THE GERMANS ON HOLIDAY.

Butturekend! Herrlich. Wunderschön!

The peerless beauty spots of Sicily ring today with the guttural accent of the Germnu tourist, writes. Valentine Wi- liams in the thily Mail. Gernians of all classes, and, not of the Schieber, the proftres, type alone, as in the first years after the war, have allowed themselves the luxury of the long and expensive Journey from termany and have de scended in a swarm upon the island.

f the great hotels, as in the cheap pensions, the Germans outnumber the visitors of all other nationalties; they have swamped the accommodation of the trains de bare to "Naples and Rome for the homeward journey; and for their tours about the island many of them" engage privatë, vary. American friends of mine declined to hire a car to travel the 200 odd miles from Palermo to Taormina because they found the price demanded, 2,000 lire, about 17 10. excessive; bat the Germans pay this price all the time.

One is therefore spared the tiresome practice of the travelling German of thrusting his acquaintanceship upon all and sundry in order to improve his knowledge of foreign tongues; and most of the insufferable and provocative man bounce has evaporated, The staurant Euters of some of these wealthy Cernur tourists are rather har to bear, until one has accustomed one- self to the sight of ussiduous tooth-pick drill between the courses; and the way in which at one place a German honey moon couple pawed each other about in public did more credit to their affection. than to their discretion, i

QUEEN'S THEATRE.

As the hero of a circus, Jackie Coogan, La barchack riding clown, is the envy of. all small boys this week in his new First National picture, "Ċireus Days," showing for the last time to-day at the Queen's Theatre. Incidentally,, Jackie got just na much fun out of his role as any real boy, given a similar opporta ity, -might be expected to enjoy.

He has the stellar role of Toby Tyler, who runs away from the farm of an overbearing uncle and obtains a job as
