IFor the first time a creeping barrage has been put on the screen with really grapthie details by D). W. Griffith in his new photoplay "The Greatest Thing in Life," in wvhich Lillian Gish has the stellar part and~ which will ,......___ be shown at the Pastime Theatre Friday, July 25, matineec andl night. It is a remarkable battle scene. No i rinted words can adevuately de scribe this curtain of fire under the protection of which our Yank boys have repeatedily marched into the Hun trenches. You can see the heavy smoke clouds sweeping forward as though by the force of some unseen giant hand moving steadily towvard the enemy trenches on a hill crest. You can see the shells exploding. It is so vividl that you can almost hear the crash. Through the curtain of clod a bomb ing aeroplane takes its perilous flight: F now up almost in the real clouds; now ..... dlarting like an angry wasp through the smoke and reek of the battle, just about the trenches. The creeping barrage is a (level opment of this wvar. Before the (lays of such intensive artillery fire such a tactical (device was never dream ed of. This is the first visualization available to those at home.
