1.-THE KAISER BE DAMNED"

One of the tense scenes in the Kaiser Be Damned" a new war time Secret Service play that comes to tie Park on Monday Sept 30, is between a typical American girl and a hesitat- ing German-American spy and is well calculated to grip the heart and the sentiment of any red blooded Ameri- can, for bit of the dialogue is quoted here:
 "Yes-Fear. You are doing what you are doing, not because you love the Kaiser, but because you are afraid of the Kaiser. You were oppressed in Germany, you were only common Fritz Reichman; when a German off, cer walked along the Wilhelmstrasse in Berlin he probably pushed you off the sidewalk and you took off your hat and ,trembled as he passed by. You've never had to do that in Amer ica."
