PLAZA

The screen version of Ambassador James w, Gerard's My Four Years in Germany will be shown for days commencing at the Plaza, Oct. '.
 Those who have read the book will find that the main incidents of the story of the intrigue and Ger man perfidy shown with life like detail. The chief characters in this great world drama are drawn with truth, and the story is held togeth- CT with fine touches of art of pie ture making. There are shown num- erous audiences with the Kaiser, and real German buster is seen in the war lords threat to the Ambassa- dor that After This War Germany Will Stand for No Nonsense from the United States" There is also pie tured the TeutOnic boast that America won't fight-a boast that has been made childish by the present appear ance of hundreds of thousands of American soldiers in France. Other facts that are shown include Ger many's treatment of prisoners of war, the effort to bottle up the Bri- tish fleet, which was frustrated through information furnished by MT. Gerard; theb rutality of the

EMPIRE

In order to portray her role of Dor othy Grant in Her Country First" the latest Paramount picture in which she is starred, Vivian Martin had to learn to operate the semaphore. or wig-wag, as it is used in the United States Army.
 In this picture which is the at traction at the Empire theatrea to- day, Miss Martin plays the part of an eager, patriotic American girl who organizes a Girls Aviation Corps. Her knowledge of the semaphore saves her from a difficVlt situation when she is taken prisoner by spies who try to learn the password to her father 5 munition plant. But she manages to send out distress signal and is res cued.
 Sergeant Purcell of the United States Army, taught the pretty little Paramount star the semaphore and he found her a most willing student.
 Riding a wild and unruly mustang which she controls with ease, Elsie Ferguson, the beautiful Aircraft star, provides several thrilling scenes. in her latest photoplay, Heart of the Wi1ds." which will be the main at traction at the Empire theatre today and tomorrow. This is one of several unusual incidents which contribute to make this picture one of the finest of its kind ever produced.
 When Miss Ferguson, accompanied by Director Marshall Neilan and her supporting players went to Wyoming to produce the great out door scenes of the photoplay, it was necessary for Miss Ferguson to make a darinE horseback trip in a rough country along the edge of high cliffs and down narrow preeipNous foot paths. When the westerners who provide horses for the producing outfit offered Miss Fer guson G. rather tame pony she good naturedly declined to consider the impossible mount.
 | "Give a spirited animal" she said laughingly. "One that will necessi- tate genera1ship to handle.'
 Sto it came about that when the ath- 1 letic actress mounted an unruIy anil nal and with a few delft applications of her quirt brought the pony to com piete subjeetion, expert cowpunehers marveled greatly thereat until they learned that Miss Ferguson is one of the most skilled horsewomen in the country
 Miss Ferguson has 8 splendid role in Hearts of the Wilds," the scenes of which are laid along the Canadian border There are troopers, Indians and cowboys aplenty in the action.

WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WORLD OF THEATRES AND AMUSEMENT

German toward the women and chill dren of Belgium and northern France, and the attitude of the Ger man people toward their govern ment. At no time Is it necessary to resort to fiction to bring out the German character and to show the effort of the Kaiser to dominate the world. The picture undoubtedly will have a great influence upon all those who see it, and. should be a great factor in stirring up the peo- pie of Bridgeport to look our war conditions squarely in the face. They will have a chance to see pictured many things that do not greatly im- press when seen merely on the print ed page. If you are a 100 per cent. American you will want to see the truth as pictured in this wonderful picture. If you are not, you will see things in a better light after wit messing this presentation and view things from a different angle.
 It costs America nearly half a mill lion dollars to put one large 10 inch gun into action on the field of bat tie. It costs about $1,O0O a shot to maintain it in action. But thousands of such guns are beIching in battle daily and the war is conducted at a cost of about one million dollars an hour. Why? That Liberty of all peoples may prevail and because a military and despotic power decided to conquer and annex the world. One man created all this turmoil. The Kaiser. One man, an American for four long years watched the pre- paration with the eagle eye of the | diplomat. One man knows what German chicanery means, better than any other American. That man is James W. Gerard, for four years Americas ambassador to the Im- perial German court at Berlin.
 Gerard now is in America, he is intensely loyal, and that ever -Ameri- can may know what Germanism means he has written a book that is 1 going into every American home He also, by government sanction has staged and photographed with real i istic effect, duplicate of his great book that those who run and can see may read, every line of German ! treachery and duplicity in diplomacy and on the actual field of battle.
 The scenes although taken in America, are taken with fidelity for | they are acted in part by the divisions of American soldiers who were sta- toned at Camp Upton. Under gov> ernment sanction. The photograph is perfect, the interior setting life like. It portrays the Kaiser and hi1 staff, the treatment accorded Rus l sian and English prisoners by the Germans; the capturing and deporta- ton of Belgian women; the killing off young and old; the shooting of other prisoners on their way to prison
 camps to avoid feeding them. An these and more are shown in a man ner perhaps too life like but quite necessary for the proper appreciation
 of what is going on in the countries l over-run by the Hun.
 This great picture will be shown
 today and for two shows tomorrow
 night at the Plaza theatre, where
 popular prices prevail. On Monday the Plaza returns to it's usual vaude- vile and photoplay policy.

PARK

There are few forms of entertain ment having a more universal appeal than an exhibition of mystery and in the coming of Thurston, the famous magician, to the Park theatre for three days, starting next Monday, with a matinee Wednesday, who is conceded to be the greatest exponent of the art of necromancy and the most plausible and delightful trick ster of the show world today, theatre- goers will be treated to the best there is in the line of magic. For twelve years Thurston has led the van of wonder workers in his line and is regarded as the legitimate successor to the honors and prestige of Herr mann and the great Kellar.
 With the announcement of Thurs tons engagement the interest to old and young alike grows manifest, for his coming insures a joyful holiday season. The spread of modern magic and it's proper understanding are an important sign of progress, and in this sense the feats of our Herrmanns, Kellars and Thurstons are a work of great educational sig nificance. They are instrumental in dispel1ing the fogs of superstition by exhibiting to the public the astonish- ing miracles of the art of magic; and while they amuse and eneertain, they fortify the people in the conviction of the reliability of science. |. Most of Thurston's new features for this year deal with life in the after world such as the manifestations of spirits and the naturalization of ghosts Other sensational mysteries are "Gravitation Def1ed." "The Mir acle," Shadows of Life,' Every Woman's Wish,' Spirit Paintings The Vampire" and An Invisible Flight"
