walters in the studio restaurant are
busy serving food and drink from
the time the employees arrive until
they depart. But the high-priced
stars and directors-who receive
their pay in dollars-skip across the
street to the Barberina, where ex-
clusiveness is retailed to them for
few hundred extra marks.
1t was at the Barberina-the res
taurant is named after the celebrated
mistress of Frederick the Great
that 1 first met Pola Negri. But it
was not during any recess from ac-
tivities at the studio.

meet President Ebert, Chancellor

New York, can arrange 1t for you.
Despite the fact that the only Ger

BY KARL X. KITCHEN.

A T the Augusta Viktoria Platz,
~ where Observation-Disclosures
n runs into the Kurfstendamm,
stands an imposing stone
| structure-one of the largest and
newest in Berlin. 1t was erected
during the first years of the great
war to house the war trophies which
the modern siesfrieds expected to
exhibit in their capital.
However. its optimistic promoters
builded better than they knew. For
today 1t is the largest American mo-
tion picture studio in Europe. And
instead of collection of war trophies
it is filled with the most celebrated
film actors in Germany, who are
working for American producers
and, it must be added, for American
dollars.

But the "A. E. F. studio, as this

necessary to interrupt them in their

Liquid Oxygen.
KIND of explosive

A KIND of explosive that is not sub
ject to the legal restrictions that
apply to the storing and transporting
of present explosives is said to be
found in liquid oxygen. The ex-
PLANTATION of its safety is found in the
fact that the explosive quality is
given the oxygen only after a fuse has
been drawn through a paper cartridge
and the cartridge saturated with the
oxygen. The flame of the fuse con-
verts the cartridge into carbonic acid
and water vapor. The ca-sridge keeps
it's explosive character then only for
about twenty-five min.ftes, after
which time all the oxygen required
for chemical reaction becomes vapor-
