t . BERLIN, Jan. If Munich
theater-goers art still touchy on the
subject of America, v1t appears, trom
an incident just reported hre. .
The Neue Berliner Zeitung tells
how an audience in the Bavarian capi
tal fairly raised the roof in objecting
to the American background and
AmerJcan names being used in a new
theatrical production. They hooted
and hissed and stamped, and finally
the performance was brought to a
atop. .
The authorities, when the manager
was brought before them, forbade
him producing the play until the
scenes were placed - in - some other
country than the United States. The
versatile producer readily complied
and laid his scenes in the Caucasus.
The name of cnt character was char
ged from "Sruth" to "Smirski"
and that of Gladys Chicago, Dollar
Princess, terMarsha Petrograd, Mil
lionaire's Daughter."
The metamorphosed play was a
success. '

was charged by the prosecution that Ar

police court hearing followed and the
cumodiau was held to the superior court
cm a charge of manslaughter.
An autopsy on Miss Happe's body
Unclosed that her death resulted from u

by Arbuckle.
