And now with frothing hate the crazed monarch promisey ! America the same inhuman treatment accorded Belgium if he is successful in beating down the defense of the Allies of the Western front. These truths are so forcefully presented in “The Kaiser, the Beast of Berlin™ that the spectator cannot help but feel a renewed determination to win | the war at all costs, if only to pro- tect our own women and childrens from the lustful horrors of the Ger- man hordes. The picture is at Keeney’s theater. While serving as the best sort of American propaganda the production is a dramatic story that holds the au- dience in awe and resentment against this maniac war-lord and again tre- mendous storms of applause when America’s part in the war is shown,, During the invasion of Beigium the intréquces a giant blacksmith whose phenomenal strength is a mar- vel of wonderment to the spectators. In his effort to save his son who has thrown a horseshoe at a German of- ficer, he is set upon by eight sturay Huns and emerges the victor to be éhot in the back by another Hun of. ficer and left for dead. The little boy is caught by the officer and his arm cut off “as an example to others who might seek to resist the Kaiser.” Later, however, the officer who shot he blacksmith and maimed his son, caught in a house by the frenzied smithy and strangled to death, after- ! ward being thrown into the flames otl o a burning building. And are these scenes too shocking the spectators? No! 'The au- diences are so aroused by the terrible excesses of the Huns that they ery for further vengeance, so that when the end comes and the Kaiser is shown a captive in Berlin, to be turned over to control their joy and express fervent King Albert of Belgium and incar- [ | cerated in a prison at Louvain, the ¥ audiences find it utterly impossible to hopes that the end will be nothing less than this.
