THE GERMAN CURSE IN RUSSIA

The German Curse In Russia is
a completely interesting film in which
no one reel is deserving of more at
tention than another. Ely theatre
Wednesday.
Pathe's current release of the pic
lures photographed in Russia under
almost inconceiyable danger and at
a great risk Of life by Donald Thomp7
son. shows photographieally and eff
fectiyely the result of the long arm
of the devilish propaganda of the
German government in that country.
The five reels are wide in scope and
include scenes in Petrograd before
and after the several uprisings and
the activities of the Russian troops
on the various fronts. What the
Germans did In promoting the over
throw of the forms of government
until the present rule of the Bolshe-
Wiki Is explained in concise subtitles
and the scenes picture what came
after the spread of the lying propa-
ganda, in which the gullible Russians
we're misled at every turn.
The scenes on the battlefield are
very interesting and often gruesome,
as Mr.. Thompson has not spared the
spectator in showing the horrors of
modern warfare. Before our eyes we
see men drop, shot, torn to bits by
shrapnel or gassed. Several of the
reels are closeup views of the men
going over the top of their trenches
which seem to be but a few yards
from those of the enemy. In view
ing these scenes, seeing the slaughter
of this brave part of the Russian
army, who up to that time had re-
fused to be Influenced by the German
propaganda and were still fighting
for their country, there springs up in
the heart OF the spectator a bitter
hatred for the Huns.
Among the many interesting reels
Is one that Is said to be the first
motion picture of a warship actually
hitting a submarine that tried TO
torpedo her. The destruction of

Turkish shipping provides another
thrilling moment. The training of

subsequently their entry into actual
battle Is still another interesting part
of the picture.
