'Florence. Vipor? Louis Calhern. who Served wltB the One atid Forty-tSlrd Field Artillery in France and Who now working: in film productions, says: "I favor the importation rit Oeri man films, i would Suggest that the German official film showing th sinking of the Lusitania.

and score of other passenger ships, with close- ups of the struggles or drowning American women and children would make an excellent prologue, for th later importations. "The so-called 'American' import-era of German films might also bring over the German film showing the gas attacks made on American troops. The invalided soldiers now coughing out their lungs in California and Arizona hospitals from th after-ef-' fects of German gas would probably best appreciate these German pictures. "Here are a few other German film I would like to see shown in America again. The Serbian Skeleton showing the highway from Salonica to Belgrade with tens of thousands skeletons Serbian soldiers, women and children In the ditches alongside it; "Enemy Prison-, Ehowing tortured Canadian aol- diers nailed to barn doors, and 'A Lesson to France.

showing the black belt of death and devastation in Northern France. "The First Poison Gas Aattack at Tpres." showing suffocating Canadian prisoners being led to the German rear. 'Our Taubes." showing German planes bombarding English, American and French hospitals, n4 'Stubborn 'showing the burning of the library and the shooting of the Belgia cure and the leading citizens also would be good prologues or epilogues to current German pictures. Another excellent German film to import would be Our Longe Kang Showing the murder of a dozen expectant mothers and the killing of 90 worshippers in a Paris church, smuggled by a Swiss cinematogra-pher into Germany from France. The Peath of an English Spy.

showinE- the cold-blooded murder of Edith Cavell, and 'America's showing blinded American soldiers in German hrison camps at Villigen and i Kastatt, also would be splendid ments of German cinematographic I art to exhibit to American audiences."
