The o ehensive pians for recording the played by the Alr Service in the W nrld War are set forth as follows: “Eighteen miles from San Antonin, at Camp Stanley, an Army maneuver ground, trenches are heing laid out and a war area constructed that will arry as far as the eye can see. About o'clock each morning the entire city of San Antonio is shaken by the first blast of explosives set off to dix out the monster shell holes which are necessary to give ‘an appearance of ‘No Man's Land.' Throughout the day, at intervals, other such blasts oceur, “The Government has turned over to Paramount some 2,000 of the larg- est air bombs in the Army list. Some of these are duds, and the whole issue was declared unfit for Government use, so they are bound together in clusters of eight or nine, buried in the ground and sel off electrically. “The very first discharge slightly wounded a laborer at the mess hall, a half mile away, and thereafter those in charge of the work hecame more cautious. The whole area is littered with fragments of twisted steel from these hombs. Shell holes in which a two-story house could he buried have been cansed.

Here a series of luxurious dugouts, such as the German officers occupied, will he constructed, and the capture of this by the Americans will be the culmina- tion of the battle which is to be the climax of *Wings." “Being a picture of the air, it was necessary in ‘Wings' to perfect this battle terrain in a degree that would not be necessary if the action was shot from the ground. But ‘Wings’ will give an aviator's view of war- fare, and as the camera will be skim- ming along through smoke and burst- ing shells at an elevation of 100 feet or less above the ground and moving at the rate of 2 miles a minute, the amount of territory covered in eaci <hot will he unprecedented. “Iiach dotail of the trench systems and other defenses will he literaliv perfect. Army officers who fought at St. Mihiel, each an expert in his own | line, will see that this is se. The entire operation will be shot from a platform 100 feet high, as well as from the air. Then a series of closer shots from the ground will carry the action forward.” Poli's Theater—1:30 ARTISTS’ QOURSE etk o Oride Co.. prin- -ms g 10, Soprano. Chicaxo Contralto. Met.
