F.S. Special back drop with great cloud effects. Time 14. 18 men. This is a legitimate military offering which gives the audience a rare treat. The men go through the regulation drill, and manual of arms perfectly and with a snap that brings out applause all the time. Then there comes a little melodramatic touch in which a fake battleship is sunk with excellent effect. The gattling [sic] gun drill is a thriller. The best closing act we have had all season.
