h. \. ,, ' President Wilson snd every mem'! ber of the United States Government hsveu rged the people to cheerfulness duringk thew sr, to follow the normal customs without waste or without prodigality. Every branch of the government has used the motion picture for props ganda since the start of the ar and has afforded every facility, under proper supervision to the portrayal of the various governments on all of thescreena of the country. At thed irection of President Wil son the Committee on Public Informa tion has gone further than this and. has inaugurated its own department | of motion pictures, taking all of these j employes from established film com-, panles. ; This committee itself will make j pictures for showing in ther egular! established theatres. One seven- j • reel feature has already been com-) pleted and shown in a few sections i of the cuontry in advance of its gen-1 era! release. The war and navy departments have specifically authorized sailors and soldiers to take part in feature j pictures. “The Unbeliever,” a recent j production had the cooperation of an entire corps of U. S. Marines and, j with the exception of n few profes- j sionnl players, they supplied the en- ■ tire cast This was a commercial | picture. Soldiers of the United States Gov ernment used in "Over the Top” and i many other pictures. Sailors have ap ! peared in features without number. President Wilson has never refus ed to pose for a motion picture. Not a week goes by in which he does not appear in one. Mrs. Wilson is a regular attendant at Washington theatres. Within the month the Associated Press has chronicled her appcaranc at the show ing of one of the big features. Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo had many times publicly given the motion picture theatres credit for a great share of thew ork that is being done toward winning the war. Ten cents out of every dollar that is paid in to the motion picture the atres of thee ountry go into the Unit ed States Treasury to fight the Hun. In addition to that there are other tacs on the manufacturers of thefllm. When the Third Liberty Loan came Secretary McAdoo called upon many of the motion picture stars to help in thew ork. Mary Pickford, Doug las Fairbanks, Charlie Chaplin, Wil liam S. Hart, Marie Dressier, and scores of others mado tours of var ious sections of tho country and raised an aggregate of millions dollars. When Food Conservator Hoover wishes a special appeal to go to the country he calls in the motion picture men and this appeal is flashed on tho screens of the bigger theaters. When the Red Cross drives come j when an impetus is needed for the War Savings Stamps, or any other war fund is needed, the motion pic ture theater is aclled upon and al ways responds. The Government has endorsed mo tion pictures by erecting in the var ious training camps Liberty Theatres where the same class, and thesame ac tual pictures that you see at the pic ture play arc shown. These nrc not | only shown with the consent of the Government, but by ita direct order. The Government knows that no one thing is more calculated to keep glad the hearts of then oldiers and sailors than the motion picture. Gen. Pershing has called for more motion pictures to be sent abroad. He has asked for the kind that you are seeing day after day at your theatre. He arranges the leaves of absence so ttmt themcn shsll have certain relief .from trench life to attend-the mo tion picture theatres behind he lines. The Government of the United States has endorsed them otion pic ture in every way that is possible, in raising money, in educating the peo ple, and in keeping the people happy and confident The Government knows what it wants. It has not hesitated to tell you when this or that should be done. It tells you in so msny words to go to the motion pictures—and H sends ita fighting men there and when they cannot go it sends the pictures them. Help the government win The war You will help it by going To the Motion picture Theatre and contributing Your part in the war and You will bo following the Express endorsement of the President and every Element of the Nation's Government Does the Government know better what It wants or some individual .who himself up as greater than Wood- Wilson snd every one of his aids In the war of Democracy againt Au tocracy.
