BERLIN IS KEPT ‘PEPPED UP' BY HITLER PARADES Dozens of Bands, Thousands of Nazis in Uniform Strut in Streets. Fnllowinr I* <h third nt nrrif* f ■ I’tlcle* hr Milton Bronnrr. London rorrrtpondrnt of Xrtmpaprr F.ntorprWe Asaoriatlon. trlllnr of hi* recent trip throuth tierman eltie,. BY MILTON BRONNER NEA Service Writer LONDON, April 19— Almost everybody likes a parade. And Adolf Hitler, as German dictator, is seeing that Berlin has plenty of them. Not only by day, but occasionally at night, when great torchlight processions are staged, dozens of Nazi bands lead thousands of uniformed men marching beneath a sea of waving banners. Then, as a regular parade diet, every Monday and again every Thursday, a police band marches through Unter den Lindon, followed by platoons of pdlice and Nazi auxiliaries. On the surface all seeems normal and peaceful in Berlin. The streets are crowded here as in other larger cities. Many Buy in Jewish Shops The only difference in the usual animated picture is to be found in the marked presence of the Nazi Brown Shirts. Many people are still patronizing the big Jewish shops despite the recent one-day boycott, and despite the daily excited antiSemitic attacks appearing in AngrifT, the paper conducted by Minister of Propaganda Goebbels. There are no visible signs of fear or nervousness. There has, however, been a noticeable cessation of street fighting between Nazis and Communists, owing to the complete domination of the former. There now are only occasional outbreaks in the slum quarters of various cities, and these soon are put down. Many Germans say the streets are safer than at any other time in fourteen years. One of the most marked changes to be found in the German citizen is in his disinclination to discuss politics. As in Italy, where Mussolini or his policies never are discussed, publicly, the German of today will not discuss Hitler or the Nazi government with those whom he may meet in public.

White Light District Gay Kurfuerstendamm, Berlin’s white light district, blazes with lights by night, with bands and orchestras playing and night club women singing. At the famous Haus Vaterland, where each vast room typifies various sections of Germany by scenic effects, bands, waiters and menus, I found only three rooms fairly crowded. The rest were almost empty. Jewish residents who formerly were the best spenders here, were conspicuous by their absence. One restaurant, in the arcade off Unter den Linden, displays a sign that it is a pure German house and has a Nazi band as a daily attraction. In the big hotel dining rooms and in famous restaurants, where before the war, monocled Prussian officers were once conspicuous, a frequent sight now is that of codtless Nazi officers, their Sam Brown belts strapped over their brown shirts, with a revolver swinging from tire hip. Shops Sell Hitler Photos Small shops throughout Berlin recall the early Fascist days in Italy, their windows being filled with cheap pictures and medallions of Hitler, as well as numerous books and pamphlets, the product of Nazi authors whose works were rushed into print. Early adherents of Hitler have opened shops where they specialize in the sale of Nazi uniforms, insignia medals, banners and pictures. They are doing a good business. Mediocre plays are to be found at the theaters. At the movies one finds films approved by the Nazis. These tell stories of how Germany triumphed over France in 1870 and of how Germany fought the World war. The windup is usually a picture of Hitler and his storm troops. Meantime, the police or Nazi auxiliaries raid the poor Jewish quarters almost daily. The raids are declared to be searches for arms and forbidden papers and literature. ■ Hitler Extremely Busy The amusement of the moment for idlers in Berlin seems to be to stand for hours on Wilhelmstrasse in the hope of catching a glimpse of Hitler or Hindenburg as they pass by. Hitler is becoming almost as invisible as Hindenburg. He is perhaps che hardest working man in Germany. He lives, mairrly, in the Chancellery on Wilhelmstrasse. where he receives deputation after deputation of doctors, farmers, Nazi business leaders to whom he lias intrusted the key positions of the country, correspondents and others. He does not drink or smoke, is said ti have no inclination toward conviviality. The telegraph lines of Germany are owned by the government. Ail news dispatches filed on these lines, therefore, are seen by government officials, but dispatches are not usually held up, or deleted, unless there is some direct attack upon the government. The general run of dispatches, representing straight reporting of facts, are being passed. I was told Next—Hamburg and the Hitler anti-Jew campaign.

Hard Language Version j' of ‘Front Page’ Used Walter Jackson, Jayne Hoffman and Norman Buchan Give the Best Performances in Civic Theater Cast. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN THE strong or dirty language version of "The Frpnt Page” is being used by the Civic Theater as its latest offering at the Playhouse. Members of the cast are called upon to call this character or that | character a so and so with all the adjectives. I lam going on record again by stating that lam not interested in ! a character calling another character a dirty so and so. I Even after this play opened in New York there were certain eliminations made along these strong language lines which aided the show and placed it more in character. When it was done as a road show attraction in this city several years

years ago, many of the so and sos were treated with a purifying treatment before the words were uttered. "The Front Page,” is a tough job for any Little or Civic Theater to undertake. This play calls for a lot of business and above all it calls for types. In the first act, Hale Mac Keen, the director has done pretty well with the newspaper types as to actions but not conversation or “business” of acting. i His grouping of reporters is well done, but Mac Keen has not speeded : the action of conversation to meet the action of business. The second act near its climax gets fire and dramatic sweep when i Walter Jackson enters as Walter Burns. Then things begin to hap- | pen and the play takes on real action. The same is true when Jayne Hoffman as Mollie Malloy, the convict's sweetheart, arrives on the | scene. The same is true when Norman Buchan as Sheriff Hartman ! really gets going. In the first act i last night, Buchan was not so convincing but when he got his hat off, he started to make good and convincing theater. The cast, which is a large one, is as follows: Wilson. American Tom Mahaffev Endicott. Post Willard Shull Murphy. Journal Eugene M'Manamon McCue. City News Bureau. Horace F. Hill Egan.
