New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1915-02-10

Miss Vera Stricken returned home
Monday from a two weeks visit with
friends at Henderson and in the Twin
Cities.
Miss Cecilia Eibner entertained a
party of her friends last Thursday even
ing in honor of her birthday. The even
ing was spent at cards and the prize
winners were the Misses Marie Korbel
and Anna Angelburg, high, and the
Misses Ida Haubrich and Elizabeth Hen
lie, low. A splendid lunch was served and
the young people had a most pleasant
evening.
A sure sign that spring is on the way is
the pilgrimage of the city milliners to-
wards the fashion centers to choose their
stock for the summer season. To be
sure they usually 60 while the snow is
thick on the ground and the chill winds
whistle but one always feels treasured
, that spring will come again for the
milliners are wise lot and if there were
any doubt that the warm weather would
not reappear in good season we should
not see them hieing away from their
warm fresides when the cities are so cold
and generally disagreeable. Mrs. Foil
mann left last week for Minneapolis
where she has been visiting for several
days. From there she intended to 60 on
| to Milwaukee and Chicago to do her
buying. Her trimmer, Miss Lou
Schramm, left this week to spend two
weeks in the wholesale houses at St. Paul.
Mrs .AnnaNeuman Rinke departed Sun
day for Chicago and will also visit Mil
, waukee and St. Paul. Mrs. Sarah
Pfeferle left Saturday, going direct to
! Milwaukee, Mrs. Rolloff left yesterday.
They all expect to be back by the last of
the month.
Most of those who attended the NOV
ing pictures at Turner Hall last We'd
nesday evening feel that they were
"stung" Instead of seeing pictures of
the transportation of armies in the
present world war and other scenes
that would give some idea of the mag
nitude of the present conflict as they
had a right to expect from the adver-
! tisements of these motion pictures
that had been sent out the audience was
treated to lot of wornout films. Not
only were the films antiquated, but to
heap insult on injury, the manager,
Mr.. Unger, foisted lot Of advertising
on the unsuspecting public. Instead
of seeing worthwhile films they were
treated to large number of ads. from
local merchants and manufacturers
The "Review" does not mean to cri-
ticise those who advertised but to hold
up to public scorn the man who had the
nerve to 60 up to them and make it
appear that they would be doing some
thing for the cause of Germany by pay
ing for advertising space when he knew
that he was simply working for Unger
& Co. and was using the patriotism of
the people to feather his own nest.
The disgusting thing about the whole
proposition is that such fakirs are able
to obtain letters Of recommendation
from the German Ambassador and from
Consul Grunow as this fellow had done
and on the strength of which he got
the support of every minister in the
city and every other patriotic citizen.
AS result of this united support Tur-
ner Hall was packed that evening as
it had never been packed before and
hundreds had to be turned away. A
great many came from the surrounding
towns and neighboring villages and were
even more disappointed than the people
from town at the mediocre performance.
The next day Mr.. Unger turned over to
Mayor L. A. Fritsche, check for the
sum Of $4,000 drawn on bank in Daven-
port, Iowa for the share of the proceeds
that is to 60 to the Widows and Orphans
Fund with the request that this be for
warded to Ambassador Bernstorff which
was done.
