Elias Rothstein, a prominent Yid-
dish actor. of Philadelphia, who has
just returned from the European
war zone and who was visiting in
Newark yesterday, tells narrowing
tales Of the frightful hardships he
and his wife and the rest of his
company, numbering twelve, en-,
dured before they were able to board
ship home bound.
IT lost thirty-five pounds in weight
within a few weeks" said Mr.. Roth
stein to an Evening Star reporter,
"Just imagine, the trip from Lemberg
to Karlsbad, which ordinarily takes
eighteen hours, took twelve days and
nights. And by the time we reached
Karlsbad we had not stitch of any
clothing and but little of anything
else left
"At Lemberg we had been booked
for a long engagement. The first
night, as we entered the theatre,
there was not a sign of anything
like war. After the performance,
when we came out of the theatre,
there were signs of war everywhere.
Mobilization had been begun and
soldiers and recruits filled the
streets, and the beat of the drum
was heard on all sides. We realized
that our only course was to get away

We moved fast enough, events moved
still faster, and we found ourselves
utterly unable to get out of the city
for several days.
AT almost every turn bands of
recruits would stop US and demand
things of us. We were afraid to re-
fuse them. And the result was that
we soon were completely stripped OF
all we possessed. l had a ring worth
$500. but could not dispose of 1t for

practically worthless. Nothing but
gold was considered as currency.

rude to Americans are absolutely

encountered Germans, our passports

there were many places where we
were regarded with suspicion and
held up as spies until we were able
to identify ourselves. In each city
it was necessary to obtain from the
mayor a certificate of identification
before we could proceed to the next
city. But not in a single instance.
even when we were delayed under
suspicion of being spies, did we meet
with any disrespect or rudeness And

laughed and slapped the doctor on

THAT is what I propose to do.
They will not want such thing

of course this depends upon whether
they are honest or in the hotel busi-

Again Braine laughed. Bring her
back to New York alone, Ksculapius,
and a fat check is yours. Nothing
could be simpler than an idea like
this. It's fact; no man can think
of everything, and you've just proved

he exclaimed recently after an inter-
viewer had called on him. II wear
gowns on the stage, to be sure, be-
cause they are source of livelihood
to me, but when my work Is done l
hate them.
Just because a ditch-digger earns
his s1.25 a day with q spade, he
doesn't eat with 1t and talk about 1t
all the time after his work Is done,
nor do his friends constantly talk to
him of his spade. Yet everybody who
meets me brings up the subject Of
gowns as though they were the one
topic in which l am interested. My
earnest ambition Is that some day
I may go where I will never see or
hear of gown again. All my friends
know of my aversion to women's at
tire as q subject of conversation and
respect it. wish others would do
the same"

| Wheel to the Columbia Wheel have

The comedies are entitled THE Ali

male impersonator; Lillian Smalley,
a handsome prima donna; Bella

emotional actress portrays a role
that will be long remembered in the
