HARRISBURG TO
BE SHOWN YANKS
City Is to Figure in "Picture
looks." Prepared For
Men at Front
The notable civic achievements of
Harrisburg are to be brought to the
attention of the American soldier in
the trenches of France through the
medium of attractive lantern slides
being prepared by the Chamber of
Commerce at the request of the Na
tional War Work Council of the
Young Men's Christian Association, it
was announced to-day.
Harrisburg will be the center of
the plan to bring to the American
soldier in France pictures of his
homeland. The American Civic As
sociation, of which J. Horace McFar
land is president, has assumed the
task of assembling and shipping these
slides to France and the set for Har
risburg is being prepared by Mr. Mc-
Farland at the request of the board
of directors of the Chamber.
To Cheer the Soldier
It is known that our American sol
diers in their hours off duty are in
tensely interested in cheerful things
relating to the homeland. For this
reason the National War Work Coun
cil of the Young Men's Christian As
sociation has undertaken to provide
these slides, which will be known as
"Pieturelooks." It is believed that
not only these pictures will be pleas
.ing to our men "over there." but
.that they will, if properly selected
and commented upon, provide a most
\aluable educational influence.
The man tram Harrlsburg who
sees not only a "Pictureiook" of the
beautiful Susquehanna river, but sim
iiam "Picturelooks" of San Francis
co and of the Pacific coast or of the
open country or of the Rocky moun
tains, gains a new and better concep
tion of the great country to defend
which he has put his life in Jeopardy.
Similarly, the opportunity given to lo
cal committees to set before hundreds
of thousands of selected husky Amer
icans the best things characteristic of
any particular region in the Vnited
States is one which hardly needs to be
: commented upon.
No Dancer of Overaupply
The actual demand for these slides
exceeds 200,000 items, so that there is
no present danger of an oversupply.
The "Picturelooks" will be used far
beyond the reach of any moving pic
ture outfit, for it is known that sets
of slides are taken into the dugouts
immediately back of the firingline to
help pass the hard hours of confine
ment in the trenches. It is not Im
probable that some of the slides may
be captured, as Y M. C. A. huts have
been captured in the 1915 spring of
fensive. Surely they will do no harm
to Germany.
It is said that the French and Brit
ish soldiers are also greatly interst
?d in the "Picturelooks," so that they
may easily come to do double service.
A manuscript in explanation of the
pictures will accompany each set of
slides.
The views of Harrfsburg will prob
ably be sent to France with the next
shipment, which is to be made about
August 1.

One of the unusual features of thin
film is the fact that it consists of
five full reels of Chaplin fun. packed
to the brim, while most Chaplin films
are only two reels in length, and
leave the audience with an Oh-I-wish
there-were-more feeling. The five
reels in "Chase Me. Charlie." are de
signed to satisfy this longing, and
incidentally "turn the dark cloud in
side out!"
The Krlvlt Company is finishing up
a five weeks' engagement at Paxtang,
with A. Seymour Brown's
Paxtang latest effort in the musi-
Park cal comedy line. This
Theater piece has proved a re
markable success at the
park and will be seen in many of the
big vaudeville houses of the country
during the coming season as a head
line attraction. The comedy lines in
the piece are clever. There is also an
interesting plot, a thing in itself usu
ally considered unnecessary In girl
acts. while the specially-written
musical numbers are pretty sure to
add two or three more song hits to
Mr. Brown's already large score.
