor of the camera men who took these
picture all soldiers, by the way and most
of them have been decorated for their
bravery.
