| This is the striking plot of THE Bride

Miss Carmen has come rapidly to the

upon audiences she has come to be
recognized as ore of the foremost ex-

BEAST OF BERLIN"
AT KEENEY'S MONDAY

Everyone concerned in the produc-
ticn Of THE Kaiser, the Beast Of
Berlin must have a deep sense of
sc tisfaction, a satisfaction which can
be obtained only through a worthy
task we'll done. If after viewing this
picture the spectator is not filled with
loathing and repulsion for everything
Hohenzollern it is because the last
vestige of decency has dropped from
his makeup. The picture will be
shown at Keeney's theater, Monday
Tuesday and Wednesday.
Rupert Julian's representation OF
1.-The Beast" wallowing in the blood
Of Europe, his insane frenzy of joy
jumping with leaps and bounds at
the report Of each new atrocity COM
mitted at his dictate, is q high tribute
to this screen artists ability.
In making THE Kaiser, the Beast
of Berlin the producers have accom-
plished more than the production Of
8 photoplay, they have been of dis
tinct service to the government and
the allied cause. Through this tho
real danger confronting democratic
nations of the earth will be present
ed to the masses in such tangible
form as to defy contradiction.
Every incident Of the story is
founded on historical fact, the sub
titles constantly referring to these
with just enough of the dramatic
added to carry the story. 1t begins
with the Kaisers meeting with his
ministers and the declaration Of war.
Then follows incident after incident.
including the invasion of Belgium.
the tearing up of the treaty by the
