Is there to be a reversal of the old order of things
in furniture as in nearly everything else these days?
Must the home have something new and exclusive?
Having specialized in such furnishings for many years,
we are in position to judge; and we can unhesitatingly
state that this is the decided trend today. Not before
in years has there been such a demand for the "dif-
ferent" in occasional pieces, suites, and complete in-
terior furnishings. Fortunately, we are in the unusual
position of handling only lines of this character, so that
the variety of selection is such that arty desire may be
gratified—and at far less cost than you probably imag-
ine. Come in and see these lovely things. There is
no obligation.

GERMAN ELECTIONS
PRODUCE NO BALM

Uncertain Position of Jews Remains
Unaltered.
BERLIN.—(J. T. A.)—Although R
is generally believed that the present
democratic government will remain in
power, the result of the last elections
have put the Jews in an unceratin
position. The fact that the German
nationalist Party won 100 seats and
the Voelkische Partei, the right wing
and most reactionary and anti-Semi-

tic part of the Nationalist Party, won
30 scats, as well as the winning of a
considerable number by the Kunze
group, whose election slogan was
"Outlaw the Jews" would lead to the
expectation that the German Reich-
stag will, in the near future, hear
many heated discussions of the Jew-
ish question.
The situation of the Eastern Jews
is particulaly uncertain because of the
fact that the slogan "Expel the East-
ers Jews" was a popular one with sev-
eral groups.
It is n noteworthy fact that none

of the bourgeois parties had Jewish
candidates on their tickets. The only
Jews elected were Bernstein, Hitter&
ings, Rosenfeld, Levi, Simon, Mrs.
Senders and Moses, on the Socialist
ticket, and Ruth Fischer on the Com-
munist.
Kunze, who has been nicknamed
"Kneuepfel Kunze" because of the
fact that he put on the market rub-
her tipped whips for the special use
of anti-Semites on Jews, was among
the elected. Dr. Arthur Dinter, an-
other well-known anti-Semite, failed
of election.

Summer Music.

ended its third season of popular
Sunday noon symphony concerts, the
occasion being marked by the aug-

of an exceptionally imposing pro-

Louis Mann Reveals Dramatic
Power in Comedy Classic
"Give and Take."

Louis Mann, one of America's fa-
mous character artists co-starring
this season with George Sidney in
Aaron lloffman's comedy classic,
"Clive and Take," coming to the Gar-
rick Theater the week beginning Sun-
day, May 18, is an actor of talen and
versatility. Mr. Mann's success has
been divided among musical comedy,
drama and a brief (lip in vaudeville.
In "Give and Take" Mr. Mann has
a character in "Hard-Boiled" Bauer,
the factory owner, which is said to
be entirely different from anything
he ever attempted. It gives the ster-
ling actor an opportunity to display
his dramatic ability and well does Mr.
Mann grasp the full intent and pur-
pose of his part.
