So Mr. Spoffard said that we really ought to go to the theater in
Munchen because even the theater in Munchen was full of kunst. So we
looked at all of the bills of all of the theaters, with the aid of
quite an intelectual hotel clerk who seemed to be able to read it and
tell us what it said, because it really meant nothing to us. So it
seems they were playing Kiki in Munchen, so I said, let us go and see
Kiki because we have seen Lenore Ulric in New York and we would really
know what it is all about even if they do not seem to talk the English
landguage. So then we went to the Kunst theater. So it seems that
Munchen is practically full of Germans and the lobby of the Kunst
theater was really full of Germans who stand in the lobby and drink
beer and eat quite a lot of Bermudian onions and garlick sausage and
hard boiled eggs and beer before all of the acts. So I really had to
ask Mr. Spoffard if he thought we had come to the right theatre because
the lobby seemed to smell such a lot. I mean when the smell of beer
gets to be anteek it gets to smell quite a lot. But Mr. Spoffard seemed
to think that the lobby of the Kunst theatre did not smell any worse
than all of the other places in Munich. So then Dorothy spoke up and
Dorothy said “You can say what you want about the Germans being full of
‘kunst,’ but what they are really full of is delicatessen.”
So then we went into the Kunst theater. But the Kunst theater does not
seem to smell so good as the lobby of the Kunst theater. And the Kunst
theater seems to be decorated with quite a lot of what tripe would look
like if it was pasted on the wall and gilded. Only you could not really
see the gilding because it was covered with quite a lot of dust. So
Dorothy looked around and Dorothy said, if this is “kunst,” the art
center of the world is Union Hill New Jersey.
