"I'll try that some day. Thank you
for the idea," said Chrys. "Canaries

In the course of time, Midget and
Corinne Carol arrived at AIMS house
with Mrs. Best.
The welcome we gave Mrs. Best
was perfectly sincere. Her judgment
in the selection of movie stars to
meet society girls proved remarka-
BILE.
Midget was a little dear, just
natural-born swimmer who had de-
veloped her talent at a small bathing
beach on Lake Erie. She loved to ex-
hibit her championship medals-the
things which had won her a place in
the movies. She was a sweet and
wholesome Midget" absorbed in ma
king her own living and quite proud
of the figures of her salary.
Corinne Caryl, noted vamp, was
rather stupid, Chrys and ] thought,
when she wasn't vamping. She was a
stunning widow, and she worked very
hard in order to educate her son. We
found out that the public didn't know
about the son.
"The publicity men have an aw--

ply for me-" she explained.

JAP FIRMS WANT TO
TRADE WITH GERMANY

Berlin, May 21.-Japanese CONNER
.cial firms are making great efforts to
resume business with Germany. One
Japanese shipping company has
opened it's offices in Hamburg and a
regular steamship service is running to
Japanese ports. Copper and silk are
the main exports from Japan to Ger
many while potash is the chief article
demanded from Germany by Japan.
According to the Tageblatt, the
Japanese government is considering a
claim submitted by Germany that the
Shantung (Tsingtau-T snanfu) railway
is private and not state property. In
the latter case, the railway would be-
come forfeited to Japan, in accordance
with the same terms of the peace
treaty.
Japan proposes to release all Ger
man property under her control up to
the value of 10000 yen. Property worth
more will be subject to a deduction of
a certain percentage to indemnify Jap
aneSe who have claims against Ger
many for war damages.

FOLK THEATRE
FOR new YORK
COMMUNITY WORKER PLANS TO
GIVE ALL NATiONALlTiES A
CHANCE TO DEVELOP TALENT.

New York, May 21.-Foreign- born
Americans. with love for the drama
Of their native lands are to have a
Folk Theater Of their own, the project
of Burton w. James, local commun-
ity worker, who has directed Russian
and Italian as well as English produc-
-tions in New York.
The theater, in which, it is said
'the plays of all nations" will be given
by amateur and professionals will be
one of the tiniest in the city. 1t will
seat only 299 persons but the plans
contemplate that it shall be complete
and modern in every way. The site
selected is on the upper East Side.
Russians, Italians, Czecho- Slovakians
and many other former Europeans for
years have presented grand opera,
comedy and tragedy written by mas
tiers whose work has never been seen
by Broadway theatergoers. Mr.. James,
who is enthusiastic about his venture
says that the primitive love for acting
is very much alive in New York and
that the zest for self explanation
which persists among these one
time immigrants even in small dingy
public halls with wretched stage ac-
coutrements will never die.
Might after night, all over New
York" said Mr.. James, amateur ac-
tors OF foreign nationalities entertain
crowds Of their countrymen with bet
ter plays than Broadway usually
sees. Less than five per cent Of them
have ever been inside a Broadway
theater. When they do go to American
shows it is necessarily to the cheapest
kind. The influence of this is mani
fected in the taste for art which their
children develop. But the parents
never forge tthe pleasure they were
used to in the old country
".This is what 1 mean: A town that
know of in Bohemia, of 1000 inhabi-
tants, produced The Flying Dutch
man. for their own entertainment. 1t
must. have taken every member of the
community to put it on. 1 have some
times offered the tiny stage at the
Lenox Hill Settlement where I direct
dramatics, but when I say to an ex-
come and play for us 1.-The Battered
Bride" by your famous countryman,
Smetana,' they answer: Our orches-
ira would leave no room for the audi
ence! And with such small stage and
no dressing rooms it would be impos-
sible.'"
Interest in the Folk Theater has been
taken by Hunter College, which will
celebrate its 50th anniversary here to-
morrow with a festival including a
benefit performance of 1.-The Two Or
phans," a play just a half century old
itself. The box office receipts Will
be used as a nucleus for Mr.. James
theater enterprise. The Bohemian ar
lists, Mitetka and Myresek, who have
sympathized with the dramatic efforts
of their fellow countrymen, have Of
fered to cooperate, it is said, in the
decorative arrangements and prepara-
ton of scenery.
