It is A j drama of the war. but. choses rather ; the spy system of the Imperial German government, as its central theme. The I man from whom the information was ! gained that made possible the filming j of this gigantic spectacle, was Capt. ' Horst von der 'Joltz. self confessed i I German spy, whose service as a secret I agent for the kaiser covered a period of i ten years. He was the man who en- ; j gineered the enterprise of the attempt ' at destroying the AVelland canal in , i Canada This was the man who faced j ! death as a spy in the Tower of Lon- I J don, but whose life was spared on ae i count of the efforts of the United . Stales that he might come to this coun i try and give the information which , I meant so much in the combatting of j 1 the sinister menace of the dastardly I ' spy system. ' The picture was staged at a great j j expense, and is complete in every de I tail. "The Prussian Cur," goes back i through the years following from its j ; very inception the German schema of courpiest. It shows with vivid realism i the barbarous German outrages which i I pro-German serpent which crawls in to their midst to poison and destroy; it shows President Wilson addressing congress; it pictures strikes, train wrecks, and historic scenes at the im perial German palace. It shows Amer ica's fleets at sea the boys in camp and on the way to the battle front. l-iistotical archives were ransacked for I details; secret records were examined thigh officials were interviewed; for- tunes were spent in collecting data j and building the imposing sets de ! manded by this production. "The : Prussian Cur" sums up- in swift, I thrilling and inspiring scenes, 'the i whole history of an epoch. It is bound to appeal strongly to every red-blooded which comes i American, and should prove one of the and tomorrow I ' "The Better Half," Alice Brady's latest film success, will be the feature offer'ng at the Columbia theater Thursday. Friday and Saturday. It is a story of twin sisters, adapted for j the screen by Louise Shermin frooi I Miriam Miohelson's novel, "Michael ! Thwaite's Wife." Alice Brady is seen as both Louise i and Trixie, twin sisters who are as ; different below the surface as it is S possible for sisters to be. Michael Thwaite, a cousin by adoption, goes ! away to become a physician, and upon i ins graduation marries Trixie, although in early life Trixie had hated him while her sister Louise loved him. After the wedding Louise enters a hospital to become a nurse, while Trixie continues her butterfly ways. Finally Hendrick Thurston, a social libertine and idler, lures Trixie to his rooms for a late supper. Michael learns of her caprice and attempts to scold his wife. But Trixie packs her bags and hurries to the hospital to tell Louise that she is going away with Thurston. After talking the matter over, Louise begs her not to go and Trixie prom ises to return to Michael in the morn ing. Following events find Michael a patient in the same hospital where Louise is working while Trixie has gone to Europe with Thurston. An operation is necessary in order to bring back Michael's sight, and through the dark days that follow Louise takes the place of Trixie, although Michael thinks it is Trixie who is nursing him. At last Trixie tires of Thurston and comes back, but when she learns that Louise loves Michael she kills her self. A Gaumont Graphic and a Strand comedy will be the augmenting features for Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Even the humble safety razor is no; sale from the a' tacks of the author of the Gecrec Wa'.-ii rtories. and the one at the LsiRara wi'.ich star!., today au.i continues through tomorrow and Tues day, brings to this screen the "boy with tb.e big smile" in a comedy drama built around the s-ifety iaxor industry. This one i- called -Help. Help, Police." Many a close have is the result of the hair-raising' exploits of the beard less youth as portrayed by George Walsh in this thriller, which has been recorded as absolutely the best picture lie has ever made, not even excluding his famous "Pride of Xe',v York." According to the stoiy. the father ni' :i is young Made is a manufacturer of a patcnu-d whisker de:;lroyer device. The bo 's sweetheart is the daughter o'. a rival engaged in the same line of pursuit. The two-edged whisker kill ingexreutive are both after the plan; o; a third concern, just big enough to he in the way. ."o. :h.! . pops onto the scr in a cut-up who iKufs as a banker from tile west, but whose real occupation seems to have been giving the society resorts the once over, for the purpose of scraping off their valuables. He becomes acquainted with the girl, and the young blade becomes keen for a sharp battle with the cut-up. The old blades have made an offer to t'ae third concern, and the third concern has sent a representative to the summer resort to put the deal aoj"Oss. The cut up. being in need of funds, thinks to bridge the gap between the arrival cf the representative whom he means to rob. by quietly annexing the personal pioperty of every guest he could man age. The young blade watches him enter the apartment of his fiance, fol lows him, and the house detective fol lows the hero. The hero chases of? the cut-up. but is arrested for the thief when the house man breaks into the apartment. Explanations free the heio, but the wits of the cut-up are when I lor furt'aer escapades which carry hi fit into another apartment. Again tip! h. ro follows, and again the cut-tH) n,akes good his get-away, but before Ic roes he drops a match into the waste basket and a fire starts. The hero pick ;i the sleeping girl, carries her out o' the building, places her into an anti-mobile, and madly rushes for help, but when the girl comes to. failing to realize wl at has happened, charges th" hero with abduction, and again he is :n the toils of the law, and incident ally the crimes charged against him this time crowd the calendar of th court to the utmost capacity. Given li s liberty on the promise to unrawl certain unexplained things, the younjr blade starts on a line of adventure which bring the greatest of all thrills to the screen. These include the mad dash of an auto through an open spacv to a rapidly rising jack knife bridgr. holding It there until the bridge closes again: the jump from a water tow-.r t-f a speeding train: the jump from ; the t-a'n to a scmpaphore bridge, and a ! terrific battle in a deserted house with ia sineie man pitted against five ad versaries.
