Special Correspondence of The Star and Chicago
Daily News.
BERLIN. Germany, August 10
During the war the leaders of the
German dye industry feared that aft
er the conflict they would find the
international dye market in the hands
of their competitors. regardless OF
which side won. With apprehension
they witnessed the progress of the
dye industry in England. America
Japan and the neutral European
countries. Everywhere new factories
sprang up and each country announc-
ed that it's homemade dyes were just
as good as. or even surpassed. the
German products.
But. although Germany lost the
war. the fears of the dye manufac-
turers have been allayed. According
to the managing director of Ger
many's greatest dye concern. the
Bayer company in Leverkusen. near
Cologne. the textile industries OF
England. America and Japan are
clamoring for German dyes.
The only difficulty we have is
finding enough skilled laborers for
our industry to be able to fill the del
uge of orders we have received from
abroad" he said "At present we
are employing only 40 per cent of the
number of workingmen we had be-
fore the war. But through the losses
of the war md the fact that for
eighteen months after the armistice
we had not enough work to keep 90
per cent of our men busy. we are
short of men now that we are re-
covering"
American Orders Plentiful.
1t is particularly the American tex
tile industry that is placing large or
ders with the seven big German dye
firms. This is due principally to
anxiety among American textile firms
that the new tariff. and especially the
Longworth bill. which is designed to
protect the American dye industry
from foreign competition, will prac-
tically stop Germany's dye trade with
America.
"It is surprising that the American
dye manufacturers should ask for leg
islation to protect their capital" said
one German dye manufacturer. The
American dye industry is SO much
weather. than ours. Our capital
amounts to 1852 100000 marks, which
today is less than $27,0oo,0oo What
amount of money invested in the
American dyestuff industry?
"Our American competitors declare
they are afraid Of Germany's dump
ing her products on the American
market at very low prices. AS mat
ter of fact we long ago realized that
dumping. in the long run. spoils the
trade, and that the cut-price
system eventually cuts our own
throats. On the other hand. sometimes
We are able to underbid our competi-
tors. because we can produce much
cheaper than other countries. as re-
suit Of the low value Of the German
mark. That isn't our fault. however.
anc we try to get the highest prices.

the sixteen at the close of the "Tip
Top" season. "Give me the 'alls,
say, where you've got to be top hole
all the way and no kidding goes"
palace Theater" sounds good to
these youngsters, who came to this
country direct from the Palace Theater,
London. They are looking forward to
their engagement with positive delight.
Here's their history:
The London Palace Girls, sixteen
skilled dancers, were feature of every
production made by Sir Alfred Butt at
the Palace Theater, London, in the last
seven years. These girls, apprenticed
to the dance in early youth, had sew
eral years of hard training under q
famous London dancing teacher before
they were allowed to appear in public.
Trained as Ensemble,
They Always Dance as Unit
They were trained as an ensemble
and have always danced as unit
through their professional career. The
troupe was named the Palace Girls by
Sir Alfred Butt and they Immediately
became great favorites at the Palace,
which was their sole professional home
until the moving picture interests pur-
chased the property and took over the
favorite London playhouse Of Ameri-
can visitors.
The Palace Girls supported Elsie
Janis in "The Passing Show" and
"Hello, America" In London and ia
their seven years at the Palace they
became q substantial and deservedly
popular London theatrical institution.
None of them has married and none
has resigned from the troupe, and by
constant training and long experience
they havs developed the art Of en-
semble dancing to the highest degree.
Old John Tiller, the master dancing
teacher of Great Britain, is respon-
sible for the training and management.
Of the London Palace Girls, the six
teen ensemble dancers who made a hit
in Fred Stones support in "Tip Top"
He has been training such dancers for
more than thirty-fve years and has
practically standardized stage dancing
in his own country.
The Palace Girls have been dane
ing together for more than seven years
uEder that name, and have only been
released for engagements by Charles
Dillingham; and vaudeville by the con-
version of the Palace Theater, Lon
don, into movie house. Miss Jennie
Wharton has been the captain and
manager of the troupe in all these

Especially Trained for
Old John Tiller's Troupes

"Like all the other Palace Girls, /
became q pupil of John Tiller when l
was about eight years DID," says Miss
Wharton. "We all came from Manches-
ter, where Mr.. Tiller has SO long main
tanned his principal dancing school.
Several hundred children were always
numbered among his pupils, and those
who proved most apt were apprenticed
to Mr.. Tiller as pupil dancers. and es-
pecially trained for one of his troupes.
The course of instruction was very
thorough and we had special instruc-
tor for each school of dancing. After
few years I was placed in troupe
of twelve children and we travelled
through the British provinces for q
number Of years as the Manchester
Mites AS we grew older we were
transferred to the adult companies and
appeared at the leading music halls and
in the big pantomimes."
Perhaps it is the long association
with the sixteen girls which makes
Miss Wharton's task possible. Then,
she suggests, English dancing girls
have professional pride which the
American dancers do not seem to pos
sess. An American dancer, Miss Whar-
ton says, would feel herself perfectly
justified in leaving her profession for
matrimony under any circumstances or
at any time. But John Tiller girls
have pride Of common accomplish
ment and the ties of several years of
association to bind them together. With
all her English training, Miss Wharton
has "Yankee" head for business. She
transacts all the business for the
troupe, collecting the amount paid for
the act and paying each girl her share.
She looks out for her girls in their
otf-stage hours. She has them quar-
tered in four groups of four girls
each, looks in often to see that they
are comfortable and happy, reminds
them to write home frequently and
checks up their consumption of Amer
ican chocolate nut sundaes, as well as
finding time to be banker, confdante
and shopping guide.
