Houdini Has Bonatide
Apology From Er.Kaiser

Few people know that Houdini is an
American and that he was the first
American to make the ex-Kaiser apol-
ogize. When he was performing in
European theatres Houdini was ar
rested after a showing in q Cologne
theatre and convicted in a German
court that claimed he was charalatan,
A German official, the principal ac-
epsex, openly published an article in
the Cologne "Rheinische Zeitung''
that Houdini as man Of honor could
not ignore. He asked for an apology
and q retraction Of tho false story and
wan indicated in court because he
proved to the jury that he could re-
lease himself in their presence after
being bound by the transport police,
For this reason Houdini received an
cren apology in the name Of the Kaiser.

DR.. Riesenfeld Speaks
Fifty Words for Us

Ever since Hugo Riesenfeld sue
ceeded Samuel Rothapfel as director
general of the Rivoli-Rialto circuit we
had intended to ask him if being mu-
stefan and a conductor of orchestras
made it any easier to step in and take
the reins Of control of such an organ
ization as he is at present the head of.
1t never was any easy matter to
reach DR.. Riesenfeld, unless you went
to have your voice tried as an aspirant
for Rialto or Rivoli honors. And now
he does all that he did before and all
that Mr.. Rothapfel did before, which
makes it much more intricate.
1t isn't that DR.. Riesenfeld surrounds
himself with satellites who refuse to
let you see him. Lou, the beautiful
blond telephone girl, would always be
delighted to help you out if she knew
where he was. But that's the trouble.
He never is anywhere. He always is
between places.
"Just minute, now" says the lady
at the switchboard in the Rivoli. "He
was seen passing Broadway and Forty
fourth Street, and ought to be here in
two minutes" He never is. And when
he does arrive there are five men wait
ing for him to sign papers, three men
waiting for him to look at pictures,
twelve persons waiting to be heard and
ten just waiting.
No matter what happens, however,
DR.. Riesenfeld is always the same as he
is when he steps from behind the velvet
curtains at the Rialto and the house
breaks into uproarious applause.
People say it's personality and per-
haps it is. Perhaps personality is only
desire to please and complete
sympathy with the other people in the
world.
Anyway, we are afraid to sit in the
second row at the Rialto any more,
for when Hugo Riesenfeld conducts we
never are sure that we sha'n't leap
from our seat and tell him all about
how wonderful he Is when 1t is fin
ished.
With all of these people waiting to
consult DR.. Riesenfcld about every
thing including their income tax he
didn't appear to be bit hurried and
stopped to talk.
Eyes, am rather busy" he admit
ted. "But l have to eat some time
Why not take luncheon with mo two
weeks from next Saturday and we can
talk"
ooh, but We must have this for
Sunday! just fifty words will do"
So while he took off HIS coat and
muffler he said, Directing the des-
TIMES Of two theatres is child's play.
compared to being a conductor One
requires years Of study, constant ap-
plication and has many discourage
mcnts. The other is just something
snat comes natural. Approaching
other peoples tastes-knowing how
to give them what they want"

spare moments" H.U.
