KAISER. PREDICTING BIG WAR, ~
WARNS CZAR AGAINST FRANCE
'WILLY-MCKY" LETTERS
REGARDED IN BERLIN OF
"GREAT HISTORIC VALUE"
Special CabIcgram to The Star and
Chicago Daily News, Copyright, 1o1O.

Special CabIegram to The Star and
Chicago Daily News, Copyright, 1870.
BERLIN. Germany. January l.
via Copenhagen, Denmark, January
2-The Vossische Zeitung. which
today began the publication of the
willy Nicky' letters brought
from Moscow by Isaac Don Levine,
says: The letters from Kaiser
Wilhelm to Gar Nicholas are
without doubt of great historic
value. They reveal, besides other
things, that the plan to brinG
about close understanding be-
tween Germany, Russia and France
as a defensive alliance not only
existed but very nearly became a
fact. The kaiser favored the plan,
but his writings to the cZar show
again and again that through his
lack of political foresight and his
inability to judge men and to see
the interests of his country this
sound plan became worthless
plaything. The plan that would
have meant so much to Germany
was never carried out, because the
kaiser underestimated the polti-
cal Importance of Japan, was alb
solutely in the dark as to Frances
political aims and distrusted all
foreign statesmen who were not
princes or emperorS.
1.-The letters are particularly in
teresting as they serve to illus
trate the kaiser's personality. His
character, as it appears from his
writings, is delineated more clear
1y and in greater detail than by
anything ever made public before.
His writings reveal his character
as curious mixture of llkable
frankness that sometimes became
a blind confidence in others. i'm
moderate self-confidence. mental
agility and tendency toward
childish playfulness. He was quick
in his judgments and sometimes.
by mere chance, hit the nail on
the head. Important things and
trif1es were hopelessly jumbled.
When the Russo Japanese war
started the kaiser did not forget
present of soldiers caps to the
czar." And how apodeictical was
the kaiser's advice to his cousin
Nicky during the first revolution!
But the pinnacle is undoubtedly
reached when the kaiser suggests
dramatic scene before the Rus
sian people: Troops. pictures of
saints and speeches from the bal
cony. Beginning with 1909 the
letters are less of a political ma
ture. The great chance had been
passed blythe inevitable was
rapidly approaching.

WELL BALANCED BILL
 AT LYRIC THEATRE

Variety is the keynote of the bill for the first half of the week at the Lyric, the five acts of Keith vaudeville be- ing varied enough to suit the most ex- acting and the Goldwyn picture fea- ture something entirely different AL together the programme is up to the high standard maintained at the Lyric, and the several numbers were given enthusiastic approval by the large audiences last night.
 A satirical comedy, Honor Thy Chill dren," is the headline attraction and deals with the efforts of a son and daughter to run a household without the assistance of the parent. The sit nations resultant therefrom are high ly amusing and the lines bright and clever.
 Another very pleasing number is the Revue De Luxe" a song and dance and laugh festival with six people, five girls and man in the cast. Catchy song hits graceful dancing and snappy comedy feature the act.
 Mabel sherman, billed as ''The Love Girl,- with Al Stevenson at the piano, rendered some effective song and musical selections, which were wei. received. Astor and his dummy. Me- Ginty' provided much entertainment and amusement with highly divert ing dialogue, and Carl Emmy and his trained pets came in for good share of applause.
 The Goldwyn feature picture, Eyes of Truth" starring Lady Tsen Mei. is one of the most interesting stories ever screened, and the star is given broad field for her remarkable dramatic tal- ent.

ALL STAR BILL AT LOEW'S BIJOU

With the added attraction of Miss June Caprice. who appears in person at each performance. the bill for the first half of the week at Loew's Bijou is unusually attractive. The vaudeville acts are high class and the feature picture, "A Damsel in Distress" in which Miss Caprice plays the princi- pal role, is one of the most delightful com edies ever screened.
 Among the big numbers is the of fering of Leon Stanton and company, who present a very clever one-act playlet, Money and Matrimony." Stan ton plays the part of a Civil war vet eran and injects much quaint humor in the playlet and is ably assisted by the others of the company.
 An act that is entirely different and out of the ordinary is that of Brew ster." highly trained little bulldog, who displays almost human intelli- gence in performing a number of nov city tricks. His trainer merely tells

ANITA STEWART
 AT THE TRIANON

Anita stewart, in "The Fighting Shep- herdess,s is the weeks attraction at the Trianon theatre. Miss Stewart has dis carded the art of pretty clothes and has made of herself a regular and very real actress. In ''The Fighting Shepherdess' she takes the role of Kate Prentice, daughter of "Old Jazabel" who runs a road house in Proudly, a little Wyoming town. Kate finds out the nature of the house her mother is running, when a half-breed tries to kiss her She is saved from such fate by an old sheep herder hated in Proudly because he is a "sheep man" Norman Joe is the name of her benefactor who takes the girl to his ranch and tries to uplift her.
 A party of customers, out west for the summer, happen to be in Proudly when Kate is there, and one of the boy $ asks her to go to the town dance with him. She goes to the dance and is summed by the townspeople. The boy, when he brings her home, tells her he loves her and will return for her as soon as he finishes college. Norman Joe is killed, and because Kate and he had disagreed about the meaning of the east ern boys attentions to her, she is sus- pected of murdering him. How she clears herself, and wins the respect of the townspeople. and the real love of the boy, make a very interesting picture. un- like great many pictures. in that the story that runs through it seems true and entirely reasonable.

 whole show,' so far as comedy is con cerned but that is no reflection on the members of his company however, for 1t contains some unusually clever people singers and dancers-whose ability has made them favorites in the east.
 Rosita Mantella, Christine, Zella Ram beau and Leona Slater lend their beauty and talents to a satisfying performance, one in which there is life, color and mu- sic. Miss Rambeau makes a fetching boy and sings delightfully."-. Miss Mantella and Christine are no ordinary dancers and Miss Slater is dashing Mrs. Trot- ter, ambitious to go into the movies, who thinks Skinner is offering her a movie contract when that business-like person is merely trying to sell her life insurance. George Leon Moore, the mat ador, sang and acted we'll Harry Hoy land played Pussyfoot Trotter and Teck Murdock and Harry O'Brien showed skill as eccentric dancers in the characters of two comic detectives. Walter McCul-
 tough, Charles Mcdonald and Robert A. Bennett completed the cast of princi- pals.
 The dance numbers of Christine, Miss Mantella and Teck Murd ock, who has extraordinary command og his long legs, were noteworthy features of the perform ance. There is, besides, a long list of songs. beautifully staged and ranging from one of MT. Carle's nonsensical songs to a tuneful bit of light opera. The Spanish setting of Sunshine" affords plenty of opportunities for rich costumes and striking scenic effects. MT. Carle and his company win play at the Jefferson tonight, tomorrow after noon and tomorrow night.
