FAMOUS PHOTOPLAY
AT PLAYHOUSE
Four Performances Daily This
Week

At the Playhouse, Wilmington,
Delaware, this entire week the Re-
nowned Pictures Corporation pre-
sent Rupert Julian's merciless
photo drama expose, entitled "The
Kaiser, the Beast of Berlin" 1t is
not a war picture, but an amazing
expose of the intimate life of the
Mad Dog Of Europe. This picture
is now running at the Broadway
Theatre, New York City, where it
opened week ago last Monday
night and from present indications
its New York engagement seems
destined to be of long duration.
The picture not only entertains
from a most satisfactory stand
point but it arouses patriotism and
has an appeal to every red-blooded
American. 1t stirs every emotion
The audience is given to frequent
applause, kissing, cheering and
occasionally a tear is dropped. II

The sick of this neighborhood, OF

Master Donald Armstrong, who
has been suffering with pneumonia
for sometime, was taken to the
Mary Drexel Hospital, Philadel-

undergo an operation for the pur-
pose of draining his lungs.

with artifcially constructed situa-
tions arranged just for the pur-
pose of enthusing spectators, but
it is a reproduction of actual
scenes and incidents recorded in
history, which have occurred since
the outbreak of the war in 1914.
Every one who sees the picture is
sure to go away from the theatre
with a more devout determination
to lend greater assistance to this
government in measures that will
contribute toward the success OF
our American arms. There is a
little interesting story which
serves to connect one scene to
another and which is a most prob
able one and this adds to the en-
joyment of all those who witness
the picture.
It was written by Elliott J. Claw
son and Rupert Julian, and pro-
duced under the direction of Mr.
Julian himself, who impersonates
"The Kaiser" The reproductions
of the Imperial palace are said tt
be exact. All together the picture
is intended to arouse patriotism

dollars it did cost just enough tt

that although the wind blew from

warehouse is over 200 feet to the
southeast of the Brown livery
barn, but fire was discovered
inside the warehouse, and in ad-
dltlon the Wrenchcs to turn on
the water from city hydrants were
missing and not in the company

ening the local fire company va
.cancies were filled, two addition
al members elested, and T. M. Adj
ans was elected chief, Geo. Har-
vey and Roy Adams, assistant
chiefs. 1t is the plan of the COM
pany to put on a siren whistle,
better equip the fire truck, and
purchase 500 feet of hose to take
the place of hose damaged in the
fire Sunday.
The state fire marshal, Sheriff

that destroyed two barns and set
on; fire the third barn 600 feet
