"The Woman I Love", starring Paul Muni and Miriam Hopkins, tells the story of the usual love triangle against a background of the front line trenches on the Soissons sector in 1917, while "We Have Our Moments", a gay and riotous farce of twenty years later, put the audience in giggles the moment the news reel before it subsided and left many in the aisles exhausted at the end of the hour and a half it held the screen...

Shortly after 5 p. m. the Allied soldiers saw a sinister greenish cloud rolling toward them across No Man's Land. Some of them broke and ran; thousands stuck to their posts or fled too late. Soon the trenches were heaped with gasping, choking, dying men. The gas was chlorine, 168 tons of which were released that day from 5,730 cylinders over a four-mile front.
