Simple Good Time
When I reached the street
and thought over the hilarious
events in that beer garden, I
suddenly realized that I had
spent one Of the best hours Of
my life. It was all so simple
and so natural and so swell.
And then I thought of the
worldly-wise people in New
York, who, at that very hour,
were climbing into evening
clothes in order to strain for q
good time at the Mayfair or
the Casino. And I pitied them.
For even If the good time ar
rived, they couldn't be natural
enough to enjoy it.
What is going to happen to
Germany? Who knows? AS
long as Won Hindenberg, a
greatly beloved character over
here, remains alive the nation
will go along as it has been
doing for some years. But that
man is now in the middle 6Os,
and even the most optimistic
insurance, company wouldn't
consider him a particularly
good risk. They say he is in
complete control of all his
faculties and he must be a
most remarkable man.
The political pot in Germany
continues to boil over. There
were some 50-odd political par
ties in the last election, and
each one of them had some
thing of a following. After
Hindenberg, of course, Hitler
has the largest following in
Germany. But his power has
dwindled in election after elec-
ton and unless Won linden
berg pops off in a hurry Mr..
Hitler won't have enough men
left to form a regiment when
the big event does take place.
Military Nation
Speaking of regiments,
though, that's one thing in
which Germany excels ,at the
present moment. It seems to
me that every German citizen
belongs to some regiment or
other-and some of them to
two or three. They are always
training, walking, marching,
drilling, exercising-and for
what?
Well, I'll leave the answer to
you. And in spite Of the in
ternal dissension that must
arise when you have so many
parties fighting each other, I
honestly do not believe that
Germany will remain a con-
quered nation for too long a
time. These people are war.
riors by instinct. And any ma
ton that. only a short time
ago, came within 40 miles of
conquering most of Europe
and possibly all of it-can
never be held too cheaply in
the general scheme of things.
I firmly believe that, in the
years to come, Germany will
find a way out of its present
difficulties. The internal strife
may yet lead to plenty of
bloodshed and terror-but I
think it will all wind up with
the nation reverting again to a
monarchy with the former
Crown Prince at the helm.
There would be an ironic
situation for your whiskers. We
fought and won the war to
make the world safe for de-
mocracy. And the nation that
was conquered reverts back to
a monarchy because it finds
that democracy does not pay!
Hallelujah!
Whatever happens, 7 wish
these people well. Because I
think they wish us well, too.
I wish I could say as much for
several other nations that need
not be mentioned here.

ALWAYS Cold Coffee

Always Cold Coffee
At any rate, no matter how
many times you urge the
walters to keep your food hot,
they always forget instructions
by the time the coffee rolls
around. The soup holds the
right heat and the meat Is liza
BILE to be fairly warm. But the
coffee never.
I stood the situation for two
days and then I raised the
devil.
"Look, Roscoe" I told the
waiter, "this makes the third
time I've had to tell you that
] must have my coffee hot.
Now get this straight.
whenever I order, you at
tend to my coffee first. See
that it's so hot that you can
hardly hold it-and then serve
it with my meal. Not after.
Do you understands"
The waiter nodded rapidly.
quite" he replied. "I un-
derstand now exactly what the
doctor wishes. I apologize for
what has gone before and as
sure him that, from now on,
there will be a difference"
That night he proved that
he understood. Before he served
anything else he brought the
coffee. It was steaming hot.
And then. when he finally
brought my lamb chops, whic'
were now the last items in my
meal, they were ice cold!
The beer gardens were posi-
lively swell. The crowds are
jovial and the orchestras seem
to have as good a time as
the customers. The spots do
not close until 8 in the
morning and they are generally
well filled. And the latter state
lment in spite Of the fact that
some of the places are almost a
complete block in length.
There is no show; the other
customers and the large or
chestra providing the entertain
r1ent. The beer is ridiculously
cheap, and it is such beer as
we will unsuccessfully be at
tempting to turn out 10 years
after the prohibition law is
forgotten-God speed the joy
Gus day.
Amateur Night
The orchestra has no set
program. They sense the mood
Of the audience and they at
tempt to fit the mood with
their music. They hop from
jazz to opera to the old Ger
man songs in the spa@e Of one
number. Every once in so
often one of the customers
leaps from his table and at
tempts to lead the orchestra.
IF he stumbles from too much
beer, he directs from where he
falls. The orchestra follows
him faithfully, the result is
g complete discord-and the
other customers howl with glee.
When you buy the orchestra
o drink, they cease playing i'm
Hnediately. They can be in the
middle Of an opera, but a
bought drink is a bought drink.
They all rise, sing a toast to
!. you in which the entire estab-
lishment joins, drain their beer,
sit down again-and resume
playing from whence they left
off.
After the number has been
concluded, the leader steps out
to the roll Of the drums. He
looks at the buyer of the drink
and smiles happily.
Eve all thank you very
much for the drink" he says
in German, land we take this
opportunity to tell you that we
also smoke cigars"
The beer-drinkers hear this

