stay in Florida, altogether disguised
with his experience there. He says
that discrimination was shown against
white chauffeurs from the North, and
things were made very Uncomfortable
for him both on the street and in the
garage. 1T cost him $40 week to
sleep in room occupied by five others,
and other costs of living were equally
eXorbitant. Mr. Ulmer attended a
Sh nd 20
to see Foolish Wives" which was
shown at Strand Theatre two or three
years ago. When one picture had been
presented the lights flashed on, and it
was stated that ushers would pass
among the audience selling tickets at
35 cents for the balance of the show.
A chicken sandwich and milk cost 65
cents, and everything else was in pro-
portion. Mr.. Ulmer saw many things
which have helped give Florida her
fame land which were wonderful in the
extreme, but he has had enough of
Florida to last him a lifetime, and it
Is not quite. safe to ask him il he is
going South again this winter.
