There are interestng possibilities in the year ahead, the institute adds. In each case the cross currents are too dif- ficult of exact appraisal ahead to war- rant more than a resume of possibilities. There is, first, not only the possibility but the probability of & stronger bond market given an approach to a solution of the Government's fiscal problem. The future of stock prices is linked so close- ly with the business trend that the course of the one must anticipate or proceed hand in hand with the course of the other. Considering the deflated levels of prices in general, the appear- ance of a business expansion even of moderate proportions should be ac- companied by a rise of stock prices, and the initial stages of any rise are not unlikely to be sharp and of the char- acter witnessed in the late Summer re- covery, the forecast says. Week Pleases Local Financiers. During the past few days Washing- ton bankers and brokers have been watching the big financial markets with intense interest to see if there would be any marked change in the first week of the new year. Stocks have been stronger; bonds have held their strength. While it takes more than one week to indicate a trend, so far the new year has brought more cheer than had been anticipated. The increase in Washington and else- where in bank clearings this week caused considerable gratification as an indication of greater business activity. ‘There has also been a fairly satisfac- tory turncver of sscurities on the Wash- ington Stock Exchange. Many local banks and other corpora- tions have paid semi-annual or quar- terly dividends during the past few days, the total for all these institulions running into large figures. Retail trade 1s reported up to expactations. ‘Wilkins Co. Votes Divide: The directors of the John H.

A year ago it stood at §1.87. | resenting 1 the able tutelage of Director Frank Borzage—for making this the most effective love story ever screened. The wording is concise £nd accurate the war scenes are brutal when it is necessary for them to bz so—ard while it is not possible to duplicate some of the fierce and coarze chap- ters of the original. it has been pos- sible to retain much of the tender- ness and the cynical sentimentality and that spirit of chivalry which is built up in both the leading char- acters. Romance has had a pretty tough time heretofore on the screen. But in this it is treated so skilfully that even in the last tragic stages it is not heaped high with over-expres- sive sentiment. Here the producers have been wise in leaving in Mr. Hemingway's own words. Little “cin- ema” is added—except the shading given by the director, the words as spoken with heartrending sincerity by Miss Hayes and that final burst of sunrise which surrounds the two players as they are saying their last say to each other. The film has much that no other film has ever had before. Its beauty is not strictly pictorial, its actors are not strictly handsome, its cnd- ing is far from “and they lived hap- pily ever after.” In each of these matters true fecling and the beauty of intense living and intense devo- tion supplant the superficial gloss of the story. Mr. Hemingway did not write this for the movies, o neces- sarily some of the strength of his pen is lost. But the movies have been generous in their imitation of him—and they have done all they can to retain his vigor and his peculiarly brutzl charm. Helen Hayes' performance must be seen to be appreciated. It is un- questionably the new season’s most perfect characterization. And Gary Cooper breaks the ice that has been surrounding him all these vears and becomes as soft and as pliable and as human as no one ever thought he could b2. Of them all, only Adolph Menjou doesn’t quite reem to fit his shoes. The story need not be told. It is war and it 13 life—and it is, of course, very sad. Say to yourself as you enter the theater, “If you have tears, prepare to shed them now.” And if you haven't—uwell, then we're wrong. E. de S. MELCHER. “Evenings for Sale,” Comic Opera Story, at Fox. ¢ JIVENINGS FOR SALE" at “ Loew's Fox this week, is a comic opera story filmed without es- pecial benefit either of comedy or of opera. An impoverithed Viennese nobleman plans to kill himself the night before his ancestral castle is to be sold at auction, but changes his mind in favor of a final fling at a masque ball. There, of course. he meets the heroine of this drama. ‘The count decides to live. Offered a job by Heroine Lela’s father, a prosperous leather mer- chant, who must have sold most of his leather to ex-noblemen for food, the count replies: “What, accept a job as charity? Never.” ‘Thereupon he resolves to earn an honest living as a gigolo at a night club run by his former butler and his ex-valet. A rich American widow appears on the unhappy scene at this point, buys the count’s castle and has the good sense to refuse to marry him despite his polite offer of matri- With the castle converted ent house, the count becon¥es the manager and rushes off to marry his true love. Through the dilatory and dis- jointed episodes of this masterpiece wanders a cast of bright comedians who ought to be able to make the telephone beok funny. They are so appalled, however, when confronted with clumsy fripperies and blunder- ing attempts to achieve the Lubitsch touch that they play their roles like a lot of mediums (or me per- haps) catching up on their trance- works. Herbert Marshall makes the Count a sophisticated wooden Indian. As the American widow, Mary Boland struggles bravely to be amusing at first, finally lapsing into the gloomy beredom which envelops the re- mainder of the cast. Sari Maritza, as Lela, cxpresses the nine necessary emotions of a program _picture heroine by pulling her upper lip back from her teenth like a playful colt. Apparently less annoyed with the story than the others, Charles Ruggles makes a fair success of the part of Bimful, the batty butler. Such comedy as is around belongs to_him On the vaudeville stage, the prestidigitator Nicola does some dis- appearing acts, which make Russell Sherwood and Judge Crater obvious as Grant's Tomb. Lita Grey Chaplin has no great success with her song numbers, although the “Subway Blues” possesses possibilities. Britt Wood and his harmonica seemed to lead the field in ensnaring the au- fancy.

