MY FOUR YEARS IN
 GERMANY" FILMED

At the Orpheo Theatre days con-
 mencing Thursday July 25.
 The biggest production to grace
 the motion picture theatres and so- called legitimate houses of America in 19187 is Ambassador Gerard's
 My Four Years in Germany" filmed upon his famous book, founded upon his experiences while Ambassador to
 the court of the terrible and barbar- ious Hun.
 "We are engaged in a war against the greatest military power the
 world has ever known; against peo-
 pie whose country was for many cen turtles a theatre of devastating wars that fear is bred in the very marrow of their souls. making them ready to submit their lives and their fortunes to an autocracy which for centuries has ground their faces, but which has promised them, as a result of the war, not only security, but riches un- told and the dominion of the world; a people which as from high moun- tain. has looked upon the cities of the world and the glories of them and has been promised these glories by the devils of autocracy and of war"
 This is the message that "Mv Four Years in Germany" brings to the peo- pie of America Just what the Ger man viewpoint is just how ruthless are the officials of the German gov ernment. and the lengths to which the Kaiser and the interruptions Prussian clique with which he has surrounded himself, will go and have gone to attain their ends are revealed with startling clarity in this epic photoplay.
 My Four Years in Germany" is the answer to any question that might arise in the minds of any as to why the United States is at war with Ger many. It is replete with startling in- cidents-drama and tragedy-yet it is more than mere narrative writ ten around a series of events. It is a true picture of those events leading up to Amerca's entry into the war, truthfully portrayed as they occur red. by the one man in the world quail flied to make the portrayal.

HAUBER THEATRE

Many unique features from the standpoint of plot, suspense of in- terest and acting combine to make Bessie Barriscale's Paralta Play, "Blindforld," which will be shown at the Hauber theatre Tuesday and We'd nesday, one of the best pictures which has been presented at this theatre for some time. .'
 It is an unusual story of the under world and the plot is woven about the thrilling life of Bessie Barriscale as Peggy Muldoon," the adopted daugh- ter of Patrick Muldoon," who is we'll known among crooks as "The Ear" because of his remarkable powers of hearing. Before the opening of the story, Patrick Muldoon" is blinded bv premature explosion of nitro glycerine while he is robbing safe, From this time on, he educates "Peg- gy" to believe that there is no wrong
 in robbing the rich. and trains her in all the cleverrness of the art of safe breaking, which has made him fam ous. She progresses to such an ex. tent that "The Ears" men depend almost entirely upon her for their living. She accompanies. them on all their "jobs" and with the aid of a stethoscope, and her sensitive aural powers. she can open practically any safe without the use of explosives. At last when she goes on particularly risky expedition. the police discover ] the crooks activities and attack them is captured but refuses to disclose the

Clara .Kimball Young in "The House of Glass;" Reviewed by Helen Pol lock.
 "The House of Glass. ."Max Marcin's
 successful melodrama of two sea- sons ago, has been transformed into five-part photoplay, with Clara Kim ball Young in the roll of Margaret Case originally acted by Mary Ryan. The story lends itself admirably to the screen and adds another praise worthy feature to Miss Young's previ- sous Select productions. MT. Whitta' ker has made an interesting and ab- s0rbing scenario which has been delft ly handled by Emile Chautard. x Margaret Case, although innocent of any real complicity in the crime, spends year in prison because of her alleged cooperation with James Burke. whom she was about to marry when they were both arrested for the theft of some costly jewels. When Margaret is paroled. instead of re- porting every week to headquarters. she disappears from New York and returns ten years later as Mrs. Har- vey Lake. the wife of successful railroad manager.
 One of the detective who arrested Margaret recognizes her and she tells her husband the whole story. He fi- nally succeeds in securing pardon from the governor in return for drop ping a charge against one of his own employees, for whom the governor has interceded because of his extreme youth. This step wipes all the clouds away and in the end Margaret and Harvey Lake are seen in each others arms,

She is sent to the house of detention and upon leaving after two years of con- finement with completely reformed point of view of life, she secures a position as companion with an elder ly lady of refinement and social standing. Peggy" in time meets, Robert Benton," her employers son, and is married to him.
 There is a startling climax which occurs when several of her former friends in the underworld find her after "The Ears" death and threat en to disclose her past to her husband if she does not aid them in their crooked enterprises.
 This Paralta Play, which was dir ected by Raymond B. West. shows Miss Barriscale in a role entirely div ersified from her previous character ization.

