Flashes of Action contains more close-up pictures of warfare than the film The Price of Peace, which was more of an artillery picture. In the new picture the various units engaged in the action portrayed are clearly designated for purposes of identification and scenes familiar to the service men will be shown. Accompanying the war film will be a news weekly and a two-reel comedy, giving a long program. The profits to the Legion treasury as the film is given to the Post by the Recruiting service. The picture has been shown all over Michigan and has been seen by a record crowd. It is said to be one of the best pictures ever made of war action and is official, being taken by the Army Signal Corps.
