Hayakawa Has Strong Part in Latest Play.

By his wonderful performance in
 "The Cheat" MT. Hayakawa es- tablished himself as one of the most
 popular artists on the screen Fol lowing "The Cheat" he renewed his popularity in Alien Souls''-"The Honorable Friend" and his more re- cent vehicle, "The Soul of Kura- San" In all of these MT. Haya- kawa has been seen as a Japanese, but his familiarity with East Indian types and characteristics, which he displayed in "The Victoria Cross, D
 as we'll as his Oriental cast of fea- lures, make him most acceptable
 as a high caste East Indian Each to His Kind" is an excep- l tionally strong photo-dramatization which will add to the laurels oi this sterling star of the silent stage. The story was especially
 written for Mr. Hayakawa by the famous author-Paul West.
 The action takes place in Eng land and in far away India. Love filtration, disappointments, guile l doubt, jealousy, revenge, duplicity and ultimate triumph alternate in
 making this unique photoplay g
 most intensely interesting and en- thralling story.

Film Shows Why II. S. Entered War.

It is just year since America formally declared war against Ger many and hit back against the cow ardly Kaiser, his cowardly minions who comprise his court, and the hordes of Huns and Boches whom the policy Of these murderers has let loose upon an innocent Europe. America, in this war, thought slow ly but acted quickly when her mind was made up, but now she is in the war, she is in it to the end, and that end is the destruction of Ho- henzollernism. Remove the cause, and the effect will cease. The whole world has now agreed that the re- moval of the Hohenzollern dynasty from imperial power is the only way to save Germany from destruction and end the war.
 Anybody who has the ability to read and is not a traitor to civili- zation, knows this-Germany and and Turkey, set themselves a game of world plunder and world rapine. So far, to quote President Wilson, they are baked, but not defeated. The Gerald film, My Four Years in Germany" shows why we are in the war and what would happen to us if we had kept out of it. Our men would have been murdered; our country would have been stolen. The picture is an innovation. It is without a precedent that an am bassador should become an author and lift the curtain upon the dra- matic incidents in which he took part so soon after he asked for his passports. It is the Gerard book in photoplay form, accurate, dramatic, convincing. From the time of the Zabern incident in 1913 to the month of March, 1918, the leading incidents of the worlds war are shown.
 William Night directed the pro- duction. Gerad's book was adopted for the screen by Charles A. Logue, and a capable cast of artists imper- senate the Kaiser, Crown Prince, Von Hindenburf, Von Tirpitz, Pon -Hollweg, Von Falken- hayn, Von Jagow-all the criminal band of unholy Huns who have wrought this hideous carnage.

Shortly after John l.. Sullivan be came the champion he took on John McDermott in Rochester and whipped him in three rounds. The next foe was Jimmy Elliott and Jimmy went down and out before the Sullivan onslaught in the third round.
 Billy Madden, who was Sullivan's manager, about that time declared that John L. could stop any man ir four rounds. At once Tug" Will son, whose real name was Joe Col lins, popped into view and hazarded the guess that "H'i don't think C can stop me-" Wilson followed uI with disparging remarks concerning Sullivans skill as a pugilist. The inevitable happened-John L. agreed to meet him in a four-round combat
 Wilson weighed in the neighbor hood of 155 pounds and was about 5 feet inches tall-a pigmy in com parison with the big champion. Bu' Wilson, a Briton, knew an awful lot about the boxing game and had { reputation for being able to stand up under terrific punishment, Just the same, Sullivan was so confident that he could send the Englishmar down and out in four rounds that he agreed to give him $1,000 in the event of failure.
 Wilson, clever business man, then insisted that he must be given g share of the gate receipts as well , This demand was granted. In addi tion to this Wilson lured Harry Hill warm admirer of Sullivan's into bet. Hill wagered $1,500 to $1,00( with Wilson that Sullivan would stol him within the four round period.
 Tremendous publicity was given tC the contest and when the affair was staged in Madison Square Garder there was a crowd of 15,O00 packed inside-one of the greatest ever gath cred in the famous auditorium. The gate" approximated $30,000.
 Wilson's boasting about his owr ability and his scoffing statements concerning the mighty John l.. SC angered the champion that he wa! like a wild bull when he entered the ring. With the first call O time the Bostonian rushed at Will son but to his surprise was met witl left on the nose. This maddenet

John l.. all the more and he rushed Wilson and cracked him on the head with a powerful right handler. The Englishman dropped But he was up again before the fatal count was reached. Once again John l.. smash ed him on the jaw and Wilson took another flop. Arising to his feet, the Briton decided that discretion is the better part of valor" and from then on gave one of the best exhibitions of marathoning that was ever seen in the ring. He did some fancy div ing the like of which never has been duplicated And the bout became a burlesque.
 Wilson was in that ring for one purpose only-to last through the four rounds. If he did, it meant something like $12,0O0 for him. If he didn't he got nothing but a beat ing. So, having tried conclusions twice with John L.'s big right fist, the Englishman began to use his legs to keep him out of harms way.
 As soon as John l.. would rush him, Wilson would side-step, duck or run A half dozen times John L. fi- gured that he had the Briton corner ed and would swing a sledge-ham- mer right But always Wilson either ducked out of the way before the blow reached it's target, or had dropped to the floor merely for the purpose of gaining time and taking a brief rest on the canvas. Every miss made John L. more furious than ever
 Sullivan hit Wilson about dozen times during that fight but he could not put him out. Every time they got into close quarters, Wilson would drop to the floor He was on the canvas eleven times in the first round and ten times in the second round, seven times in the third and seven times in the fourth. But John L. couldn't make him stay there.
 As the third began Sullivan showed great weariness His wild efforts to land a "haymaker" had used up his energy The champion was out of breath and tired in arms and legs But he kept after Wilson, urged on by his rage. John l.. landed several times during that round, but the blows lacked their earlier steam and
