16 BEST FILM AWARD CUT IN NEWSPRINT PRICE IS EXPECTED nounces Substantial Re- ductions. YEARWPUSED | Znternattonal Paper Company An- Producer Suggests Prizel for Movie Be Put on Pulitzer List. NEW YORK (#).—Means of making picture produced in the United States is to be given consideration by the com- mittee which now confers the Pulitzer prizes for the outstanding novel, poem, play, biography, newspaper story and newspaper editorial each year. ‘The establishment of such a prize was | urged by Samuel Goldwyn, motion pic- ture producer, in a letter to Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Colambia University and head of the advisory board of its School of Journalism, which makes the Pulitzer awards. Mr. Goldwyn has been advised that the suggestion will be brought before the Pulitzer group at its meeting next April. The award would be similar in its conditions and purposes to the Pu- litzer prizes, and Mr. Goldwyn has of- fered to see that funds for it are sup- plied if the Pulitzer group will take the responsibility for administering therm. “May I ask you,” the producer wrote Dr. Butler, “to consider a question that is coming continually more within the meaning and purpose of the founder in establishing the Pulitzer awards—I refer to the recognition of motion pictures as an art capable of exerting a profound influence for good upon the great mass of people. “It need hardly be pointed out that whereas a successful play reaches an audience of a few thousands in scat- tered large communities, an important motion picture finds audience num- bered into the millions that covers vir- tually every inhabited square mile of the | world. | “The creation of a fine motion pic- ture calls for an extreme degree of tal- ent. . ... The wording of the speci- fications that cover the annual award for the play which ‘has best represented the educational value and power of the stage in raising the standard of good morals, good taste and good manners’ is equally if not more adapted to the posi- tion of motion pictures in the world of the entertainment arts. * * * “A premium placed upon all that was ennobling and enlightening could not fail to exert a splendid influence upon the motion picture products made in this country. For the first time cur picture makers would be given some- thing to ponder upon other than mere ‘box office.”” JUDD GRAY-RUTH SNYDER INSURANCE TRIAL OPENS Company Contests $50,000 Policies and Seeks Annulment on Grounds of Deception. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 31.—Litigation over the insurance that figured in the Judd Gray-Ruth Snyder murder case last year went to trial yesterday before Supreme Court Justice Jeremiah T. Mahoney. ‘The Prudential Life Insurance Co. of America presented testimony in support of its contention thgt policies issued in ~he name of Albert E. Snyder, the mur- dered husband, should be annulled on the ground that the contract was not valid because Mrs. Snyder deceived her husband in taking out the insurance and making payments on it. Two policies are involved, one for $5,000 and the other for $45,000. The latter provides for a payment of double its face amount in case of accidental death. The suit is against Mrs. Josephine Brown, mother of Mrs. Snyder, and Ruth Lorainne Snyder, daughter of the executed slayer. For clean oil—Minute Service Fuel Oil is free from sediment and moisture.

BULLS AND BEARS To the man who has his capital invested in stocks, there is really nothing so con- ducive toward sleepless nights than a fluc- tuating market. Enjoy a full night's rest. Invest where the principal is safe. Where the yield is sure. 69, with safety is better than 609, maybe. In a way, this principle applies to clothes. For example, what are your thoughts when you pay $60 for a ready-made suit and shortly thereafter you see an exact dupli- cate in the window with a price-tag which reads—"‘Was $60—Now $32.50"? When you pay us $40 or moe for a custom tailored suit, you get quality fabric combined with expert tailoring, and that suit will always, in all ways, be worth the purchase price.

Apparently, the car takes all of their clothes money—which is rather silly! ‘You wear your clothes more hours each day than you do your car. More people see you iz person than in motor. The first and most valuable impression you make depends upon your gppearance, not your agutomobile. ; A well-dressed man is a well-dressed man, nomatter what kind of acar he drives. A smartly dressed woman mierits atten- tion and respect. She dresses up the car, but the car doesn’t dress up the woman. Be clothes-conscions as well as car-conscions! i gets you more! People in dowdy clothes who drive around in a smart car make a very poor impression. They advertise their own bad management! : After all, if you can afford a new car, you can afford new clothes. You can buy the clothes just as you did the car, only more easily—on deferred payments. If your credit is good for a new car, it’s good for new clothes with us! THERE are fifty-six Goldman stores in large cities east of the Mississippi; not little inconspicuous “chain” stores in out of the ‘way locations, but big, busy, bean~ tiful stores, on the high-rent streets— stores that are a credit to any city. These stores serve almost a million customers every year, the most particular clothing buyers in the world! They demand style from Goldman stores—and they getit. When a new mode appears in New York, it also appears in Goldman Stores at the same time—months ahead of other local stores. They demand value—and get it.
