Mr. Uldall is a student of the Uni versity of Copenhagen, a^id is a mem ber of the crew ol' the Duttish steamer, Newa, which arrived in p3t>t ten days overdue Wednesday, after a thrilling 37-day voyage, which was marred by,a storm lasting a month. This was the first ocean voyage of the young Dane, and to say that he was sea sick would be only to say that he saw, the sea. “The girls here are all painted," he told a reporter, and when asked how they compared with the girls of his own country, his blue eyes sparkled, as he said in a proud manner, “In Den mark. the girls have the same rosy j checks, but they are natural, not paint ed." j “Do they have bobbed hair in Den- ] mark?’ he waj asked. “Yes, many of the girls at home have bobbed hair, but not so much as over | here,” he said. “The American girls } Gertie’s Garter Pleases An Immense Crowd Two Hundred Turned Away; To Be Repeated Today.

France and Bel gium, confining his writings chiefly to diplomatic news. He reported that his first observa tions of American life have convinced him that customs over here are widely different from those in his homeland. ‘‘There are fewer drunkards over here than at home, hut, nevertheless, I am opposed to prohibition,” he said. The young student is traveling for his health, it was learned aboard the Newa, but .Mr. Uldall simply explained this by saying. “As I have nothing to do at home at this time. I decided to take a chance and come out and see the world.” ^ ‘Wilmington is a very beautiful town, but it has no music halls,” he said, ex plaining that in Denmark there are nu merous halls where the folks gather during the afternoon and evenings. “I witnessed "Adam and Eve” at the the atre this afternoon.” he said, and on being informed that it was “Gertie’s Garter." not “Adam and Eve,” showing, lie exclaimed: “Oh. yes.” t-^ There wax a nice fellow named Bob, Who w«n temporarily out of a job; But he does not look solemn For the.
