AT the personal request of Secretary McAdoo and with the hearty consent of Carl Laemmle. president of Universal, Mae Murray laid aside, for the time being, her own productions to make a featurette to assist the government in making the forthcoming Liberty Loan Drive the most successful of any of the four. Under the direction of Robert Leonard, who has produced all Special Attractions at Universal City, the featurette has just be completed and entitled "The Taming of Kaiser Hull." In the featurette Miss Murray plays the role of a cowboj and as such represents Uncle Sam. She is dressed in proverbial chaps, with wide sombrero, high boots ami spurs, with a wicked forty-five dangling jauntily from her right hip. To complete the picture, a little package of Roll Your Own protrudes with its tell-tale tag from the shirt pocket. "Roll your own," says Miss Murray, "and you will have more money to invest in Liberty Bonds and Thrift Stamps." but just the same, the Roll Your Own package is full of fac< powder, and an ivory pocket mirror and powder pull are in the left chap pocket. Harry Carey. Universal': cowboy exponent, took great pains with Miss Murray's make-up and costumes for this feature. "The Taming of Kaiser Bull" opens with the Kaiser, a inktaken by a gigantic long-horned Arizona steer, cornering Democracy in the corral. Miss Murray, in the role <>t' Uncle Sam, fires a bullet from a gun labeled First Libert) Loan. This only stirs the bull to greater fury. Miss Murray hurls a large rock labeled Second Liberty Loan. In rage he charges on Democracy, while Miss Murray endeavors to beating him off. Drawing her lariat is the Third Liberty I. "an. She throws it over the bull, which drags Mis Murray up and down the range. Pershing's Riders from the Rancho U. S. A. across the pond see her plight and rush to her rescue, and after a general mix-up they throw the bull. Miss Murray then brands him on the flank with the "Fourth Liberty Loan." The picture ends with a close-up of Miss Murray raising her gun in the camera and saying, "Dig deep and come across for the Fourth Liberty Loan." Commemorates Fngland's Entry in War Strand Theatre Exhibits Group of Pictures Illustrative of British Efforts for Cause of Freedom. A GROUP of pictures exhibited at the Strand during the week of August 4 is of great interest and significance. It is entitled "Four Year for Freedom" and was shown in commemoration of England's entry into the war. Another point of interest in connection with these pictures is that they were compiled by Charles Urban, and include by way of introductions some of the naval scenes exhibited by him formerly in that first splendid group shown a couple of years or so ago revealing England's quickly and systematically prepared defense against Hun barbarism. "Four Years for Freedom" includes scenes illustrative of the capture of Bagdad showing the East Indian soldiers crossing the Tigris river on a pontoon bridge and later passing through the streets of Bagdad. General Allenby's entry into Jerusalem is of unusual interest and shows the meeting of the commander-in-chief at the Jaffa gate, the passage of the troops through the streets, the introduction of the dignitaries of the citj to General Allenby and staff, and the reading of the proclamation of freedom. A part of the British aerial fleet in action is shown and also stirnn scene with the Canadians at the memorable battle of Vimy Ridge. One of the most thrilling sights of the pictures shows a charge of British tanks World's Minneapolis Man Joins Army Jo'p LeRoy John-ton, tor over two \ears correspondent for tlie M \ ng Picture World m Minneapolis and St. Paul, ha been led for service m the National Army, and will likely he in camp by the time this issue I off the press.
