16 ALL GERMANY IS FOUND AT RACES Proletariat Fights to Get to Betting Machines. B3TB Li IK, July Ri—Democracy kta real ly reached Germany. The racetracka ahow that, If all other algos were mlaalng. The hundreds of thousands who cow attend the race meet* In Hamburg, Knhleben, Grunewald, Frankfurt and Breeden are “of the people.” The pomp and display that marked racing back in the kaiser's days are gone. The big crowds who now attend are working folks, and they are taking this amusement with all the gusto and en thusiasm that their former masters had. The ‘‘kaiser's box” at one of the su burban tracks Is still barred off. Just as the middle roadway through the Bran danburg gate Is acarcaly used—from a force of habit which reserved the place to royalty. But the logs* and all the Tine place* ar taken now by proletarians for, with increased wages, and with no appreciable increase In the price of tickets, the work ing man can enjoy his afternoon'* out ing without nicking his pocketbook par ticularly. The most amazLng feature of the racing game, however, is the way in which the public spends Its money on race gamb ling. The “fotaUsator” method is used, and hundreds of thousands of marks flow af ter other hundreds of thousand* into the machines. It is next to impossible to get to the machines in which the few-odd marks are bet; hut strangely enough the crowds seeking to make higher bets are even larger than those of the small bettors.

Samuel Marwln la lit* name and he Is noted for writing the famous “Henry” stories. Mr. Merwln Is here assisting Stuart Walker In directing the reuearsals of “Temperamental Henry,” a play written by Merwln and which will be presented at the Murat next Monday night for the first time on any stage. The manner In which Mr. Merwln be gan his task of building up the charac ter of Henry Is most Interesting. ‘‘l sat down,” he says, “and wrote lists of things that a boy of eighteen might be thinking about. “X wrote down everything I could think of under the head of ‘susceptibilities and affections.’ “Then came money, not in the finan cial sense, but in the sense that the boy had to have it for flowers or for hiring a dress suit. “In order came ‘Thoughts of a Career,' next ‘Religion,’ then ‘Education,’ and last of all, ‘Work.’ “Religion has a way of rushing up in a boy, you know. “Os course, I will never be able to use all tbe material because one has to con dense so in the type of story I am writ ing. However, It Is a fascinating form to write In and I enjoy it.’’ In making a dramatisation of his books, “Temperamental Henry” and “Henry Is Twenty,” Mr. Merwln found it quite easy sailing. He has combined the more Interesting details of his stories In the play, and one in seeing it unfolded act by act before the footlights gets the impression much more vividly that the boy Is alive and a real person than from the novela. It is said. -!- -I- -I GIRLS, DOROTHY GISH LETS OPT A BIG SECRET. How to attract men. That ia a receipt that la forever sought by the fairer sex. What Is It? Well, If you Insist, here It Is.
