NATIONAL SELF INDICTMENT IS BRGEDJJN HUNS Cruelty of Treaty Only Brought on by Own Practices, Says Foerster. V fBy Associated Prasa) BERLIN, Aug. 28. Professor F. W. Foerster, Bavarian Minister to Switzerland, recommends an "honest national self-indictment" for the Germans. Writing in the Tageblatt on the quentions of war guilt and the conduct of the war, he says: "We must investigate our own part In this world brutalizing process quite as much as we should our opponents abroad. "Not until then are we able to understand the Paris decision as the tragic result of our own national guilt. The ruthless cruelty with which we were treated we ourselves practiced in the occupied territory. Should Understand Resentment. "Who ever has the slightest conception of the rigorous measures we adopted in the treatment of prisoners and the systematic destruction cf industrial plants and the deportation of thousands of young girls will readily understand the resntment of the French people. "We must be perfectly clear in our own minds in respect of our own guilt If we are to be born again nationally. We must always remember that, while the whole world is practicing the politics of might, we on the other hand have systematized the politics of might and elevated it to a -new political philosophy."

The alcoholic ward at the Philadelphia general hlgpital. In which in 1918 there were 2,326 drunkards cared for, has been finally closed.

Constance Maybrldge was an orphan living in a small city In the middle west. She supported herself by acting as stenographer for Mr. Goldman, one of the largest real estate dealers there, who was also the owner of the only motion picture show In the town. Being like most young girls, she liked the "movies" and being in Mr. Goldman's employ she learned a great deal about the producing end of the business. This one picture theatre of which the town boasted was an old madeover store, a regular hole in the wall, called Dreamland. The se'ats were just plain hard benches painted red with no arm-rests and often so "high from the floor that there was no footrest either. It had never been a paying proposition. Many were the men who had tried to make money with it. Mr. Goldman was Just about to give up. He was going to sell the fixtures and rent the place for a store. Now since Constance liked the "movies" she decided that the town simply had to have at least one, and so she approached Mr. Goldman with a plan. She asked him if he would be willing to help her start one. She had learned a great deal about

booking; she was a fan herself and i went often enough to know what the j

people liked, and besides that she was sure that a city of the size of this ought to be able to support not only one but two or three such neighbor

hood theatres. Mr. Goldman said no !

very emphatically. He declared he had lost enough money on "that old lemon," as he called the place. Formed Company. Constance, however, was not easily discouraged, and she asked him if he would be willing to give her the use of the theatre as his share towards the forming of a company If she could get enough other business men to forward some real money. Mr. Goldman readily agreed, not because he approved of the plan, but because he though c that she would not be able to interest anyone in her project. She did interest two men, much to his surprise, although neither of them would advance much money. Constance decided that she would have to get along with what they gave her, but she insisted that she have full authority in its expenditure. After many conferences this was finally agreed upon, and the City Amusement company came into being with Mr. Goldman as the president and Constance Maybrldge as the secretary and treasurer. The first thing Constance did was to clean up Dreamland. She had it redecorated and refitted throughout and when she finished there was an attractive though small lobby and waiting room furnished in wicker and gay cretonnes. The inside of the theatre was finished in soft shades and soft lights lent a cheery air which had never been present before. Before the opening. night there was not a person in the city who did not know that Dreamland was to

open under new management and with a popular new picture. Placarded Stores. Constance had placards in every store window in the city and not traly that but she had an added attraction, a gypsy dance by some of the popular younger girls of the town. The picture was the story of a gypsy girl and Constance had arranged the gypsy dance as a fitting introduction for the picture. Of course, the first night was a huge success. What Constance did to keep the people coming would fin a book. She introduced children's matinees where children accompanied by their parents were admitted free; she had contests for deciding the most popular screen actor and actress; she often introduced little prologues or sketches which had some bearing on the picture and always local talent took part in these specialties,' and she always advertised in the local paper and with the merchants in the vicinity. From the very first night her theater was a success. Bought Bigger Theater After the Dreamland had run for two years Constance thought that tha city ought to have another, a larger and better theater, and so the City Amusement Company bought through its president, Mr. Goldman, a largj old building which had been a storage company, and made it over into a first-class picture theater. Constance Maybrldge became the manager of the new theater also. She followed practically the same plan

with her new show as she had with the old one, only on a larger scale. She .introduced all of the newest ideas which she heard or read about, one being the nursery room where mothers might leave their babies while they went in to see the pictures.

After the new theater opened Constance Sad to leave her position as secretary to Mr. Goldman, for her two theaters took all of her time. When she started working for Mr. Goldman eight years before sh had earned ten dollars a week. After she had been in the motion picture business two years she wa3 earning eighty-five dollars a week, besides having stock in the City Amusement Company. Constance thought that if the city could support two picture shows it ought to be able to support a legitimate theater, and so she urged the Amusement company to build a regular theater which would accommodate stock companies, vaudeville artists or even opera. The company was not ready to do this as they had been to start the second picture theater. Their town had never had a real. show house becauso it was so near a large metropolitan city that everybody who went to the theater merely took the trolley in. It took Constance a year to convince the men that the town wanted and

needed a regular theater, but finally the theater was built, and today It is making as much money as either of the two picture houses. Constance Maybrldge now haa tho distinction of being one of the firs': women exhibitors In the country, the only one in her section of the country, and she is manager and part owner of the only three amusement houses in her town. She is doing a man's job, but it seems to have been the feminine touch which she gave her theaters which made them popular from the beginning. She claims that there is no need for any picture show being a "dirty, smelly hole to the wall," and that a bit of paint and cretonne will work wonders not only In the theater but in the box office receipts also.
