Speaking Of his trip. Mr. Klaw said.
MIR. Frohman and ourselves have long
ago appreciated the Importance and
profit in this great northwest territory,
but In obedience 60 a policy mapped out
by us many years ago. whenever thea
tiers were offered us at any point or
section where we represented other
persons we invariably turned over the
letters and applications to the parties
whom we represented. In that way We
enriched and built up several men In
that territory by ending To them the
biggest money paying attractions in
the MNtl0a sumo OA Allf~F lNtliNA lfA-
lows began TO believe that they drew
the money instead OF Maudc Adams,
John Drew, Ben Hur,' THE Round up''
Billie Burke and the many other at
fractions that filed their playhouses.
They were not nearly as wise as the
average RAILROAD man who knows that
when his freight cars stand empty on
siding he cannot make any money;
that he must have the precious freight
to make them pay; and a manager
with theaters without good attractions
Is Just as helpless as railroad with
empty freight cars.
When few OF these little theatrical
'tAilors OF Tooley street got together
and decided that they would dictate the
terms and conditions under which at
fractions should plaV IN their theaters
the stars and attractions promptly de-
clined Now that Is whore the dcluded
manager got fooled. These attractions
could be moved 20 other parts 81 the
country. But alas! since these great
northwestern cities have emerged from
the swaddling clothes Of mining camp
the playhouses could not be log rolled

GERMANS GETTING RICH.

That tho Germans have been getting
rich more or less quickly is obvious
from the throngs OF monoy-spending
tourists OF that nationality seen every
where In Europe. Fifteen years ago
the majority OF tourists were English
ana American. Now they are German.
Monte Carlo and the resorts on tho
Riviera are thronged with money
spending Germans I'm the winter Monte
Carlo seems especially TO appeal to
wealthy Germans and the majority OF
players at the Casino tables In the soa-
son not infrequently are German. Like
the American, the German spends his
money easily. although perhaps he has
not vet acquired that distinctly Ameri-
can trait OF lavishly overlapping scrv-
ants.
Switzerland this summer has been
thronged with Germans. They out
numbered the Americans and English.
Paris, too, has had as many Germans
as English and Americans, and German
IL heard on the boulevards quite as
