GERMANS OUT FOR

DARKNESS FALLS
nj MILTON BRONNER.

Berlin.-SeriOuS faces are 30
common in Germany, that II any
one laughed out loud on the street
it would probably cause comment.
The American travelling around
Germany is struck by the gravity
OF the people he sees on the streets,
in the cars and in the shops.
It would be easy to genefalixe
and say that since they lost the war,
the Germans have forgotten how TO
smile.
But that would be to write down
as profound an error as many
others that are written about Ger
many.
That night tells q different story
from the day. When the dark
comes the German seeks his amttse-
ment. He looks for some place
where he may laugh and-forget.
AS d result there has never been
time in Germany when there
were 80 many theatres, cabarets
dance halls, concerts and movie
houses. TO this must be added the
exhibitions of gymnastic work and
the race tracks.
The theatres which are PUTTING
on gay light operas are the ones
that are doing the best business.
The vaudeville houses have theiI
devotees, but singularly enough fol
