Jack LondOn's Stories
To Be Seen on the Screen

For the first time in years Jack Lon
don's books will soon be seen in motion
pictures. Some years before the great
novelist's death he contracted to lease
the photoplay rights of his literary
output. London was quick to get out
an injunction in the Supreme Court of
the State Of California restraining any
further productions Of his books. He
made the point that his reputation as
writer was being injured by the
motion picture conceptions of his work.
For years he refused to commit any
further productions, and after his death
his widow, Mrs. Jack London, main
tanned his determination not to have
his stories photographed.
Only last winter did Mrs. Jack Lon
don decide to release her husband s
work for the screen. c. +. Shurtlef
induced her to permit her late
husbands work to be screened
He has been working for months on
his first Jack London picture, "The
Star Rover"

NEWS AND NOTES OF PLAYS AND PLAYERS

in the papers because Of my greatness
and my gallantry; but If cow was
to make run at me in the fields I'd
be near scared to death Of it. It's bad
enough to know that other people are
ashamed of you, but it's hell to be
ashamed Of yourself, the way l am
this minute, and it's hell to have
dreams of yourself doing big things
and you knowing rightly you'll never
have the pluck to do wee thing let
alone a big one. I'm full of
hate and I want to hurt them that
hurts me, but l haven't the courage to
do it. l want Withrow to be dead. I'd
be glad this minute if some one came
in the door there and told me he was
dead. But I'd be feard to lay finger
on him myself. That's the cowardliest
thing of ALTO want to commit sin
and not have the courage to do it..
Do you think Godll be gratifed when
He thinks I didn't kill Withrow be-
cause was too big collie to do it?"
Warmed with dish of tea, the
spirits of Caesar rise bit.
"You know" he says, cts quare the
way things turn out. Yesterday l was
having the great notions of Hannah
and myself. 1 imagined myself pros
pering greatly and l thought to myself
I'd maybe get made a magistrate
There's many that's not so we'll reared
as myself that are made magistrates
this day, and can send fellows like
'Clutie john to Jail for a month and
more for being without visible means
Of subsistence"
But a moment later when "Clutie"
comes with the news that Withrow has
been found murdered, Caesar, remem-
boring all his threats against his en-
envy, goes to pieces and begs to be
hidden. In vain he repeats that he is
innocent. John Ferguson and his fam
lily refuse to hide him from the con-
stables and, when they come, another
side of his nature is seen. Panic gives
way to calmness. He holds out his
wrists for the handouts.
II meant to kill Withrow," says
Caesar. II admit that. But l didn't
do it, If should never speak again,
that's the Gods truth. Pm not sorry

There Is in "John Ferguson" the
Theatre Guilds production at the Full
ton Theatre, what is probably the finest
study of cowardice that has been pre-
sented here in modern play. St. John
Irvine has sensed wildly that the cow
ard is really tragic figure. The alb
ject little grocer, Jimmy Caesar, so
finely played by Dudley Digge, would
be comic stuff Of familiar sort if
through him there did not echo every
mans despair with the limitations that
hedge him in. 1t is this longing for
heroism and power, an egotism strug-
Cling beneath an intense and soaring
fear, that makes him fit not for con-
tempt but compassion. To see the
coward in this way is to bring imagi-
nation to bear on some of the cut-and-
dried assumptions, the routine con-
captions of character.
The unashamed revelation ranges
through the grotesque and comic be-
fore it sounds the tragic. In the first
act Caesar is confronted with his great
enemy, Henry Withrow, the bully, and
he cringes before him in the sight of
the girl Hannah, whom he wants to
marry. Her scorn for him is unmeas-
urcable.

TEXT1LES-Trade Eager
For Printed Goods

Printed cotton goods were in good
demand yesterday, but otherwise the
market was less active than any day
for many weeks. Only shortage Of
this fabric prevented jobbers from re-
cording heavy sales. Buyers from all
sections of the country were in the
market eagerly accepting any lots Of
fered
Jobbers are complaining Of their in
ability to secure finished goodr, and
are faced, they say, with the prospects
of a continuation of shortage of
supplies for the remainder of the wear
at least. Converters are strenuously
working to alleviate the condition, but
are laboring under tremendous vol
ume of orders. Consequently jobbe rs
are inclined toward pessimism regard
ing the outlook.
There was a light movement of gray
goods yesterday, virtually all sales be
ing made from second hands. These
firms were offering 64-6Os at 18As.,
which was a quarter of a cent under
the price asked by first hands.
Overall manufacturers, faced with
a shortage of denim, are endeavoring
to fill contracts by substituting color
drills. There were several inquiries s
for drills from these sources yester-
day, but majority of houses special
izing in this fabric are diverting their
stock to export trade. Khaki is also
in demand for export trade

LEATHER-.Shoe Buyers
Return Empty Handed

Wholesale shoe dealers are finding
difficulty in securing adequate stocks
One merchant said yesterday that in
stead of having his usual supply of
10000 to $4,000 pairs of shoes on hand,
His buyers, who have just returned
from the Boston market, were unable
to secure a single pair of black shoes
This dealer stated that the market is
disorganzed because of violent price
fluctuations. He cited an experience
Of his own as an example. One morn
ing he looked over samples for a large
order, but made no purchases. In the
afternoon when he went back to buy
prices on the shoes had advanced so
cents pair.
Mems shoes that sold wholesale for
S385 two years back are now selling
FOR 1926, with higher prices in view.
These shoes retailed for IS to Sc two
years ago; they now cost SO to $40 in
the stores. Mems and women's shoes
that are now wholesaling for $1l will
cost $l9 to $40 when placed ON the
counter IN the fall.
Foreign demand continues extern
sive. particularly from the Balkans,
Turkey and southwestern Asia. Sales
have been SO heavy that most houses
have exhausted their supplies OF
special European lasts and are selling
American styles. Top prices Are being
paid, it is said, and most houses arc
not following their special European
price lists, but are demanding prices
prevailing Il the domestic market.

METALS-Exports of
Copper to GERMANY

The Copper Export Association has
sold 1000 tons Of electrolytic copper to
German interests, according to an an
nouncement made yesterday, the trans
action being based on current New
York quotations. The price is said to
have been around "a cents a pound
The buyers are to arrange for the
transportation and shipment of the
metal, which will be delivered to those
parts of Germany occupied by the AL
lied military authorities
Another interest in the copper trade,
independent of the export com bination,
is understood to have received an in
quiry from Germany for 5000 tons Of
copper for early delivery Negotia-
tions are under way to provide for the
dollars through credit arra rangements to
pay for the copper purchased
The market for copper is rather
quiet, with August delivery metal
quoted at 23h to 2SA cents and Sep
tember at "a cents. Few Of the sellers
are disposed to quote metal for Octo-
Der delivery.
Several Of the Middle Western pro-
ducers of steel rivets have advanced
prices from SO to ST ton. This ap-
Plies particularly to rivetst used for
boiler and structural construction. The
new price on structural rivets is $3.50.
compared with 1915, and boiler r.vets
$4, compared with $3.50.
