IDLE HOUR
If you have been following the ad-
venture serial, "The Bull's Eye," you
should not fail to see the final epi-
sode, "The Runaway." today. Eddie
Polo makes a spectacular finish in this
chapter. He defies death in a daring
jump from one moving train to an-
other.
A big Triangle feature forms the
balance of the program. William
Desmond is presented in "An Hon-
est Man," five acts of sterling pro
duction. "A roamer settles up and
dowr." is the explanatory capt'on un-
der the title. It's a film bound to be
entertaining and interesting.

SUPERLATIVE METRO PRODUCTION
Edith Storey
"Revenge
Plenty of real western atmosphere
is shown in "Revenge," th Metro
p ctur'zation of Edward Moffatts^
r,, vel, "Hearts Steadfast," tarj'ingl
the favorite star, Edith Storev, which .
r, presented at the Liberty today only.
In "Revenge," which was produced
at the West. Coast studios, the ath-
letic star returns to ihe "Western'
type of role in which she first became
famous as a reieen star of the first
rank. She is seen to excellent advan-
tage in her favorite type of role.
Director Browninj staged nigh,
r: enes for this picture cn one of the
most famous Western streets ever
erected for the staging of motion pic-
ture scenes. This rtreet has been I
used for hundreds of "Wild and
Wool.v" pictures, starring many well
■ known players. It is said that this
! street has been rebuilt innumerable
,j..,es so as to take o : an entirely
nppearar.ee for each picture.
Many "of the important 'ceres were
staged in Antelope Valley, where over
forty players spent some t me secur-
ing stirring action. Miss Storey and
ethel members of the Metro compa^ j
went to the valley prepared to bag the
limit of game, each carrying rifles and
well loaded cartridge belts.
"Revenge" is the forerunner of a
series of Edith Storey all-star series
Metro pictures which show the star
in it cries of the genu'ne west.

French Fortitude
"1 was motoring along, visiting our
Red Cross operations along the line
or under fire back of the line. At
une town I found that we were min-
i tering there to a woman who a
short time before had been living in a
neighboring town with her father,
mother, and her four children. About
ten nights before my arrival a bomb
had struck the home in which she was
living. It killed her mother, her
father, and two of her children. She
then moved with her other two chil-
dren to the town in which I had
stopped. The night before I arrived
a Roche had ilown over and dropped
bomb which killed these two cliil-
ren. That woman, when asked what
her attitude was. said: 'They have
killed my father and mother, they
have taken my four children, but so
long as I live, I'll fight.'
In that same town there was a
mother who had four sons, three of
(hem in the war. Her baby, fifteen
years old, a boy, was living with her.
Well, three nights before we arrived
a bomb struck her house and killed
the 15-year-old boy. Now 1 don't
know whether it is possible for you
to realise what that means, but if
you will slop and think you will then
f ct some idea of t'n eforces at work
against those people."—I'rom H. P
Davison': description of trip through
war zone.

How Red Cross Copes With Rjfujee
Problem
The following is an excerpt frcm a
jtter written by a Sammy who wit
nessed some of the results of the most
ecent German drive:
"Meanwhile the refugees are pour
ing into .Tnris where they are re-
shipped to the southern provinces, un
'ess they have relatives in Paris or
elsewhere y.'ho are able or willitlg to
lake care of them. I spent part of
Sunday afternoon i' the Gare du
Nord, where train load of evacue-s
from the new'y invaded districts had
iust come in. The American Red
Cress is doing much of the emergency
relief work at the station, and is also
handling the problem of getting the
cvacues out of their invaded towns
and villages.
"Many of the poor people were so
sick or crippled or old that they
couldn't walk from the train to the
rest room in the station, but had to
be carried by gendarmes or wheeled
in baggage trucks, hastily improvised
into litters. They were half starved
most of them, and fell on the sau ago
sandwiches and coffee we passed
around, like wolves
"The children, once they were fed
and provided with new shoes and
fresh clothing by the Red Cross, which
they sadly needed, were perfectly-
happy. forgot their tiredness in the
i excitement of new clothes, and pa-
11 aded around in front of each ether
in the most comical attitudes, count-1
ing each other's buttons to see which
got the most.
"The Red Cross is wonderful, es-
pecially the women, mostly French,
but some English and American. They
worked until ready to drop, giving
cpt food and clothing, petting and
comforting the sick refugees
stretched out on iron cols on both
sides of the room, amusing the chil-
dren, directing the bewildered peo-
ple, always polite to each other, and
with a cheery word for the refugees "
