War film Flashes of Action to show at Elite Theater
The official United States government moving pictures from the signal corps, titled Flashes of Action, will be shown at the Elite Theater on Friday April 8.

The Raleigh audience praised the footage showing scenes from the Western Front including air squadron maneuvers led by Lieutenant Quentin Roosevelt and Captain Eddie Rickenbacker, with vivid depictions of frontline combat and bombardment. Admission is 25 cents.
