Mr. and Mrs.
Sidney Drew
4.
Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Drew, who
are coming to the Boyd theater this
week in one of their stage comedy
successes, are bringing with them
a motion picture ctmera, and while
in this city will, spend a art of
their time taking some scenes which-fmensely,'
will later be worked up into a
"transcontinental" comedy.
I he title is not known and the
Drews arn't right sure as to just
what it's all about, but they are hav
ijigthe time of their lives filming
all the funny things 'that canhappen
to tneatrical tone wnue enroute
through the country and incidentally
if the picture they finally turn out
isn't a whirlwind of a comedy suc
cess, it wiH certainly bring home to
every city where the Drews are to
play some of the scenes of their own
dusty or clean streets. And by
your streets shall ye be judged.
"We enjoy making pictures im-
says Mr. Drew, seconded
with an energetic nod from Mrs.
Drew. But there is the lack of a
personal touch between, you and
your audience in working before a
camera that Mrs. Drew and myself
have never overcome. -T3ut there
are other things about the work that
make it most enjoyable and we are
certainly going to do more of it in
the next year."

-J ' -
rriuay.
' In the third great battle of the
Piave, fought between the Piave
river and the Asiago plateau, he
captured the enemy's army, their
big guns and materia), and cut their
lines of communication rendering it

war, thus resulting not only in the
destruction of an army, but in the
destruction of the Austrian empire.
Mr. 'Clark spent .the entire sum
mer with the Italian armies, visiting
various sectors, including the Pidve
front, along the Alps, Albania, Sa
lonika and Macedonia.
