Of the theatres OF Hamburg and its

so far AZ to offer prize OF 5000 marks
$3.50 for novel that will paint stage
life and conditions In Germany At present
in their true colors.
The associations sole purpose 10 to
head Off and discourage the scores Of
young people who are clamoring to be
actors or actresses. As statistical warn
ings Of the large number OF stage people
in Germany out OF employment and the
Servant girl wages" OF tho vast ma
jorlty who are fortunate enough to have
engagements have failed TO discourage
young men and women from rushing into
an already greatly overcrowded profes-
sion, the Hamburg and Altoona Association
Of Actors and Actresses believe that only
q iurid novel will have the desired effect.
The novel must also bring out what at
tributea traits. character. talent and
other qualifications an actor or actress
must possess In order 10 win success, and
at the same time must give the public
a better understanding OF stage life,