He reveals a new sense of humor and enthusiasm for the physical hazards of life. He accepts the challenge of the com- mon foe with a z:st which leaves no room for more subtle affairs, and marches into dangerous ambushes with complete assurance. He has & new type of dignity. but it is the quality that goes with the feeling that he can master any situation involving those foes who are so careless of human life. He wins the chosen partner of the chief of the plotters, and gives force to some very interesting scenes. Miss Gibson is no less active in the development of the drama, for her role is one of human character in the midst of, the turmoil of dan- gerous living. | She is required to display the strategy of the woman who conciliates the bad. but re- mains loyal to the worthwhile. Vivacity and conviction are offered in her playing. and she proves to be a fitting partner of the chief of the cast. James Gleason and Lois Wilson also contribute to the success of the picture, and one of ths inci- dental features is the work of Dickie Moore of the “Our Gang” aggrega- tion, whose conspicuous part as a child who is temporarily crushed under speeding wherls is as credit- able a bit as he ever done. Allan Dinehart, as the man without conscience, has been provided with an excellent opportunity for good acting. The stage performance at the Earle is one of considerable merit, with the high point attained by Alexander Gray and Bernice Claire. They are not only presented on the stage in person. but also appear in a substantial musical film, with a theme built arcund “The Song of the Desert.” In both instances they are assisted by an excellent chorus, and their own singing is of notable quality. supplying melody and their particular operatic_touch. Jack Pepper’s act is a continuous feast of comedy and music. with a trio of essistants who are given the freedom of the stage. notwithstand- ing the personal popularity of their leader. Walter Dare Wahl, assisted by Emmett Oldfield. furnishes bur- lesque and strong-arm acrobatics to be classed with the best of such feats. Bernice Stone and Matt Gib- bons, with four dancing associates, are dancers and singers with an excellent series of single, double and erisemble features and emphasis on physical feats. D. C. C. “The Death Kiss,” Presented At Columbia Theater. VI ¥STERY with a touch of scien- tific research is heightened by wood studio, which is shown on the screen at the Columbia Theater. The play has the benefit of an excellent company, with some fine roles for David Man- ners, Adriepne Ames and Bela Lu- gosi. The film colony also touches the comedy of the week, which is a Lloyd Hamilton production. Murder as a basis for drama colors the entire story of the feature film, and the werk of David Manners in proving the innocence of the young woman, the part played by Miss Ames, shows this actor in a role which adds to his record of effective participation in motion pictures. ~ Unofficizlly interesting himself in a mysterious slaying, which has been made possible by the use of firearms in the creation of a Hollywood picture, he has a more masterful touch than has been made possible for him in the past, and is more of an exponent of action than custcmary. His equip- ment for such action is clearly demonstrated, and “The Death Ki may well be numbered among the best of the films in which he has had an important part. : Bela Lugosi has been credited with a fixed place among the mys- tery actors, sometimes Wwith more distressing accompaniments than in the present offering, but in this play he also is a man of action, and is among those who are the antag- onists of Mr. Manners and Miss Ames. Numerous cxpert character performers are included in the cast, and with a plot which carries the interest throughout there is a film which is illuminated by variety in personalities. The roster includes Vince Barnett, Alex- ander Carr, Edward Van Sloan, Harcld Minjir, Wade Boteler, Al Hill, Barbara Bedford, Alan Roscoe, Mona Maris, Jimmy Donlin, Harold Waldridge and Lee Moran. The story develops through jeal- ousy on the part of one of the picture executives, because an actor has been associated with his wife. Death is the penalty. but in cover- ing up the crime there is an at- tempt to place the guilt upon the leading actress of the company. There are scenes of violence, and on the whole it is a production of strongly sustained interest. The week's comedy is one of these amusing incidents in which a person who fails to oualify seeks to obtain a place in Hollywood. It has much comic effect. There is also a sccnic film, and the newsreel is de- voted partly to the career of the late President Coolidge. D.C.C “20,000 Years in Sing Sing” At the Metropelitan. T'HE acting of Arthur Byron as the warden, of Spencer Tracy as Tom Connors. and to a lesser extent of Bette Davis as the little rl who shoots to kill and kills for . makes you forgel that “20,000 in Sing Sing” doesn’t perhaps, approximate the original book as written by Warden Lawss. The film which opened yesterday at Warner's Metiropolitan, is, however, an excit- ing prison yarn, done in the best Big Hcuse” manner. It includes some entertaining characters and me pricon scenes which are authentic. Prisons have, of course, been done before on the screen. And this may be a reason for not praising the pic- ture (o the skies, although it is well done, and it is amusing, and it is som s exciting. But you have a ling. most of the way through it, that they are struggling to make the bad boy, Tom. too much of a hero, that his iriendship with the warden is too good to be true, and that it is perhaps a shame to send such a jolly fellow to the chair—even though he has done enough things to gst him close to such prison fur- niture many times. Ethically, then, the film makes a timents. The small play of ideas was well carried out with insinua- tions and suggestions. and vigor and stength were plantly adapted to the varying rhythms. Attention was equally divided be- tween virtuosity in the use of the castanets and the dance move- meats. The musical balance was sugained by the expert play of the cajtanets as well as certain inter- pretive ideas. The easy command of thythm, one type of which was sistained by the castanets while tle feet moved to another, was as- teishingly sure and simple.
