WAR'S NEW DEVICE, THE WIRE BARRIER, IN WORLD'S FILMS Electric Entanglements Are Shown With All Their Deadly Powers. J How frequently the barbed wire en- tanglements are referred to in the war despatches. But who can conceive what those entanglements are like? One person imagines they must be something like cattle fences, Another thinks they are just a series of Lines of wire, ‘They used to be something like that, But they are nothing iike it to-day The despatches tell of these wires being highly charged with electricity, Soldiers were supplied with iusulated uippera to cut a way through, The Kaiser's private war auto, to cut Its way, had great scythe-like knives curving from front wheels to roof. Some of the scenes in “Fighting in France,” the official French Govern- ment motion pictures being exhibited under the auspices of The World, show these new entanglements, They have to be seon to be realized. A cat could not get through, No cutting would short clreult the electric cur- rent, In fact, as the soldier with the nippers cuts one wire others would fall upon and electrocute him. One glance at the offictal picturss, which are on continuous exhibition to- |day at both the For.y-fourth Street | Theatre and the Fulton Theutre, ex- | plains why it is that the wire entan glements of to-day have to be blown to pieces with high explosives, be- cause there is no other way of getting through them. It algo explains why bodies once entangled cannot be res- cued, but have to be left hanging in the wires. How these wires are got into posi- tion is one of the mysteries of the war, Only by seeing them in the pic- tures taken for the National Archives of France and loaned by the Freni Government to The World through FP, Alexander Powell, its war cor. respondent, can the nature of this gi- | wantie task be understood, Besides the continuous daily exhibi- tion at the Fourty-fourth Street and Fulton Theatres, these pictures may also be seen to-day and to-morrow at |these three Keith houses—the Colo- nial, Broadway and Sixty-second Street; the Alhambra, at Seventh Avenue and One Hundred and Twen- ty-fifth Street, and the Orpheum, on Fulton Street, near Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, afternoon and evening, NING WORLD E STARS TO BE SEEN IN METROPOLITAN THEATRE 184-0.664-64.% may oF i, pamany Be goes 7 ED Geoos % Penix TON THEATRE % ooo Plays for the Coming Week HE first of four new productions scheduled for next week 1s a musical play by Rudolph Frimi and Otto Hauerbach, that Arthur Hammerstein will pre- sent at the Forty-fourth Street Theatre on Thursday night.
