MY FOUR YEARS IN GERMANY

Prussian militarism sanctifed by
'coat-tail" diplomacy and vindi-
Gated by brutal excuses, contribute
the kernel of the perturbation of
former Ambassador Gerard's book.
My Four Years in Germany" which
will be shown at the oliver theater
all this week, starting tomorrow aft
ernOOn. The picture is one o. the
most realistic and striking wa films
ever produced. The text for Mr..
Gerard's recital, which is also ap-
prOpriated in the picture, was taken
from the instructions of the father
tors of young Frederick NO honor
can come 10 a prince except by the
sword" This is the basic principle
of that German kultur which has
run wild in Europe and which is di-
rectly the cause of the war. The
picture creates a German setting for
the drama which starts with the
intrigue preceding the invasion of
Belgium and ended in the embrOil-
ing of this country and the recall of
the American ambassador. All of
the outstanding details, or enough
of them TO make the story clear. are
given. There is the council table
around which are gathered such
we'll known characters as Beth
mann Won Hollweg, Won Tirpitz, the
degenerate crown prince and lastly.
but most important of all. the kaiser
himself. Actual occurrences, such
as the raid on the American en-
bassy, the assault by an army Off
Ger upon a German beggar. and a
crisis in the reichstag when the
socialists were won over by a DELHI
crate misrepresentation of the actual
situation in the empire and in Bel
GUM, are graphically portrayed
Battle scenes taken apparently in
the field are given to embellish the
narrative.

AT THE CASTLE

Nell Shipman and Alfred Whit
man are the Castles co-stars today
in a Vitagraph Blue Ribbon feature
OF unusual strength. IL is entitled
"Cavanaugh of the Forest Rangers"
and was adapted from the widely
read novel by Hamlin Garland. 1t
is a rugged romance Of the western
plains in the troublesome days of
the cattle rustlers, and worthy of
special mention are the scenes in
the big pine country, where the &C
ton of the piece takes place. Those
who like a good fight, a woman
plucky and pretty who fights for the
life of the man she loves, all staged
amid natures most gorgeous
scenery, will find this picture TO
their liking. How Ross Cavanaugh,
one OF Uncle Sans young and fear
less forest rangers rounds up an un-
scrupulOus band OF cattle thiey IS,
forms the basis for a most thrilling
story.
Admirers OF FRANKLIN Farnum,

depreciation OF the principal role in
Mondays Castle picture. Fast Com
pany." The story. which is in five
reels. has Irish pep" aplenty in
jected into the. plot. Mr.. F'arnum's
role is that of a youth raised as a
snob OF high degree, much TO his
own disgust. His father is proud
of their supposed Dutch ancestry.
but it later develops much to the
sons delight, that his beloved an
cestor was really an Irishman aed
pirate at that. This utterly
changes life for the hero and the
enforced snObbery takes a turn.
Altogether the subject is an excel
lent one of the light, humorous type.
THE Eagles Eye" is also on the bill.
The story of the French revolu-
ton is told in the seven-part picture
shown at the Castle two days start
ing Wednesday and entitled The
Birth of Democracy Acted by a
splendid cast headed by the eminent
Italian actress LYDIA Borelli and with
subject which has a particular ap-
peal at this time when the present
war is for world democracy, the at
traction should prove unusually en-
tertaining and of interest to old and
young alike. The stirring days of
that period are realistically pictured
and from still another angle history
repeats itself. The upheavals in
Russia originated in apparently un-
important love intrigues, just as the
loves of Nine. FOntani altered the
political complexion of France at
that time. A. any time an interest
ing historical romance, this story is
now made doubly entertaining
through the close duplication of
events in the present war. The final
| episode Of The Neglected Wife" is
also included on Wednesdays pro-
gram.
