836 MOTOGRAPHY Vol. XIX, No. 18. vvyn) — "This cost less but was liked much better than Thais.

Jewel The Kaiser, the Beast of Berlin, with Rupert Julian (Jewel)'"— "The most timely war picture of today. This shows just what the American people have in mind for the kaiser. It is positively the greatest picture pertaining to the war I have run so far. I believe it will go further toward waking up dormant America than any picture we have had yet. Carl Laemmle certainly made a strike in giving Rupert Julian this role. He is perfect in every detail. The play certainly arouses patriotism for it shows the Beast of Berlin as he is and it puts before the people the big question, 'What are you going to do to help your country ?' During the two weeks this ran at the Rose theatre, we heard many remarks from young men saying that they intended to enlist that very day. The government ought to urge every citizen to see this play. Thanks are certainly due to Carl Laemmle and Rupert Julian. From the boxoffice angle, this play gave the Rose the second best week of business in its history." — Harry Miller, Rose Theatre, Chicago. — Dozvntown house.
