GERARD'S PLAY STIRS CROWDS

The picturizatlon of James W. Gerard's book, "My Four Years in Germany" "which la being screened at the Washington theater will make the most passive person thrill with the knowledge of being American, and that such a man as James W. Gerard is an American, and the American who faced the kaiser with the words that be wouldn't sign unfair treaties "till hell froze over." The picture shows in all the fierce brutality, the

wholesale murder of men the mur

derers being Justified because each are equipped with the instructions: : "Kill the men dead and God and the kaiser will stand by you." The picture is undoubtedly the adequate and convincing series of illustration of Mr. Gerard's book. . To those who have not read the book, no more popular method of acquainting themselves with the ugly facts which, according to official diplomatic representatives led io the world war and our part In It could be found than by witnessing this intensely Interesting and important document of the screen. Mr. Gerard himself has been quoted as saying that the picturization has been made because he wishes to bring home to the people of America the gravity of the present situation. To say that this cinema does this thing, does it graphically, seriously, is to be no more than scant justice. No simpler or effective way of learning of the character and policy of the autocracy we are at present fighting, than that shown in the picture. The great American heart of

Mr. Gerard makes a forcible impres-1

sion when he sees face to face the horrors of the German prisons and how the diseased men and healthy men are required to remain in the same filthy holes and again when the 20,000 women from northern France are taken as slaves to work on German farms. It is the ugly brutal treatment suffered by individuals rather than an army as a whole that stirs the American blood, and makes the American pride. rise in revolt when insults such as "America won't fight," are hurled at the American ambassador. When the long lines of American troops are shown, immediately the picture inspires a new confidence in America and makes the audience feel that America and democracy will stand as prominent factors in crushing out Prussian autocracy. It is amazing how dramatic, in a purely theatrical sense, such history can be. "My Four Years in Germany," demonstrates that international politics and men of diplomacy can write as good a play and as stirringly vital a scnario as could be wished for. The scenarid of this play is important and of interest to every citizen in the country. It tells him, with but very little sentimentalizing, and no catering to race prejudice the facts which led up to his country's entrance in the war. He is looking at the illustration of facts. And these facts are even more gravely important to us now, we realize than when they originally came to pass.

On The Screen

MURRAY Inspector Moran has a great deal to ponder over while sitting at his desk at police headquarters these days. He has succeeded in fathoming a great many criminal conspiracies, but right at home a mysterious occupation was taking the time of his wife, of which he never even suspected her. Triangle's absorbing photoplay, "The Hand at the Window," explains this mystery. It also explains the peculiar occupation which Inspector Moran's wife was following. For Laura Bowers, his sweetheart, was a distinct puzzle to Inspector Moran when he first met her. But he fell madly in love with her and married her despite the mysterious warning of Tony Brachieri, "When you get married, Meesta, look out." This picture will be shown at the Murray Theatre on Wednesday and Thursday.

The latest devel opments in the Austrian s-ituation apparently can be summarized as "concession to the Germans and threats to the southern Slavs," says a dispatch from The Hague to the Daily Mai) "At least," continues the correspondent, "that is how the Czechs and the southern Slavs regard the decision of Premier Von Seydler to introduce for Bohemia alone the rearrangement of the provincial administration which was promised nearly a year ago for all Austria. "The Austrian Germans are pressing for a number of administrative changes which would give them influence over the machinery of the government greatly in excess of their numerical proportion. The Czechs consider that the concessions of the Germans is an obstacle put in he way of the realization of their own demand for the political independance of Bohemia one and undivided. "Von Seydler.'s announcement has infuriated the Czechs. The southern Slavs are furious over the proclamation that stern measures will be taken to repress disturbances in the south.