but quite polite, and 1 thought

an order that will answer all your re-
quirements and enable you TO give me

signature on scrap of paper and
handed 1t to him.
He looked at me carefully through
the 1atticed window, then jumped
down from the high chair and came
outside to clasp me by the hand.
Good heavens, leftenant y he ex-
claimed, as he pumped my hand up
and down, chow did you ever get
away?' and I had to sit right down
and tell him and half dozen other
people in the. bank all about my ex-
periences.
i had been in England about five
days when | received telegram
which, at first, occasioned me almost
as much concern as the unexpected
sight of a German spiked helmet had
caused me in Belgium. 1t read as
follows:
Lieut.. p. A. OBrien, Royal Flying
Corps. Regents Palace Hotel, Lon
don:
1.-THE king is very glad to hear of
your escape from Germany. If you
are to be in London on Friday next,
December 18th, His majesty win re.
ceive you at Buckingham palace at
0:30 a. m. Please acknowledge.

OF course, there was only one
thing to do and that was to obey ord
ers. | was an officer in the army and
the king was my Commander In chief,
l had to go, and so | sat down and
sent off the following answer:
Earl Cromer, Buckingham Palace,
London:
II will attend Buckingham palace
as directed, Friday, December 18th, at
10 80.
LIEUT.. PAT O'BRIEN."
In the interval that elapsed, I must
confess. the ordeal of calling on the
king of England loomed up more
dreadfully every day, and | really
believed / would rather have spent an.
other day in the empty house in the
big city in Belgium or, say, two more
days at Courtrai, than to go through
what believed to be in store for me,
Orders were orders, hosever, and
there was no way of getting out of 1t.

riences of my life.

matter-of-fact tone of voice as could

drive me to Buckingham palace, as

down, opened the door and exclaimed
threateningly:
"If you don't get out quietly and
chuck your drunken talk, I'll jolly
quick call bobby, biz me, If I
WON'T"
But can only give my word that
nothing of the kind occurred.
When / arrived at the palace gate,
the sentry ON guard asked me who |
was and then let me pass at once
up to the front entrance of the palace.
There l was met by an deliberately
uniformed and equally deliberately
decorated parsonage who, judging by
the long row of medals he wore, must
have seen long and distinguished serv-
Ice for the king.
= l was relieved of my overcoat, hat
and stick and conducted up a long
stairway, where i was turned over to
another functionary, who led me TO
the reception room Of Earl Cromer,
the kings secretary.
There l was introduced to another
earl and a duke, whose name I do not
remember. l was becoming so bewil-
dered, in fact, that 1t is a wonder that
I remember as much as do OF this
eventful day.

zenship responsibilities.
"Undoubtedly there could not have
been, since the outbreak of the Euro
pean war, such divisions amongst the
nationalities of our country as we
have witnessed, if COMMUNICATIONS
by virtue of thorough familiarity
with our language had been able to
get the hearing in our press to which
their otherwise many good qualities
entitled them. In a sense they
barred themselves from this fair
hearing to the extent in which they
accepted the belief and acted upon
the theory that with good knoWl-
edge of German at their command
the English language was quite super
fiuouS or unnecessary. The result has
been sort of isolation and mutual
misunderstanding between classes OF
our people who, but for the bar of
language, could have been the best of
friends even in the face of the present
tremendous upheaval. German-Ameri
cans who barred English from their
home circles barred themselves from
the forum of free public discussion.
They handicapped themselves and
handicapped the few English language
papers and public men who had the
hardihood to defend them against
malice and injustice. To all of this
there is but one answer: Every Ann
erican citizen should be acquainted
with the language of his country.
knowledge of his mother tongue is
great advantage, but not one-quarter
the advantage it would be if coupled
with knowledge of English. This is
not case for the abolition of German
or any foreign tongue, but the immedi-
ate adoption of English in every home
in the land as the language OF Our
nation. ''-Brillion News.

By the way, what is going to
be done about observing Mem
mortal Day in Eagle River, and
paying tribute to the departed
who nearly sixty years ago were
offering and giving their lives
on the battlefield just as the
sons of the United States are
doing today. With the prospect
that before another year has
passed, every community will
have new cause for observing
the day dedicated to it's soldier
dead with honor and respect,
there is more reason than ever
why the graves Of the boys of
'61 should receive attention.
