PAGE TWO OCHWAB THINKS STEEL MERGER WOULD BE 6000 Not Advocating It, However, Bethlehem President Tells Bankers at Ban- quet. NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—Charles M. Schwab, chairman of the Bethlehem Steel corporation, believes that the grouping of every steel company in thia country under one head would be ® good thing economically but in ex- presisng this opinion at a banquet of atate bankers Inat declared he was not advocating !t “ which he did not elaborate. He referred to the merger of the Lackawanna Steel company with the Bethlehem Steel as an illustration of what economies would be effected in overhead and other charges by com- bined operation. In the two months| of this combined operation between $1,000,000 and $1,500,000 had been saved, he sald, He predicted that the United States would be the workshop of he world and that the outlook for industry never was 80 good as at present. “Why should the banks discrimi- mate against the industrial securi- test” he asked. “They are founded on the ability and integrity of those who manage the tndustries; they are founded on the future of the country. All the money of the United States government will not be enough to sup- port the industry of the country in the future. “The greatest economy that can ‘ome to this country is doing business or banking on the largest scale posst- ble. I think the idea of the United States Stee! corporation, as originated with me, was an economic one, “When I entered business with Andy Carnegie ond Captain Bill Jones 40 years ago, the capacity of the country was $90 000 tons of steel per year. Today we th'nk we are not do- ing well un'ess we produce fifty mil- lon tons @ year and we have just be- NERO, ONE TIME KING OF JNZZ, FIDDLES 4 LITTLE WHILE ROME BURNS TODAY Femous fire scenes in theatrical history include the conflagration in “The Streets of New York,” “The Pheentx” and “The Exiles.” This last named drama had a fire scene} that created a sensation forty years| ago and was regarded as nothing short of marvelous. It was one of the first plays to use steam to rep- resent smoke, and ‘the whole effect | ‘was cleverly contrived to create the Musion of the destruction of a palace by flames. Offered to the soph’sticated audi- ences of today and it would prove more amusing than thrilling. The moving picture has educated its’ pa-| trons vp to the point where noth r« but the real thing in fire scenes will command their respect. While they do not demand any bodily harm to the actors, the only thing that will satisty them {1 to see the buring buildings actually burn. “Nero,” the William Fox super- special which opened at the America| theater today, should please them {in- burning of Rome is its wation and, judging from | reports, the producers huve succeeded | in their avowed intention of overtop- ping anything in the way of a fire scene ever shown on stage or screen. | Not only in the extent of the holo-| caust, but by the size and effective ness of the mobs of frightened and fleeing men and women, does this burning of Rome throw all other con- flagrations into the background. The scene where the wicked Em- Peror, standing upon a baloony of his palace, gloats over the destruction of the doomed city after he has given the orders for its burning, puts the finishing touch upon the horror of the situation. Taken individually, there 4s an appalling beauty about these fire scenes that holds the spectator spellbound. Directed by J. Gorton Béwards, “Nero” is revealed as a massive and thrilling production, splendidly staged in every detail and finely acted dy a cast composed of leading foreign and| American actors.
