MANTELIis MACRETH

Energetic power and rhetorical effec-
tlveness were more in evidence than pro-
found characterization and poetic imag-
ination last evening at the Lyric. where
Mr. Mantell and his leading woman, Flor
ence Auer. bodied forth the numbering
Thane Of Cawdor and his murderous-
minded lady in shalespeare's titan trag-
edy OF Macbeth" the propulsive force
OF which is "vaulting ambition which
o'erleaps itself"
Kings Of Scotland in traditional times
were doubtless not very subtle i'm their
psychology and Mr.. Mantell fashions his
in melodramatic wise. robustly and ro-
mantically. Ills performance expresses
graphically rather than illusively the over
aspiring general, who becomes "a most
unhappy king" yet brings out fairly
enough the Thames essential vacllation
and weakness of character, despite bodily
viEor and fierce valor. II has always
need of the stimulus of the pressingly am
bilious woman, set on sole sovereign
sway and masterdom." Miss Auer's inn
personation had much OF surface sweep OF
ferocity intensity and inpressiveness,
but little OF the dramatic surge that un-
derltes the role, yet she contrived TO show
feminine capacity to devise excuses for
III designs and vlrile energy to further
them. Her Lady Macbeth failed Of au-
thentlc tragic aptitude in that It was not
plastic but always posed. The principals
received good support, but the production
was more routine than persuasive.

Intimate views of the kaiser together
with pictures of fighting In the tranches,
drew applause from large audience at
the Forrest Theater yesterday afternoon.

time in this city.
The review of troops, in which several
thousand of the latter were visible from
time to time, by the German ruler. created
what seemed to be genuine patriotic fer
vor. Spectators loudly clapped the scenes
in which he figured, and such scenes APP
parently caused the most outspoken APP
probation OF the afternoon.
While not epoch-making, other pictures
as we'll came in for their share OF inter
est. Among them were Crown Prince
Ruprecht and his staff leaving for the
front, n regiment chaplain holding serv-
ices details OF besieged Antwerp. flashes
of armored motorcars manned by Bel
gians and n German field battery in
action.
A French bayonet charge and an at
tempted fianlSing movement provided n
thrill or two, while Red Cross dogs seek
ing wounded soldiers after a battle pleased
the humanitarians.
There were also vivid sights of ambu-
lances transporting the wounded from
the front. the striking of water tower
by a she'll. the sultan of Turkey reviewing
his navy, Germans building a pontoon
bridge, French prisoners bound for a de-
tention camp and the arrival of the Brit

galore.

War Pictures at Forrest

Motion pictures of the conflict now rag
ing in Europe were on view at the Forrest
last night and an audience of large pro-
portions watched with deep interest the
ever-changing scenes, Some of the pic
lures sent thrills through the body. so
strilSnEly real and full of actual war
atmosphere were they. The majority of
the pictures are said to have been taken
by a corps of German photographers at
the command of the Emperor. who is de-
sirous of preserving the tragedies of the
struggle for future generations as showing
the chivalry and valor of his countrymen.
In some Instances the camera men took
desperate chances to secure the object of
the quest the pictures showing the hur-
ried movement to escape the hoofs of the
galloping horses Many of the scenes de-
picted the havoc wrought by the shelling
of cities, the wanderings of the unfor-
tunate refugees searching for a place to
call home the battle raging between the
contesting armies and many other intimate
Gllmpses of the terrific struggle, An at
tempt was made to describe some of the
pictures, but the lecturer was scarcely
sufficiently conversant with his subject to
undertake the task.

War Pictures-FOrrest

Numerous startling features of the Eu-
ropean war were Vividly portrayed by
motion pictures shown at the Forrest
Theatre yesterday afternoon and evening.
Many of these pictures were taken under
fire. and I'm some instances the operators
of the picture machines had their instru-
ments destroyed by shots. The pictures
were almost entirely confined to the Bel
glum field of operations and covered a
wide variety of movements, from the
transportation OF troops TO the care of the
wounded in hospitals and the occupations
of prisoners In the detention camps.
There were numerous thrills in the views
Of actual conflict where lines Of op-

Henry Borbach Insists Dead Chef
Invented Dish Bearing His Name.
Most famous dishes have had theit
origin in the dining room and not in th1

Of Philadelphla's leading chefs and other
hotel employees seeking to take away the
honor OF inventlng Chicken ia King
from the late "Bill" King, who died last
week at his home $3.50 Usage avenue.
Borbach says there Is no need 70 cor
tlnue the controversy as there IL no
doubt that King invented the toothsome
dish
Borbaoh declared today that King in
vented the dish which has now become
world-famous before his health forced
him to transform his abilities 20 the
dining room from the kitchen. He also
says that an indication OF the versatility
of King is shown by the fact that, al
though seeking the domain Of the waiter
without experience. in short time he
had risen to tho position Of assistant cap
tain in the dining room before his DEATH
Borbach says that although cook in a
dining room is like a sailor riding on
horseback King was one Of the few men
who could adapt himself to such b
change.
Chefs and others who are attempting TO
deny Kings claims to originating the dish
which bears his name are invited by Bor-
bach to learn the business by starting

War Pictures at the Forrest

Close range motion pictures OF the
European war were shown for the first
time before large and appreciative audi
ences at the Forrest Theatre last night,
and presented various aspects of the
worlds greatest strife with dramatic
force. There were reviews of troops in
which the German Kaiser was the review
ing officer. and the Kaiser came in for
vigorous applause. There was a picture
Of Crown Prince Ruprecht and his staff
leaving for the front, and another film
showed French bayonet charge Red
Cross dogs searching for wounded SOL
dIers after a battle gave sympathetic
touch to that reproduction. Among the
other pictures shown were ambulances
transporting wounded Germans building
a pontoon bridge, French prisoners bound

KAISER IN FILM HERE
War Pictures at Forrest Show Actual
Battle Scenes.

The latest motion pictures of the war,
which are being presented for the first
time in the United States at the Forrest
Theatre under the auspices of the EVEN
ING LEDGER, give a comprehensive and
intimate view OF the German army in
field and In camp. n few of the pictures
show Belgian and French troops in action,
but most of them We're taken within the
German lines and show various episodes
from the Saiser's review of a division on
a road I'm France and Bavarian cavalry
charge to the departure of recruits from
Berlin and a Prussian officer eating soup.
The picture of the Kaiser reviewing his
troops is the most remarkable of the
group The camera was placed less than
two yards from the War Lord and 1t
caught not only every motion he made,
but also every expression Of the troops
as they Eoose-stepped past The adora-
ton with which the soldiers fastened their
eyes on their monarch until some of them
even forgot to keep step awOke a respon-
sive thrill I'm every person in the house.
Other pictures filled with the dash of war
were a Bavarian cavalry charge the
blowing up of bridge over the River Lys
and n fight between the French and the
Germans for another bridge over the same
river.
The pictures OF heavy German guns in
action and Of Belgian quick-frers and
armOred trains are Such as nave grown
familiar through previous photographs of
the war,
There is one glimpse of German soldiers
in a French village plcncklng with
French women and children, and the per-
formance closes with a view Of the monu-
ment which the Austrlans already have
erected to their dead, The pictures show
the life of the German army at its best
and are likely to arouse a friendly feeling
toward the Kaiser's troops in all who see
them.
