"Mothers of France," a French " propaganda film starring Sarah U U Bernhardt, had been circulating in the United States in 1917 when we entered World War I, but it was nearly a year later before our entry into the war was reflected in our films. The country became flooded with such propaganda films as "To Hell With The Kaiser," "The Kaiser's Finish," "Lafayette, We Come," "The Woman The Germans Shot" (later changed to "The Cavell Case"), "The Beast of Berlin," and a parody of it called "The Geezer of Berlin." Germany was our enemy. Margarita Fischer dropped the "c" from her name, Alfred Vosburgh changed his to Alfred Whitman, and Norman Kaiser became Norman Kerry. The U. S. Government also made propaganda pictures. The Treasury Department asked the stars to help sell Liberty Loans. Such major screen personalities as Pickford, Hart and Fairbanks became active salesmen for Uncle Sam. Clara Kimball Young and Pearl White gave their time for recruiting purposes. Film actors who had "joined up" included Bobert Warwick, Bert Lytell, Tom Forman, Bichard Travers, S. Bankin Drew, Kenneth Harlan, Norman Kerry, Earle Metcalf, Bex Ingram and others. D. W. Griffith went abroad during the war and in France filmed "Hearts of the World," a tale of a village behind the lines. While the industry was contributing patriotism and propaganda, it was also providing the populace with entertainment. Metro proudly announced it had signed "The Great Nazimova." Edith Storey, the Dolly Sisters, and Bert Lvtell became Metro stars.