There were three Of us again.
Each of US had a large beer

H1rSchheld has answered critics to the effect that Soviet Russia re- quircs the strongest station in Eu- rope because of the difficulty of reaching all parts of the republic. They declare they soon will move the station farther inland to get the full coverage.
 The French post office station has been in difficulties for some time with the heavy battering of the German stations and the pow erful station of the Russians and has been rendered almost helpless at times. The Daventry national long wave station has been re- duced to catcalls by the Soviet sta- tion, and the ministers of posts of France and Britain are wondering what can be done about it.
 Soviet Russia is going to give one program q week. probably on Sunday. Their English speaking announcer soon will start with an entirely new program, which, of course, will be propaganda.
 The German stations won their victory over French stations long ago and it was not until the re- cent Austrian trouble that it was discovered that Germany virtually was rolling in propaganda destined for the peasants of Austria. AL though the competition in national radio stations is acute, Germany and Russia have the strongest. It is believed. due to their alleged ncds, their stations have wave lengths superior to others, although the conference at Lucerne forbade the giving of nationalistic. or prop aganda. programs in anything but native language.

GARDEN

Suave William Powell returns to the type of role that first won him
 screen recognition in Private De- tective 62," which is showing at
 the New Garden theater to-day
 and tomorrow.
 Once again this polished star
 portrays, as the title suggests, a
 sleuth, but one of different order
 than his Philo Vance characteriZa- tions of the past. In this thrilling highly entertaining offering Powell is tarnished, but more interest ing, spy on erring wives and way ward husbands. Discredited in diplomatic circles, Powell is forced to employ his fer reting genius in domestic spheres. By his charm and adroitness he is
 unusually successful in a profes-
 sion that is as remunerative as it is loathsome. Then he undertakes to "get the goods" on beautiful Mar garet Lindsay, but makes the mis- take of falling in love with her. The companion picture is "One Sunday Afternoon" directed by Stephen Roberts. It is q story of q small town bully. and later a suc- cessful dentist, who most of his life believed he was in love with q former sweetheart. Gary Cooper is the dentist and Fay Wray. the former flame. But, after lapse of twenty years, this same beauty re- turns to town, and Cooper is disil- lusioned. Others in the cast include Neil Hamilton, Roscoe Karns. Jane Darwell. Sam Hardy and Elizabeth Patterson.
 Also showing Is entertaining short subjects. The added attrac- tior tomorrow night will be Auc- ton Circus with Sam Barlow. the comedy auctioneer, in charge. The special added attraction Thursday and Friday will be four acts of big time vaudeville.

