Enough praise cannot be given to all concerned for keeping "Journey's End” BO true to the original. The added trench and battle scenes only take in what is encompassed in the dug-out con- versation and is a vital part of the story. Yes, Journey's End" is a masterpiece!

"ROOKIES.":

Noted for their comical team work in "All At Sea" and other production, George K. Arthur and Karl Dane score their outstanding success in "Rookles," which is the attraction at the Star Theatre to- day.
