"THE KAISER, THE BEAST OF BERLIN.

The above Jewel siiper-featnre will be screened-at His Majesty's to-night only. Among the incidents of tho war which form t|he background of the film are the sinking of the Liisitania' and tho subsequent- fate of the captain of the submarine which committed the crime, the famous interview between ' Ambassador Gerard and the Kaiser, which led ■to America's declaration of Avar, the invasion of Belgium, raid the terrible, treatment accorded* to its inhabitants. The subject is treated as a ,jnelo-drama, but the element of sen-. .sationiilism introduced serves only to bring home more effectively to the imagination the horrors which Germany has been guilty of in her niad desire for forld domination. Some of tthe scenes depicting the treatment of inoffensive women, and more particularly cif young girls, during s#ch inoidents as the sacking of Louvain. are extremely vivid and consequently rather harrowing. This, however, is, duo to tlie fact ttiat the makers of i!he pictoro desired to convey to ttnmkind the truth of those happenings so that the. world might realise the monstrosity of the German crimes, llis M;a.jestiy's orchestra will supply iihe music. To-moirrow night only June Elvidgo in "The Power and the | Glory" will be screened.
