The Kaiser, the Beast of Berlin The Kaiser, the Beast of Berlin The Kaiser, the Beast of Berlin (also known as The Beast of Berlin and The Kaiser) was a 1918 American silent war propaganda melodrama film written by, directed by, and starring Rupert Julian. The film's supporting cast included Elmo Lincoln, Nigel De Brulier, and Lon Chaney.

The film is now considered lost. Kaiser Wilhelm
