Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) To Hell with the Kaiser, the 1918 George Irving silent World War I (WWI) anti-German melodrama ("A thrilling indictment of Germany's war lord in seven parts"; "Scenario by June Mathis"; "Produced under the person supervision of Maxwell Karger") starring Lawrence Grant (in the title role as The Kaiser/Robert Graubel), Olive Tell, Betty Howe, John Sunderland, Earl Schenck, Karl Dane, and Walter P. Lewis (as Satan). Note that World War I began in 1914, but the U.S. did not enter the war until April 1917. There are many theories on why this was, some of them very cynical about the U.S. wanting to continue to supply both sides. President Wilson was able to "overlook" many incidents, including the sinking of the Lusitania by the Germans, during which many Americans lost their lives, but finally, the U.S. DID enter the war in April 1917, and immediately, Hollywood made a series of anti-German movies, specifically focused on Kaiser Wilhelm, portraying him as pure evil, and this is one of those movies! In this one, when the Kaiser is finally captured, he commits suicide and goes to hell, where Satan abdicates his thrown because the Kaiser is far worse than him. Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
