THEATRES REOPENED IN WAR-TORN COUNTRIES TO LIGHTEN SORROWS {EDITOR'S NOTE—This ar tlele concludes Victor Morgan's series on “What Going on in Germany.”) BY VICTOR MORGAN Reditor of The Cleveland Press (Copyright, 1918, by the Newspaper Enterprise Association) Since my return from Eurepe T have received a huge number ef questions from readers on points which they say have not been touched upon in the ar tleles. Some of these questions I can- Not answer, as, for Instance, that of “Collinwood Observer,” who asks, “Now that you have been over there, tell us how long the war will last.” Here are some of the questions that I have been able to answer: eee Are the theatres closed in German cities as a ‘result of the war? Im the early part of the war the | theatres ware closed, but now all are open. They are largely patron ized. Al dance halls, however, are closed. eee How do the Germans get rubber YOU'RE BILIOUS!
