American Jazz
Makes Big Hit In

Our Musical Comedies Beftw

On dther Side Since

By FRANK E. MASON. ,
International Nfws Pmvle Staff Corre
spondent. Berlin, Oct 30. Ten years ago
America paid fancy prices for atand
, inc room to see imported European
musical comedies; today Europe
turns eagerly to America for the
latest jar. hit An American musi
cal comedy will back a European
shout off the boards.
"The war taught New York pro
ducers that American composers and
playwrights can write better musi
cal comedies than we can bring oyer
frorn Europe," declares Gustave Am
berg of New York, who is purchas
ing European plays and operettas
for the Shubert theatrical interests.
Mr. Amberg should know; for he
has been importing European shows
into the United States for the past
25 years. "We learned that the war
.substitute made in America, is bet
ter than the imported article.".
New" York Succeeds Vienna.
Vienna was the world's capital of
operetta before the war. There is
every indication that New York has
succeeded to the title. Negotiations
are under way which will remove
Vienna's last claims, for Americans
are arranging to (take Lehar, Oscar
Strauss,- Leo Fall and Kalmann to
the United States.
Vienna musical comedies were given
are arranging to Wke Lehear. Oscar
en the acid test during the war. and
they showed up anything but well
Some of the big Austrian hits were
smuggled i
o Mew York and pro
duced as American compositions.
-vJhorn of the glamour of their for
eign titles and of the names of their
farhpus foreign composers the pro
ductions failed. '
Kalmann's latest piece, "The Hol
land Maiden," which is playing to
standing room in the big Metropol
theater", Berlin, and. promises to be
the season's hit, is a striking exam
ple of the reason why Vienna oper
etta can't compete with New York.
'As to originality the story of Hol
land Maiden is the world's oldest,
most venerable bewniskered, musical
comedy plot It is the story- of the
opera Martha. Waltz Dream. Count
of Luxemburg and a dozen others;
royalty, a forced marriage, rebellions
. p ince and princess, runaway, prince
and princess disguise themselves as
ordinary folks and fall in Jove any
way, f
v American jazz has captured' allied
-countries and has a thorough foot-
hold in neutral lands.In Copenha
gen and The. Hague you will hear
the latest American ragtime. Jazz
is making its way among our recent
enemies as rapidly as their cheap
ened money will permit them to pay
for it.
Old Chestnuts Popular.
In Berlin you will pay a whole
pocketful of marks or about SIS in
... real money to dance to "Moonlight
Bay," or "I Want to Be in Dixie."
" The European has not yet been;
trained up to the point of the Amer- j
ican'a discust for last month's hit.
which is this month's aggravation.
A good one-step, especially when jt
j it is genuine American ragtime, re
mains a good one-step even if it is
entitled "Wait Till the Sun Shines
Nellie." . ' r - .
Until her death Gaby Deslys, in
Marseilles and fans made you pay
prices that would make a Broadway
scalper blush and hold his breath to
listen to French words sung to
American music, none of which was
newer than four or five years old.
Much of the European attempt to
render American ragtime reminds
one of the highbrow music teacher
who never played anything less
than Liszt in her life, but who will !
gingerly attempt a , piece of the .
despised 10-ceht-store music just to .
please the company present. Your 1
'American jazz souP recognizes the!
music, but you squirm at reaving
your favorite set of Mississippi or
Missouri ' Blues daintily tricked off
the piano like a delicate minuet,
-v, Europe will not have, reeal jazz,
however, until it introduces the saxo
phone, unknown here, and the slide
trombone player, with the palsied
, hand. It is making progress, how
evcr for the trap drummer is getr
ting more resourceful and he scrapes
and pounds and foots in quite the
approved fashion.

Service.
' 1 1
Denver, Oct .30.-rFollowing two
successful seasons, difrinp which'
Miss Helen Dowe, pretty Denvci
girl, i in her. capicity of forest firc
lookout, has discovered more than
a score of incipient blazes. Nation
al forest service ' officials are con
vinced that women are equally as
efficient as men in the art of 'chas
ing down the tiny wisps of smoke
that sometimes lead to serious con-,
flagrations in the thickly wooded
districts of the Kocky mountains.
Miss Dowe is the only member of
her sex in the United States who
holds the position of forest fire
lookout, but scores of a,pplicatious
from women for similar positions are
on file with forest service officials
here, and it is expected the record
achieved by Miss Dowe may lead
to the appointment of many more
of the fair sex to this rather hazard
ous occupation.
from June until late October Miss
Dowe lives on the summit of Devil's
Head peak. 9.300 feet above sea level
65 miles southwest of Denver. .
, A Lonely Vigil.'
From sunrise to sunset she scans
the horizon, sweeping the thousands
of acres of forest lands beneath her
with powerful field glasses, con
stantly alert for the' least sign ot
smoke, which often means the birth
of the terror of the timber country
the forest fire.
While it is a lonely vigil that 'Miss
Dowe keeps, forest service officials
declare the work has advantages and
compensations that no ther' employ
ment affords. From her lofty-Station,
Miss Dowe has1 a remarkable
view of the -grandeur cf the Rockies
with its highly-colored vistas; OTi,a
clear day she can even see the dome
of, the state capitol in JJenver, and
by night the myriad of brilliant
lights of the city are in plain sight
, Strenuous1 Work..
It is no summer vacation that Miss
Dowe enjoys, However; witness
some of her strenuous duties:
She must arise before the sun
every morning; she must make ob
servations periodically until dark
ness, v - -
ness.
There are no Sundays or holidays
"off." Occasionally, immediately
after, a heavy downpour of raiiwor
when clouds obscure the, earth ie
low, she ge,ts a brief respite.

Si
early insummer, Miss Dowe must
cook ker own meajs; perform all the
work necessary to keep hti cabin
and lookout station in repair; she
must chop her pwn firewood; she
must carry her own water, and
oftentimes during the dry season it
must be conveyed in water bags for
a long distance up the mountain
side. - . y
In 1919 Miss Dowe discovered
16 incipient forest fires in thefike
rational rforest. This vigilaijce en
abled forest rangers to extinguish
blazes before they got fairly started
on their path pf destruction.
This year she has discovered
seven fires before the first of July.
Since that time, summer rains have
prevented fires from gaining any
ieadway, but during October Miss
uowe's work will require great dili
gence, as careless campers, leaving
after the summer season, often start
fires to burn rubbish that auickly
spread to the timber.
Through an extensive system of
communication established by the
National Forest service, Miss Dowe
is enabled to immediately communi
cate by telephone to forest rangers
the location of a blaze. Instantly
they are off to fight the fire before
it can get well started.
Twice this summer Miss Dowe
has painted the lookout station
where she is on duty, a feat that re
quires steady nerve and extreme
daring, as the cabin is perched on
the vey edge of a dizzy cliff at the
hiountaui-top. 1
Previous to assuming her duties
as forest fire lookout, Miss Dowe
was a Denver newspaper woman. : '
