Allen"

George Beban and company of
players caught the attention of Broad
way last night, presenting at the AS
tor Theatre "An Alien" a film drama
which is shown at the Harte Theatre
today.
They demonstrated 10 the audience
the scenes thrown upon the screen
may be just as compelling in their dra-
matte force as the actual scenes enact
ed upon the stage. Apparently that
part of New York represented by the
audience liked the lesson
The scenario of IAN Alien is an
adaptation OF "The Sign of the Rose
which Beban employed successfully in
vaudeville for years and was later ex-
banded into a Broadway production.
1t gives Beban a fine opportunity TO
demonstrate his excellence as a char
acter actor, presenting the picture of
an Italian laborer, whose child, Rosa,
is killed by an automobile of wealthy
banker whose own daughter has been
kidnapped The Italian goes to a
flower shop to buy rose for his
daughters bier, and is accused of the
Kidnapping
The production is made by Thomas
II. lnce, and presented by the Select

END OF LONG CREDIT
FOR LATIN AMERICA
Countries with Empty Shelves Ready
to Pay Cash for Goods from
United States.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE day of |
the long credit in Central and South
America has gone, not to return, IN
the opinion of Henri Frick, head of
large firm OF manufacturers sales
agents in San Jose, Costa Rica, who
is i'm New York to enlarge the repre-
sentation of American goods in the
countries of Central America, West
Indies, and on the west and north
coasts of the Southern Continent. Mr..
Frick said that empty shelves was
the rule now in the regions covered
by his firm S activities. 1t takes
from six to nine months, he said, af-
ter merchandise was ordered from Eu
rope for it to arrive, while the losses
occasioned by the German submarine
warfare made merchants IN Central
and South America hesitate about Civ
ing orders.
Mr.. Frick is a native of Switzer-
land and has, in addition to his bust
ness interests, represented that coun-
| try as consul at San Jose for sixteen
wears. At the New York Office Of
/ the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce Mr.. Prick said:
1.-The great European industrial
competition III Central and South
/ America resulted in the establishment
of very long credit in the countries
| to the south Of the United States.
7 This was possible before the war and
naturally gave European sellers a big
advantage over American manufact-
urers who were unable to make such
i concessions The long credit system
cannot be maintained, nor is there
likelihood of its return. Customers III
/ the South American markets are real
ling the inevitable change and are
adapting themselves to it. In short,
they understand that business from
now ON will have to be done on much
shorter credit. To all intents and pur-
poses the credit question is practical
" settled, many native customers be
ing ready to pay upon arrival of mer-
chandise. We think down in Central
and South America that the shorten
ing OF the credit system ought to
prove an added incentive to Ameri-
cans to take hold of trade opportuni-
ties in earnest.
Choking at the situation from a
South American point of view,' Mr..
Frick continued, "exporters of the
United States should grip these mar
kets now while the opportunity is gol-
den. The shelves In all parts of Cen
trail and South America are empty and
must be restocked. No German goods
are to be had, while shipments from
England are irregular.'
One suggestion made by Mr.. Fricl
was that American manufacturer.
ought to put out of their minds the
word foreign when considering
trade abroad and think of it only al
new territorv'' TO be worked, just
the same as new sections of their owl
/ country.
