Dear Mr. Powell: I herewith send you the cinematograph films you have selected. As | have already told you, these films have been taken by the ‘‘operateurs mobilises’’ at the front of the French army with the authorization of the Greet General Staff. It is, as you know, quite superfluous to affirm their authenticity, or to add that they have not been retouched. This is indisputable. Accept, dear Mr. Powell, the expression of my heartiest best wishes. FOURNOL (Bureau Chief). TRANSLATION yyy VM. ill TO-NIGHT AT 8.15 FULTON THEATRE SEATS 25 & 50c Never until the great war has it been pos- | sible for people far from the fighting front to see history in the making. The French official motion picture operators have visualized the grim give and take of the conflict and it is unfolded as an action panorama in these stirring | pictures. | All phases of the war are shown. The flight of armed, bomb-loaded airships sent forth to meet the enemy in the skies. The batteries of great gunsin action against | the enemy’s works. The troops in the trenches preparing to repel an assault. Hand grenade actions across no-man’s land. Prisoners of war on the way to the rear. The sweep of asphyxiating gas across the trench line. These are but a few of the vivid scenes portrayed in the official pictures taken under the direction of the French Army’s General Staff and on exhibition for the first time to-night. E. ALEXANDER POWELL, War Cor- respondent of The ; New York World with the Allied Armies, is the only correspondent, of any nationality, who wit- nessed the German occu- pation of Antwerp, He is the only corre- spondent who was actu ally in Antwerp, Dunkirk and Soissons during the bombardment of — those cities. He has seen more of the French armies in the tield than any other cor- respondent, He has marched and slept with the armies and has been almost continu- ously on the battle front since the war began, He has been in every sector of the Western bat- tle front from the Eng- lish Channel to the Alps. Mr, Powell will appear at each presentation of The World's official French Government mo- tion pictures and tell the story which the pictures so strikingly illuminate. N.
