Not far from the Thorn-Prikker
Chapel is the Marionetten Theatre,
brought from Munich by Prof. Braun,
and affording another proof of the
general turning of art toward primitive
avenues of expression. Here again
one finds opportunity to exereise the
imagination made heavy by a long
course of realism. Prof. Braun has,
however, very cleverly estimated the
agility of the publie mind, fattened and
stiffened and needing much help in the
mildest of fmaginative flights. The
marionettes as he creates or recreates

Of course this competent mechanism
is all that solicits yon as von sit in the
decbrated box of a room absorbed in
the puppets, dipping and kneeling and
skipping and nodding, embracing, be¬
