AT THE DAVIS rHEATER TODAY
The Greatest Picture Ever Produced Ambassador Gerard's My Four Years in Germany.

The interest attached to the film play, My Four Years in Germany in- creases with each exhibition of the picture, and it's presentation at the Davis theatre, beginning today, IS awaited with intense interest.
 But there is no mystery about the popularity of the play. It lets the public into the mysteries of diplomacy as diplomacy is practiced in these days and shows conclusively just how the big war was started and by whom.
 Ambassador Gerard, from whose book the play was adapted. had un- usual opportunities for getting at the inside facts in the case and through his direction, the screen play was put on in 8 lifelike and convincing man. ner.
 One sees exactly how much the promises of the kaiser are worth and his great ambition to dominate the world is made clear. How he really pleaded for a cause for declaring war is shown as we'll as the way he has waged it.
 The ragaving of Belgium, the hor- rible treatment of interned aliens, and war prisoners are shown exactly as seen by Ambassador Gerard, and the preparations for the great conflict are also indicated.
 The entire play is a lesson that ev- cry American should learn, in order to avoid the combinations into which the kaiser has been drawn. For your own comfort 1t is wise to secure your seats in advance.
