Opening with "A Mixed Affair" and
closing with The Aviators," Clarks

THE ACADEMY.
I'm Panama"


With the same lines, a few more songs,
and the same lavish stage settings that
were so much in evidence when the
Rogers Brothers played here two years
ago, In Panama" returned 10 Wash
ington last night and was greeted al the
Academy by a capacity audience. which
testified by its laughter and continuous
applause 10 the manner in which II ap-
preciated the humor OF the piece and the
work Of the principals and chorus.
In bringing In Panama" 70 the Acad-
envy. the management OF this theater has
again demonstrated that the policy OF
the playhouse this winter is to get away.
as much as possible, from the melodra-
matte productions that have been fea-
tured there in the past. and il has Sc
cured in this production a play that Is
full Of humor. catchy songs. beautiful
stage pictures, and alluring girls.
The plot Of the piece does not matter
when the Rogers Brothers played IL
people went 20 see Il In order 10 see
them. and did not care about the plot
so suffice Il 70 say that II concerns the
fortunes OF A. Gustave Windt and Hugo
Kisser, two German soldiers OF misfor-
tune, cast away in Panama and looking
for the mysterious Island OF Gold. "
The roles OF Windt and Kisser fall 20 the
part OF the Klein brothers who extract
as much humor from the lines. the syn
copated dialect. and the situations as
did the Rogers brothers-and that Is
praise indeed OF course their methods
resemble those Of their predecessors. but
that is to be expected. and no fault can
be found with their "face-to-face-nose-
to-nose" conversations in the true Rogers
style
Miss Sybil Brennan has the part of
Rose Grey, and her songs. Way Down

Love You When You Smile, Smile,

as were also the original parodies OF the
Klein brothers and MY Cigarette" sung
by Dorothy Dunn. who has Avita
Sanchez's old role Of Pequita.
The chorus Is large, well dressed, and
well trained. the stage settings excellent.
and the impression left by the entire
performance was one OF complete sat

tenstrlke In securing this attraction, and
capacity houses will TO doubt be the rule
for the remainder Of the week.

GERMANY's PLAN
Commercial Conquest of Palestine Is
Under Way

London, Aug. 19-Tne ,iermaniza-
ton of Palestine is proceeding rapid
ly. In the early f1fties of the nine
teenth century body of Germans
calling themselves templars. left their
native land for Palestine. These early
pilgrims were we'll supplied with mon
ey. Each of them bought land and
built a house for himself.
In less than three years colony
OF 200 we'll built houses of European
style stood on the slopes of Mount
Carmel. Little by little from this CEN
ter the German colonists branched out
to Jaffa, Jerusalem and other places.
Recruits came freely from the father
land.
In thirty years the German pro-
priotors could he counted by the thou
sands. With Teutonic tenacity of pur-
pose they worked to open up a mar
iset for manufactures and find an out
let for all kinds Of articles of Ger
man production. Every inducement
possible, cheap prices and long cred
it courted the patronage of merchants.
Commercial Men Follow
Commercial travellers followed close
~ after one another. Some of them
remained at Haifa, Jaffa and Jerusa-
lem as commission agents. They Of
fered their wares at low prices and
were willing to wait long time for
payment. Thus they became power
full and popular.
When the ground had been thus
prepared. the Emperor Frederick Wis
tied the country. an event which
greatly heightened German prestige in
Turkey. When the present kaiser as
cended the throne he prosecuted his
fathers policy with far greater vigor.
The friendship between Wilhelm II
and his "cher ct tres grand ami"
Abdul Hamid, made the position of the
Germans in Palestine stronger than
ever. After the VISIT of the kaiser and
kaiserin to Jerusalem in 1898 there
was another increase of German in
f1uence. Germans acquired immense
tracts of land in all parts of the
country. The recent visit of the
Prince and Princess Eitel Friedrich
has kept the German influence strong.
Consul the Great Man
The German consul today is the
great man in Palestine. Germans ave
still flocking to the country on every
side. Most of them remain. If they
have the money. they buy property at
once and cultivate 1t and build houses.
If they are poor they are financed by
the Templar bank, which is subsidized
by powerful political syndicates.
This German immigration is careful
ly planned and cleverly organized by
influential syndicates composed of
great financiers. princes. manufacture
ers and military officers. The kaiser
himself is said to preside over the
meetings of the principal of these
syndicates. The conquest of Palestine
seems to have been begun.
