kaiser 3 million dollars to become q
moving picture actor. Mawruss." Abe
Potash said recently. "znd claims he
would stiu offer It even II be thought
there was the slightest chancs OF the
kaiser taking aim up on It"
Well. that don't impress ne none,
Abe" Morris said. because the NOV
Ing picture business Is q wonderful
business for talking about big money
IN. There Is probably more openings
for talking about big money In the
moving picture business than any
business, but the ratio OF casr to con-
versauou in the big money talk OF
the moving picture business is wider

concern which the moving picture
man represents, MaWruss. he would
begin 70 ask himself why the German
foreign office has been fool{ug away

diplomatic service when there was so
many totally uneducated but just the
same brilliant crooks in America
trained up to the minute and making
contracts for moving picture con-
wen, the chances that the kaiser
would make such a contract is very
slim. Abe" Norris said. because even
the Germans is in favor Of trying
him"
sure I know, Abe replied. but the
reasons why the Germans Is now IN
favor OF trying him Is that the allies
has changed their minds and say they
don't want to try him under any cir
cumstances. and certainly you can't
blame the allies. Mawruss, because the
expenses OF getting together the jury
