At THE LASAILE.

Today's picture at the LaSalle is
entitled The Dawn of Understand
ing" and features pretty and ap-
pealing Bessie Love. The story is a
quaint romance. colorful of the west
in the gold days. telling a dramatic
story that is relieved by light COM
edy touches There is action always,
and near tragedy, a combination that
commands and holds the attention
of all. The setting Of the great
western plains. and in the midst of
all this loneliness, Sue" the loniest
picture of all, doomed to drudge
her life away. And then comes the
one brief romance in her pathetic
existence. a fieeting glimpse at what
she imagines love might be. How
fate interposes and a tragedy is
nearly averted, makes delightful en-
tertainment.
Tomorrow "Au OF a Sudden
Norma" features Bessie Barriscale.

AT THE AUDITORIUM.

Although the entire action Of In

at the Auditorium today.
is laid in Paris. the story will APP
peal universally, as it is a heart
interest story" Gaby plays the part
of a little Partisan flower maker.
Times are hard and the rent is over
due. The landlord. struck by her
beauty. tries to make love to her but
she orders him from the room. Tax
ing her flowers for sale 10 the de-
partment store, she discovers that
the evil-minded landlord had crush
ed them and they are unstable.
Tempted by her poverty, she steals a
valuable fur, but her honesty will
not permit her TO retain il. Wander
ing around the streets she follows a
number of children into the home OF
famous actor who each year gives
a Christmas party 10 the poor chill
dren. The actor falls in love with
her and asks her to become his wife.
Time passes and he has trained Gaby
to be an expert dancer and she IS
now the leading woman at his thea
ter. Later she becomes infatuated
with a young man about town who
entices her away, but she becomes so
unhappy she returns to her husband.
"Freckled Fish, a two-reel comedy,

self Of every opportunity to photo
graph many strange and thrilling
scenes in this wonderful capital
where the heart beat of all France is
felt. Mr.. Newman was in Paris

in a vain attempt to destroy the

New York, July 26.-The New York
Evening Suns financial review this aft
ernoon Is as follows:
Following hesitant opening the stock
market gathered strength under the lead
of the food shares which were actively
bought at advancing prices.
United Food Products moved into new
high ground, while Corn Products and
California Packing displayed pronounced
strength at times. The whole industrial
section of the market exhibited a firm
tone in the first hour,> with trading
moderately active.
The announcement that the Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey was about
to raise $10O, 100000 new capital
through the sale of preferred stock
aroused much interest in stock market
circles. This is new departure for
the Standard Oil and the long list of
big financing operations which are al
most daily occurring in Wall street is
splendid commentary on the invest
ment situation and banking confidence
in the country's power to raise un-
limited amounts of capital.
At the opening today 115 was bid for
the new Z per cent preferred stock to
be issued, while the subscription rights
on the curb ranged from 13 to II.
Tobacco Products was marked up to
new high figure above 113. The steel
shares moved ahead quite easily and
helped the general list by their strength.
Bethlehem Steel rallied point and
United States Steel, at 113, was within
couple of points of its high level for
the year. Rails were neglected and
made little change. Moderate advances
invited profit taking, SO that the for
ward movement did not carry far, but
the tone of the market held tirm
throughout the session.
The foreign exchange market was
again very weak. Sterling exchange
was off about Az points, while francs
:, were down 6 points. Lire, Belgian ex :
change and Scandinavian rates were all
lower.
The weekly trade reviews noted sus-
tanned activity in all lines of industry.
Dun's says:
'"The really noteworthy feature of the
business situation is not the fact that
activities are enlarging, but rather that

sign of abatement during the summer
neriod when a distinct pause is usually
witnessed. Yet dispatches from every
section of the country and from nearly
every trade and industry emphasize the
absence of the customary seasonal halt
ing and the weeks advices should re,
move all doubt, if any still exists, OF
the decisiveness and widespread scope
of the after war revival"
Another index to industrial expansion
