. , The bayonent fighting event alone
is jworth gouig miles to' see, those
whb - have .witnessed the soldiers'
stunts declare. This is a thriller of
thrillers. The soldiers attack' dum
mies, garbed in Cerman uniforms. At
a signal, the men charge in line for
2s yards, swoop down on. the-dummies
under full speed and take three
quick thrusts with their bakopets.
, Real Battle Next. , ,

they encounter not dummies, but real
flesh and' blood human beings. They

struct in . the -baponent practice.
These instructors are armed with
, clubs wiTS which they block the bayo
net thrusts. It is quite dangerous, or
it would be if the-Englshmcn were
not so skilled with their clubs, and it
is said to be a thriller that exceeds
all others. '

renown will be members of the com
peting teams.. Mike'Gibbons, the St.

Omaha Movie Man Oneof Lqrgest
Exhibitors in the Entire Country

A. H. Blank is one of the largest
and best known motion picturei-ex-hibitors
in this section of the country;'
but is .with difficulty that a person
can locate him' or know just where
they can lay their hands on him, as
his Douglas' Fairbanks smile as
well, or better known in New York
City than right here in Omaha. He
is likewise well known among motion
picture producers and actors and
knows most of them by their first
names. - '
-Blank owns and ooerates not only
the "Strand" in this city, but is also
responsible for the new theater .now
in course of construction at 15th and
Douglas to be called "The Rialto."
In Davenport, Ja., ne nas tnree
theaters, "The Casino," "The Garden"
and "The Family;", in Marshalltown,
"TbevStrand," and in Des Moines
"The Garden."
Blank is also interested in distrib
uting motion picture films, having
offices in Des Moines, Kansas City,
St. Louis and Omaha. When the
famous Triangle and Selznick pic
tures were first released he controlled
their exclusive distribution 'in Ne
braska. Iowa. Kansas and'AIissouri,
and now controls, the First National
Exhibitors circuit, including Madam
Olo-a Petrova. Charlie Chanlin and
the Herbert " Brennon productions,f
who have made the sensational pic
ture, "The Downfall of- the Roman
offs."
.The new Rfelto" Blank is building
will seat 2,500 people and the cost
of construction is said , to aggregate
$250,000 and it will compare with the
largest theater in tins country in
point of eating capacity and beauty.
An Italian garder effect will pre
dominate in the decorations and there
will not be a post or obstruction in

screen being placed- on one of the

the manager's office will be a buzzer
system whereby he can remain at his

entire theater. In fact it will repre

No one ever heard of a person be

to conclude that lhe proper method
of treatment for pimples, blotches,
sores, Tioils, rough, -red anTcaly
skin, is to purify the blood and re
move the tiny germs of pollution that
breakthrough and manifest their
presence on the surface of the skin,
