DAVIS THEATRE Banner Bill of Motion Pictures. Monday, at the Davis theatre the big feature picture, Tha Unbeliever, pleased large audiences at both per- formances.

Marines under their own officers. The scenc was laid at Quantico, Va., the officers’ training camp for the Ma- rine Corps.

Between the first and second reels of the picture a squad of men from the U. S. Marine detach- ment at the Submarine Base appear- ed on the stage and drilled, going through somse of the movements of the manual of arms.
