"Under Four Flags," the third United States official war picture, released by the Division of Films of the Committee. on Public Information, George Crel, chairman, will be presented the Collingwood Thursday, Friday and Saturday, starting Thursday matinee.

Episodes of the fighting erations of the American, British, French and Italian forces on their respective fronts show in minute detail the terrific penalty that was exacted of the enemy and point conclusively to the underlying cause of the superior morale of the allied forces, which was regarded as an important factor in winning the war. Beginning with the council of Versailles, when the supreme command was, given to Marshal Foch, the picture shows the retreat of the French armies, the laden refugees leaving their homes, the American forces rying overseas and the final turn of the tide of the battle. In the most stirring battle scenes ever shown close-ups are given of the Italians in their fighting on the Plave and in. the region of Mount Grappa.
