THE KITCHENER FILM.
PLOT SHOWS BETRAYAL. AUDIENCE INDIGNANT. By Telegraph.—Press Assn—Copyright. Received Nov. 16, 5.5 p.m. London, Nov. 15. There were sensational incidents at a London theatre, when the Kitchener film was produced privately. The play attempts to show that Lord Kitchener was betrayed by a. young British staff officer, who was in love with a German widow of another British officer killed in the war. The woman supposedly induced him to disclose the date and the hour of Kitchener’s departure from England. Miss rose in indignation, and said: “I protest against a British officer being shown as succumbing to a spy. Politicians may betray their country, but not a British officer.” Mr. G. M. MacDonagh rose up in another part of the theatre and similarly protested. Also a member of the House of Commons, who is an ex-officer. The audience received the play indignantly, and the film is being drastically amended. *—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
