FAMOUS CAVELL CASE
SHOWN ON SCREEN
AT EMPRESS TONIGHT
Out of the blood-stained records of
crime committed by the Prussian
hordes, the case of the British Red
Cross nurse, Edith Cavell, accused of
aiding wounded soldiers to escape
from Belgium, convicted and shot,
stands out in the memory of every
true American today.
The Pathe News Sunday night
showed scenes of the unveiling in
London of the statue erected to the
memory of this wonderful woman.
The remarkable picture revealing her
life, with a beautiful story of love
and romance woven in, played by the
famous actress Julia Arthur, is repeat
ed at the Empress tonight for the last
time. It is a picture that every man,
woman and child should see.
Edith Cavell was led out in the dawn
of a gray morning and shot within
fifteen minutes of her notification of
the “findings” of the “court martial”
that tried her. A new army rose up
in England that same day, and the
bullet that slew Edith Cavell killed
hope of a Prussian victory.
Tomorrow night, Enid Bennett, as
ra dainty little French girl in “The
Mother Instinct.”
