RIALTO.


PhotopIay enthusiasts have had
many demonstrations Of the excep-
tionaI adaptability OF Robert W.
Chambers actions to screen presen-
tation, but probably never one that
more completely fulfilled the require
ments than "The Cambria Mask" in
which Alice Joyce Is starred az
Moore's Rialto Theater this week.
Miss Joyce's role IL that OF daugh-
ter OF a pight,rider who Is forced into
many Illicit schemes by the village
Pooh-bah who controls him through
threats based upon a series OF earlier
business Indiscretions. A scientist
visits the community and is chosen as
a victim by the white-shrouded night
marauders. The manner in which the
girl rescues the scientist whom she
loves, from the murderous clutches Of
the band led by the man she hates,
forms one OF the most vivid and one
OF the most intensely interesting
shadow dramas OF the season. Mau-
rice Costello Is cast in the role op-
posite the star.

a flm adaptation from one Of her own
great stage successes, 'Ception

While the truly wonderful voice OF
the great Russian actress Is absent,
this loss is forgotten in the inspired
Interpretation she gives OF the role ol
Eve Also, the dismal settings Of the
stage are transformed into beautiful
ones on the screen. and the strangely
blunt drama becomes poetic and sym
bolic. Some few deviations have been
made from the original play, the prin-
cipal one being the change from q
gruesome to a happy ending, without
impairing in the slightest the force OF
the story.
Nazimova's support includes Charles
Bryant, Henry Harmon. and Nancy

BONDS
LAKE SUPERIOR MEETING
No Action Taken ON Settlement With
Railway Bondholders

President Wilfred II. Cunningham,
presiding at the annual meeting of the
stockholders of the Lake Superior Cor
poration today, said that the tentative
plan for settlement with the railway
subsidiary bondholders was not ready
for submission to stockholders at this
time, and in view of the fact that the
matter was complicated, he deemed it
inadvisable to discuss the terms of the
proposition.
Indicating the time within which the
matter might be cleaned up. Sidney
Mason, a director, said that the settle
ment was predicated on becoming eff =
fective on January l next, and that it
would require approval on both sides of
the Atlantic, the sanction of the Eng
lish bOndholders being as necessary as
that of their own committee.
The meeting was entirely harmonious
and sentiment favored leaving details of
the proposed settlement in the hands
of the directors.
1t is uncertain when the date of the
special meeting for this purpose will be
fixed.
Thomas Gibson, of Toronto, was
elected to fill the vacancy in the board
caused by the resignation some time ago
of Thomas Wigham. Mr.. Gibson was
formerly president of the company aud
is now its general counsel.

BROADER MARKET
FOR RAILROADS
Abundant Supply Of Money
Makes Shifting of Activity
an Easy Task
STRIKE NEWS FAVORABLE

New York. Oct. 1.-The New York
Evening Suns closing financial review
today says:
A broad and active demand for rails
and certain industrial specialtes
featured today's stock market, while
latent strength was manifest throughout
the list.
The railroad shares assumed the po-
sition of leadership and gains of one
to two points were made in that de-
parlmcnt, the lower priced issues hav-
ing been in especially brisk demand.
Strange to say the reason for this
was to be found in the existing labor
situation. 1t has been taken for
granted all along that % per cent
and it was thought that the time was
not far distant. Now it is regarded as
n certainty that the increase will ma
teralize in. the near future because the
decline in shipping as a result of strikes
is general. and the steel strike in par
ticular has tended to convince the gov
ernment railroad administration that the
roads cannot hope to make up the al
ready large deficit without it.
Justice Hughes's conclusions with re-
speCt to the constitutionality of the eX
cess earnings provision of the Cummns
law continued a factor also. Still an
other factor is that the abundant supply
of money in the country available for
investment and speculative purposes is
constantly seeking an outlet. If for
any reason the industrial stocks do not
at the moment prove as attractive be-
cause of higher levels of prices or doubts
about the steel strike or other disturb
ing clements. interest shifts elsewhere.
Last week itNwas to some extent
Liberty Bonds which attracted attcn-
| ton. Just now it would seem to be the
rails although it could scarcely be said
that the industrials were neglected to-
! day.
Judge Gary's testimony and presen-
tation of statistics before the Senate
| strike investigation body tended further
| to strengthen the view quite generally
held that the steel walkout was yack
ing in basic justification, whether OF
the wage scale or working conditions.
This was bullish influence because
| it was believed it would serve still
more to ALLEVIATE the sympathy Of the
public.
Reports from strike areas continued
| favorable and cables from London
stated that men were returning to the
railroads in England and that the
service was slowly improving.
The stcl and equipment shares were
a bit lethargic following the expansive
movement of Tuesday, but they dis
played strength of sort. Crucibl,
dashed to a new high record of 255
up nine points, but that stock was
erractic.
The coppers' made good shown,
and SO did the tobacos. The oils ad
vanced from time to time, but supper
was not consistently offered. The mo
tors were heavy.

Chicago, Oct 1.-Wet weather over
the greater part of the belt, higher rates
for foreign exchange and strength in
securities at New York encouraged good
buying of corn by commission houses

strength.

1t was plain that the bears felt less
secure in their position. Crop news
was bearish. as recent abundant sun
shine helped the grain to be free of
damage by frosts. The first run of 1919
yield is showing high quality.