STRAND

Warmers Strand presents Mae West in "I'm No Angel" to-day and tomorrow on double feature pro- gram including Richard Dix with Elizabeth Allan and Ralph Bellamy in Ace of Aces."
 From every standpoint, "Pm No AngeT' is 8 better picture than its predecessor. Miss West is even more colorful as Tira, the Million Dollar Beauty, who James savage lions and men with equal facility, than she was as the diamond be- decked Lady Lou. Paramount has given the second production of it's greatest star an excellent cast, smart direction and gilded mount ing.
 Mae sings seven "scorch songs," dances the midway, as remark able dance in which she moves everything except her feet; puts her head in a lion's mouth; utters a succession of breezy wisecracks which. probably will be heard everywhere, as was Come up and see me metime''-until another West picture brings us some more Westicisms.
 As special added attraction to- morrow evening the management will present the latest edition of the popular A. E. c. Minstrels on the Strand stage. In the cast are several local favorites, including Vincent Renzo, Crosby High school football star, who is said to be an excellent tap dancer. There will be big doings at the Strand to-mor- row night so better plan to be on hand.

RUSSIAN GAME
 SWEEPS CAFES
Bar Room Billiards Being Played in All French
 Casinos

 Paris, (NP)-The bar room game of Russian billiards is sweeping France as no fad has in recent years.
 Not since the Yo-Yo craze has any game taken Paris with such intensity. Virtually every cafe particularly the smaller ones, now ha some or two green billiard ta- bles, where clients play. The game requires a certain billiard players complicated, afford equal. chances for the most unskilled player.
 Years ago. the law prohibiting any kind of public gaming in cafes except those ancient machines which worked on the principle of a roulette wheel in a glass case. and the most one could win was a few centimes. With the advent of the Russian billiards, other games have ben introduced, and it seems the government has eased up con- siderably in giving the people equal opportunity for gambling.
 At one time no gambling casino was allowed within 100 kilometers of Paris, but the reopening of the Casino at Enghien broke that rule, and people who live in Paris now may enjoy all the doubtful bene- fits of regular gambling casino.
 Official leniency stretched an other point recently when it was decreed that French casinos could install roulette wheels, while here toforc the only roulette wheels had been operating at Monte Carlo and San Reno.

Performances this afternoon and evening conclude the engagement. .. at Warmers State. of the current double feature program which in- cIudes James Cagney in Lady Killer'' and '1f I Were Free" star ring Irene Dunne and Give Brook. Tomorrow brings beautiful Doro- thea Wieck, star of the German mt film "Maedchen in Uniform" Tn her first American-made hiIs Cradle Song"
 Miss Wieck plays the diincut role of Joanna, the nun who knew the joys and sorrows of mother hood behind cloistered convent walls. On the legitimate stage, the part has been played by the lead ing dramatic actresses of this coun- try and. Europe. The character ization by Eva Le Gallienne made the play one of the best every sea- son since its first production i'll 1927 in New York. Grade Song" is story Of frustrated mother love. Joanna en- ters a convent at eighteen leaving behind her several young brothers and sisters whom she has raised. | Her longing for motherhood IS sat- isfied when an infant is left at the convent door, and she is permitted to care for it. The child, Teresa, grows to maidenhood adoring Joanna.
 When Teresa is grown, she meets young man and falls in love with him. The picture approaches climax as Teresa wages an inward struggle to- determine who deserves her loyalty while Joanna realizes her own selfish love and tries to conquer it.
 | In the cast are Evelyn Venable, Kent Taylor, Sir Guy Standing, Louise Dresser and Gail Patrick. | The companion feature is to be the cyclonic comedy hit Horse play" Horse Play" is perfect medium for the drollery of the known Slim Summervilic. Andy Devine, cast as his cowboy pal, rises to the occasion proving the perfect foil.
 Locale of the film moves from the dusty range of the Montana COW country to the fog yelled coun-
 try-side of an English medieval castle. Much of the naturally fast action of the picture is enlivened | by the ridiculous situations ill which Sims horse is found.

