I SHERRY'S
In spite of the expectations that
we hud of the new William Fox
production, "For Liberty," that was
shown .yesterday tor tlw first 'time
al' Sherry theatre, , the actual' view
ing of the film was a delightful
surprise. . .-.,
This new picture has a wonder
ful story to tell, and it is set. In
) surroundings that are bound to be
j of utmost Interest to every Ameri
can. Amerleuns believe they had
some Idea of what was going on In
Berlin at the time that war was do
elnred by the United States, hut
"For Liberty" shows that our
knowledge was of the most limited
sort, and that we had no real In
sight Into the Intrigues, and diffi
culties, and tragedies that were oc
curring. ,
However, "For Liberty." II must
be understood. Is rirst and foremost
a story of the life of an American
woman of (lie highest Instincts, who
Is true to her country and to her
affections. The working out or a
romance in the mldtit of the at
mosphere that existed In Germany
when America wont into the war,
was certainly a hazardous thing,
but tho lending figure In "For Li
berty," shows that wllh the heart
true It Ib possible to keep the
head dual'.
Gladys Brockwell. who is Ihc
star of this brilliant play, does her
very best work in it. All that
she has done previously only gives
a forecast of the ability whirl) sin
shows in this new drama.
Miss llrocUwell Is well support
ed In her difficult work by un ex
cellent east. The play Is beauti
fully presented, and shows many
thrilling and new scenes. In which
the war element plays
a large part

' TTpon enlistment we had Identity

disks of red fiber worn nrotind the neck
by means of a string. Most of the Tom

In an angry tone, he commanded,

one morning we were Informed that
we were going up the line, and our
march began. . .
It took us three days Jo reach re
serve blllels each day's march bring
ing the sound of the guns nearer and
nearer. At night, way off In the dis
tance we could see their flnshes, which
lighten up the sky with a red glare.
Against thj horizon we could see
numerous observation balloons or "suu
sages" ns they are called.
On the afternoon of the third day's
march I witnessed my first nlrplano
being shelled. A thrill ran through me
and I gn.eil In uwe. The nlrpluno was
milking wide circles In the ulr, while
Utile puffs of white smoke were burst
ing all around It, These puffs appeared
like tiny balls' of col ton while after
each hurst could be heard "n dull
"plop." The sergeant of my platoon
Informed us thut it was a German air
plane and I wondered how he could tell
ram such il distance because the plane
sceuieu iikv a little mack speck in the
sky. I expressed my doubt as to
whether It was English, French or Ger
man. With d look of contempt he fur- j
tln-r Informed us that the allied anti
aircraft shells' when exploding emitted
while smoke while the Gorman shells
gnve forth block smoke, and, as he ex
pressed It, "It must he un Allcninnd be

of black earth and smoke rose Into the
air, nnd the ground trembled from the

whistle hlnsl, In-.-.ncdIntely followed by
two short ones, rang out from the head
of our column. This was to lake up

I Noxf evening, we took over our sei-

ed our wny through, n zigzag com-
munlcallon trench, six Inches deep ;
Willi mud. This trench was called
"Whisky street." On our way up to
the front line an occasional flnro of
bursting shrapnel would light up the 1
sky and we could hear the fragments
slapping the ground above us on our '
right and left. Then a FrlD! would j
traverse buck and forth wllh his "tvpe- i

inii'le a sharp cracking noise overhead.
