GERMAN IN LONDON Si 'ItNFS NOT REPEATED (Elcc. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) LONDON. Sept. 2D. There were several cries or'- '‘Hail Hitler!” at the Nlutfleslnny Tliealre. wlieii the German . actor, Werner Krauss, who had been given a hostile reception on the opening night, was well received on the second perform; r<nee of ‘‘Before Sunset,” and there was no disturbance.
At the end of, the performance the iictor appeared before the footlights, the curtain rising and falling rapidly', the company apparently fearing missiles. A few dissentients cried ‘‘Go hack ro Germany!” hut they were quickh silenced. Krauss advanced to the footlights leading rite producer, Mr Scott, by the hand, and embraced him. Mr Scott, who was most nervous, announced;
“Ladies and gentlemen. Bringing Krauss to London is the best I can ever do for the English theatre.” There was tremendous applause when the curtain finally fell, partly as a tribute to the magnificent, acting of Krauss, and partly due to English sportsmanship seeking to make amends for the previous night.
