"MY FOUR YEARS IN GERMANY.^: One of the most sensational eventssin:; connection with the present world -war r was the publication in America of "My. Four Years in Germany," by James; Wv Gerard, who was the United States Am-' bassador to Berlin for the four yearsi pre-. ceding America's entry to the ■ struggle.'This event has been crowned)' by the; facts ac set forth in the book''having' been transferred to the screen.;'"The. benefit of this to mankind is inestimable." Where the book would reach one person the picture will reach ten-thousand, and' the facts revealed by Ambassador Gerard are of such historic importance that they cannot be too -widely circulated. The film, which, is to'be shown in Welling - top in a week's time, is a revelation as to ton in a week's time, is a revelation of: what moving pictures are capable of, and no one,, without 6eeing this production, can have any conception of the sense of reality which, characterises it. The film is a long one, and yet so engroßsingly is it done, and so vividly does it affect the imagination, that for the time being the theatre and the screen and the audience are'entirely forgotten, and the spectator sees only the t most terrific tragedy of all ages actually unfolding itself before him. As perfectly as if he had some supernatural gift of sight he'beholds the Kaiser, tho Crown Prince, Hindenburg, Tirpitz, Be'thmafK Hollweg, and other German potentates, living and moving and intriguing. And among these sinister figures he sees Ger-' ard imperturbable and invincible, steadfastly opposing those forces of evil. No fiction, however wonderful, could' ever Gx the attontiqn in the manner that this epic of truth does, and it must be-re-membered that at no point, dooa the picture depart irom the actual facts.of his-.1 tory. Both -in America and' Australia j the crowds to see it have far exceeded j all previous records, and Wellington can look forward to it as an absolute masterpiece of human achievement.—Advt. Art-lovers will have another opportunity of procuring on Friday, 19th July, some charming oil and pastel paintings by- J. Douglas Perrett, O. H. Howorth, L.'.W. Wilson, and others.
