Indications that the hatred and 70.
sentiment engendered by the war are
dying down much moro quickly than
was anticipated Is shown In campaign
here to lift the official ban on <rei1nan
movies" which probably will be done
early In 1922.
In December. 1918. It was decreed that
no German films could be shown in this
country until at least five years after
the signing of the armistice. Tho de-
cree was received with great ent1nusi-
asn. but the feeling among exhibitors
now ,s that the ban has continued long
enough. It is felt that German films
should be given a fair chance.
There Is demand here for German
"superfilms." Exchange rates are fa-
vorable TO British theater owners and It
is possible to bring German films here
without delay. This Will be blow to
American films shown in England. as
they are brought here at great expense
to the British buyer.
Among the first German motion pic
tures to be shown here after the ban u
lifted probably viii be LADY Hanil-
ton." photo play based on tho life of
Nelson. It has just been produced by q
German company. It pays homage to
Britain's great naval hero.

was made yesterday that Harold F.
Mccormick soon will accompany
his younger daughter, Mathilde, to
Switzerland, where she may be mar
ried to Max Oser, proprietor of
livery stable at Zufich. If the
marriage takes place the couple will
reside in Zurich. Cablegrams from
that point yesterday said Oser had
opened negotiations for the purchase
Of villa.
Conjecture about the age of the
Swiss horseman were definitely set

micks are concerned. 1t is agreed
he is 40, 81 years older than his pros
pective bride. -
There are intimations that the

never had an opportunity to meet
many men, young or old, may
change her mind, now that she is

water and ice.