PALACE


 Long awaited as m event of clnematic importance, Berkeley Square," the picture that Is pro- duced on an elaborate scale similar
 to "Calvalcade," directed by Frank Lloyd, maker of "CaIvnlcade" and boasts notable cast headed by
 Leslie Howard and Heather Angel will be the feature attraction on the double bill to be offered theA- ter-goers starting tomorrow at Polls.
 "Berkeley Square," which played twice in London and for eight months on Broadway as a play is
 unusual in theme. The story con-
 cerns itself with man of the pres cnt who believes the past still ex- ists. His desire to take himself
 back 150 years becomes so great
 that he forgets the present and | finds himself living in the eigh- teenth century. As man of the present living in the past, Leslie Howard finds he has many difnA
 cult problems to solve, the most i'm portant of which is his love for Heather Angel. The mutual attrac- 1 ton for these two people, each from a different era, gives "Barke- ley Square" the unusual touch that
 has made it the talk of the coun- try. Leslie Howard who has difficult role to portray, is said to give an inspired performance that outdoes any of his former roles. Heather
 Angel who is seen opposite Howard plays her most important role to
 date. The remaining members of
 the cast include Valerie Taylor,
 Irene Browne, Olaf Hytten, Beryl
 Mercer, Colin Keith Johnson, Alan
 Mowbray, Juliette Compton. Betty
 Lawford, Ferdinand Gottschalf, Samuel 1inds and David Terrence. The co-feature on the program
 is called the Big Executive" star ring Ricardo Cortez, and Elizabeth I Young.
 The picture is a graphic interpre- tation of the lives led by multi millionaires, their struggle for fame and wealth on the street sup posed to be paved with gold-Wall street.> Intimate glimpses of their
 private lives are depicted in inter esting fashion, and the action
 moves swiftly through skyscrap-

AIRSHIPS AID CAR DESIGNERS
Auto Engineers to Take Lessons Applied in COn=
 structing Dirigibles

Akron, O., (UP)-Application of lessons learned in the design of large airships will produce results long sought by engineers in the au- tomotive field, according to Dr Karl Arnstein. designer of the U. $. S. Macon" and leading authority on dirigible construction in the United States.
 "The influence of the airship may be seen in the trend toward streamlining motor vehicles, and if carried to it's fullest extent! will re- suit in decided advantages, aside from moro economical operation" Dr Arnstein says. Comfort will be vastly increased through added room and greater stability, while safety will be enhanced through minimizing the danger of overturn- ing in a strong side wind."
 The airship expert made it clear that the ultimate in streamlining had by no means been reached, pointing out that rounding the nose of motor car was not suffi- cient.
 'The ideal streamline shape for an automobile resembles a slen- deriZed eggshell cut in half longi- tudinally and placed with the open side down. the blunter end repre- senting the front pr Arnstein de- clares. "'The rounded nose allows the air, to flow easily over and around it. while the tapering rear permits it to close in behind with out setting up whirling eddies that create drag and retard the progress of the conventional machine.'
 Item such as headlights, fen ders and running boards, which create parasitic resistance, must be modelled smoothly into the egg-like shape, if cars are to benefit fully from streamlining, Dr Arnstein adds. He cites the inclusion of the engines within the body of the Macon" as an indication of what must come.

NEA Service Stan Correspondent Hollywood.-Just three years out of college and already the heads of their own motion picture com pany.
 When young motion picture ex- ecutives are being discupSed, this record, hung up by John A. Curtis and Frank Look, certainly deserves recognition. Naturally their conn., pany, Salient Pictures, isn't large. But it's their own and they expect to build it into one of the leading independent concerns.
 As students at Yale, Curtis and Look were roommates. Both we're active in dramatic activities and, after graduation, became associat- ed in the production of several successful stage shows on. Broad way. A few months ago they came to Hollywood, pooled their re- sources, and organized Salient Pic tures
 Their first production, Mating Time," with Jeanette Loft in the leading role, just has been com pleted and in my opinion easily ranks with the higher class inde- pendent films.
 Incidentally, this picture also marks Miss Lofts return to the screen after an absence of three years, during which time she ap- peared in numerous plays in New York. And she still has one of the finest singing voices to be found in HollyWoOd
