the World War, the late General
Erich Ludendorff. He could toll all
day and most of the night.
Now he relaxes frequently, be 1t
in his hide-out on top of the Kehl-
stein mountain, in his chalet above
Berchtesgaden. in the Dresser Ho-
tel in Godesberg -on-th Rhine, or
even in busy Berlin.
When he assumed power in 1888,
pompous Prussian military marches
alternated with heavy Wagnerian
operate strains as Hitler's musical
food. Today, snappy marches still
resound wherever he shows himself
in public; and he still hears Der
Meistersinger" and other MASTER
pieces of Wagnerian art.
But Hitler's Austrian descent
now breaks through, as it were,
and leads him to places where the
lighter arts of dance and vaude-
vile and comic opera hold sway.
Miriam Verne and Marion Dan
iels, American dancers; Billy Nc
Kay and Eddy Lavalle, American
acrobatic humorists are among the
stars of the dance and vaudeville
who have performed before Der
Fuehrer recently He has been
visiting theatres in which farces
and skits are given. He has seen
several performances of Franz Le-
hairs Merry Widow" He has re-
peatedly visited the club house OF
the artists and chatted animatedly
with such stars of screen and stage
as Zarah Leander, Emil Jannings
Leni Riefenstahl, Dorothea Week
and Leonore Ullrich.
After finishing the draft Of his
momentous reply to President
Roosevelts plea for peace, Hitler
relaxed by going to the Metropole

again.
Hapsburg Attributes

capital. President Won Hindenburg

tween were the dinners and recep-
lions given at the German White
House" And over at the Chancel-
lery, Bachelor Hitler was so en-
crossed in tasks of state that old
party comrades considered them
selves lucky if they we're asked to
stay for the daily luncheon round
table over which their F'uehrer
presided.
The four months Of 1889 have
seen a succession of dinners and
receptions and parties and n1usi-
Gales in the splendiferous new
Reichs Chancellery, a stately build :
ing constructed after Hitler's own
heart and expression of Der Fuen-
rer's conception of German impor-
lance and grandeur.
But Adolf Hitler not only has
become more Viennsse. Strange as
Il may sound, he has taken on the
attributes OF a family upon which
he never loses an opportunity Of
heaping scorn--the Hapsburgs.
When Hitler took over in 1888,
it was considered almost an insult
to Fer Fnehrer to speak Of him as
an Austrian. Arden Nazis went
cut OF their way TO explain that ne
was Austrian merely by the acct
dent CT birth; that in reality he
was German through and through,
more like the Prussian Frederick
the Great than anybody else.
From the moment that Austria
was joined to Germany, Hitler
himself said again and again that
he was supremacy happy to have
brought his home back into the
Reich. His followers pictured him
as having longed for years to bring
his native land into the authoritary
state of all Germans.
Austria In His Heart
Feeling himself an Austrian
again. he appears to have fallen
heir to Hapsburg dreams and as
pirations The virtual annexation
of Bohemia and Morayia in March,
1899, was justified on the grounds
that these lands once were German
crown lands. me contemporary stu
dent OF history remembers them as
parts of the Austro- Hungarian En-
pire.
Slovakia was placed under Ger
man protection. 1t, too, had been a
part OF the Hapsburg empire.
Hungary has been drawn so COM
pletely into the German economic
and military orbit that it may be
regarded as satellite of Greater
Germany.
The Qualification" OF the Polish
German situation, now in progress,
refers not only to sections OF
Pomorze and Pomerellen once a
part OF Germany, but also to sec
tions of Silesia that once were
Austrian.
If Hitler keeps on adding war
less success to success, the old
Austro- Hungarian empire of the
Hapsburgs will form the core of
the new Nazi Third Reich.
Hitler's expanding heart has
opened a chamber marked Aus
tria" next to that marked Ger

BROADWAY
HIGH, DRY;
IS RAGGED
Plays Are Folding Up
Night Clubs Experiene-
ing Tough Time
By GEORGE TUCKER

BY GEOkGE TUCKER
NEW YORK, May 31.-An anxi-
Gus and somewhat disillusioned
Broadway watches May slip into
June with no sign of the crowds and
the showers of gold that was to lift
everybody out of the we'll
The tourists just haven't materi-
allied and what business the Fair
has done has been with the New
Workers themselves, who, abandon
ing their own, have left Broadway
high and dry, with the result that
many plays are folding prematurely
while others languish before empty
houses.
The seriousness of the plight Is
illustrated eloquently by tele-
phone call to the box-office of one
of New York's leading dramas, a
play which until few weeks ago
had proved a lucrative investment
for its angels. A woman from a
nearby community telephoned and
asked if two seats could be held
So hours, or until she could get into
the city and claim them.
When this request was made the
box-office manager burst out
laughing. Lady" he said you
could get here five minutes before
curtain time and have the best
seats in the house"
| Nor is Broadway alone feeling
the blight Billy Rose is closing
his Casa Manana, once the talk of
the town, and two other clubs that
began SO ambitiously few weeks
ago are drying on the vine.
This is being written at night, and
few moments ago, on the way to
this office, passed the great out
doors garden fashioned in the heart
of Rockefeller center. This is where
the ice-skating rink used to be, and
amid shrubs and Towering vines
there are dozens of tables, each
manned by waiter, alone under
the stars Alone is the word. In all
that desert of empty elegance just
two customers were in evidence.
They sat in moody detachment, toy
ing with their beverages, wondering
perhaps if this was really New York
or whether they hadn't wandered
into the wrong town. What a place
for lovers who want to be alone!
They say the real tourist influx
will begin in June and climb
steadily through the summer. 1t
had better begin if Broadway is
to survive, for the New Workers
are spending what money they
have to spend at the Fair, and
Broadway is becoming a rag, a
bone, and a hank O. hair.
New York, which knows no re-
straint, frequently deals itself a
body-blow by claiming record
crowds, thus frightening away many
people who would like to visit the
city but who have no desire to bang
their noggins against waning hotel
accommodations and jostlin g
throngs.
Pay no heed to these lavish
claims. The crowds aren't here.
Hotel accommodations may be had
anywhere, seats to choice theaters
are drug on the market, and the
only real annoyance you are likely
to encounter is in traffic, where it
becomes increasingly difficult to
break through the screen of empty
taxicabs cruising the streets in
search of fares.
Thus endeth the first weeks of
our discomfort But optimism, like
stray daisies thrusting their brave
little heads through the cracks in
the sidewalks, is still alive.
The reason: mo matter how bad
things get they couldn't be any
worse than they have BEEN
