On the Screen

IT there is any one in America who
does not believe that we are going
to win the war let him visit the Broad
way Theatre and be convinced.
The picture which is being shown
there is called "The Kaiser, the Beast
OF oeriin," but it is not terrifying
beast which struts around on the
screen.
1t is rather a Chantecler who sue
his ability to make the sun rise at his
call.
1t is q Kaiser with a withered arm,
a Kaiser who is struck in the face by
one of his own captains, a Kaiser who
loves rings and bracelets and fair
women and Kaiser who listens
abashed to the rawlings of madman.
The title role is played by Rupert
Julian, who also directed the picture.
The likeness to the Kaiser is remark
able, and Mr.. Julian has undoubtedly
done what he set out to do-rob the
Kaiser of his errors.
He has divested him of all majesty
and presents him as vainglorious
pompous, conceited, petty and cruel
man, whom one could hate but never
fear
Such important persons as Robert
Gordon and Nigel de Bruller were
killed off in the first reel, which only
goes to show how prodigal they are
with their stars in the new picture.
Elmo Lincoln, who will always be
Tarzan of the Apes to every one, is
Marcus the blacksmith. He appears
wearing mustache and possessed of
a beautiful daughter. Ruth Clifford,
and a nice old mother, Ruby Lafayette.
Inc picture could not be called a
story of the war, although the desola-
tion of Belgium is shown and the ter
rible treatment of the gentle, peace
loving people by the invading Huns.
The end of the war is predicted, and
while one feels that this is rather
taking liberties with history, it is
pleasant to see the Kaiser turned over
to King Albert Of Belgium, to do with
as he wishes, and finally to see him in
termed in gaol with Marcus, the
blacksmith, as his gaoley
There are some remarkable charac-
ter portrayals. For instance, Ambassa-
dor Gerard, by Joseph Girard; Alfred
Allen as General Pershing, II. Barrows
as General Haig and Harry Holden as
General Joffre.

'Tis cause for great joy to us all.
And the time it soon Will come when things
begin to hum,
With the Irish flag atop the City Hall.
Home Rule may be far from ould Ireland,
But we have it here, good and tight.
Mrs. Ellen A. O'Grady is most distin-
guished lady.
Sure the Irish have great day tonight.
Hearst and the Jellyfish
Charlie Craig, Controller, made hit
in a recitation entitled "The Toad and
the Jellyfish; or. Why Mayor Hylan
Likes Mr.. Hearst" Part of it ran:
Roaring, Soaring Jellyfsh
A Shiny. grimy jellyfish,
A roaring. soaring jelyfish.
With ugly beak and claws,
The little toad transfxed with fright,
The jellyfsh seized hard and tight,
And held him in his jaws.
But hold, for succor is at hand
OF speed, oh what burst
Across the hot and yielding sand
Ran gallant Randolph Hearst.
The patriotic Mr.. Hearst.
The most hypnotic Mr. Hearst
He did not run in vain.
he reached the frantic jellyfish,
lhat most gigantic jellyfsh,
And Topped it with his cane
Well may the toad thank Mr.. Hearst
And blessings on him wish.
The moral is-don't toady first
Don't be a jellyfsh.
There were other songs When in
the last scene a burglar, "with an or
der from the big boss" (W. R. Hearst)
actually held up the Board of Estimate
itself and was finally admitted to the
charmed circle as Irregular guy" the
evenings entertainment came to an end.

ALIEN ENEMIES BUT FRIENDS
OF THE UNITED STATES

Twelve persons registered in Hope
as alien enemies last week, and from
what we have heard that was a great
er number than registered anywhere
else in the county. OF course that
does not mean that they were enc
mics OF this country. In fact, we
believe they are all good citizens, but
have been careless about taking out
their citizenship papers. One Of
these registrants has been in this
county for more than sixty years, but
since taking out his first papers when
a young man there has been no rea-
son for taking his final papers and
he has neglected to do so. Under our
laws he could vote, and he received
all the benefits without his final pa
pers he could get If he had them.
Such laws should and probably will
be changed in the near future
Hope Dispatch.
Herington leads the way, however,
as 81 alien enemies registered there.

If people past sixty years of age
could be persuaded to go to bed as
soon as they take cold and remain in

recover much more quickly. especial

danger of the cold being followed by
