TOX'S THFltTER

Assuming the role of a Brown prin- cess of a pearl Worshipping tribe of the south Sea islands. Theda l3ara, in "A Woman There WaS' made her first appearance at FOX'S yesterday. The story is a gripping one, woven around the possession of the sacred black tribal pearl and the appearance of an American missionary with whom the princess falls desperately in love. The tropical passion displayed by Miss Bara is typical of her emo tional roles heretofore seen on the screen in Fox productions. vet the role is unusual because of the absence of any vampire traits.
 It was plainly evidently that Miss Bara's interpretation of her part was greatly appreciated by the audience. Sensational action is seen throughout the piece, including d tropical typhOon which wipes q village off the map. From the aging sea the white mis- sionary rescues the heroine; after which she receives a death wound from her jealous native followers and dies in the arms of the man she loves.

 She was all anima ton and sparl5lo as she looked up into Alfred Dur kee's face.

CORMICAN PLAYERS
 PLAN FOR OPENING

The Cornican Players, who have come from New York 10 entertain New Britain theatergoCrS for the summer season, open Monday night in farce comedy "'rhe Brat, which made such an Uproarious hit in New York last season. In three acts it is a comedy that calls for the very best cast Of players and the reputa- tOn of the company that MT. Cor mican has selected leaves nothing to be said for either ability or charm. The leading lady is we'll known favorite in New York, Chicago and San Francisco, and though barely six years on the stage she has made a name for herself in leads for her naturalneSS, charm and appeal. In fact, the personality of Miss Ethel Van WaldrOn is so convincing that 1t spells triumph, She made her New York debut few seasons ago in tha delightful SelWyn production of "The Arab," Miss Van WaldrOn essaying the leading role of Mirba which she played to crowded houses on Broud- way. With MacLyn Arbucl1e she played the role of Polly in The Eoundup,' a clever Characterizati ton that added to her histronic laurcls ana sem lnH1dSeTS not lCOleN OH lei trail. Mr Cormichan, who will appear in his own company is a finished actor and though barely out of college has already attracted the attention of the sober minded critics of Broadway, who promise a big future for him.

 With very little trouble a supply of square, glass stoppered bottles, of one, two or perhaps three sizes, depending upon the varying amounts of articles you wish to keep, can be brought to- gether.

Does DicI1y Really Mean More Than
 His Words Say?

Ills NOruS SaN: "Aren't there any decent cabarets In these parts?'
 Rita Brown put the question bit |querulousIy to Alfred Durkee, but her voice, one of unusual carrying spower, reached every one of us. Local authorities aren't supposed .to allow any other kind, Rita," Diclly sdrawled. I'm afraid they'd be a little tame to you after New York, but perhaps if we hunted around s sbit"-he paused hopefully.
 Its time for your sleeping pow Saer," she retorted. "Please take d snap, and don't interrupt again when I'm deciding something important. Go on, Alf. I saw you open your mouth. What were you about to say swhen you were interrupted by that mosquito across the way?' I saw Mother Graham stiffen and Hook sharply. disapprOVingly at the girl. Dicky's mother detests slang and the easy familiarity of the stu dios. She had disapproved of Rita Brown from the moment she had seen her upon the day of the girl $ arrival at the Durkee home four days before I knew that her opinion hadn't changed, but on the contrary had been strengthened by Miss Browns words and manner since that time.
 Little Mrs. Durl1ee laughed me- 6chanically, evidently determining to do her duty as hostess to her boys friends. I echoed her laugh, because of the cowardly fear which every Wlfe knows-that disappearing silence upon her part toward a woman whom her husband admires may be con- strued as jea1ousy4-and the Fairfax girls also laughed-I suspected strongly-for a similar reason.
 Alfred Durkee's laugh, on the con- trary, was genuine and hearty. 1 was afraid he was in the state when any witticism upon Miss Brown S part, no matter how crude, seemed the cue for mirth.

LEATHER-Dealers
Expect Reneued Actirify

Leather dealers asserted yeste rday
that active buying may be expect +
within the next two weeks The de-
cline in purchases, they state, was due
principally to the decrease in the pro-
duction Of finished leather goods
brought about by shorter working
hours. Manufacturers OF leather bags
gloves, suitcases and novelties have on
hand more leather than ran be con-
verted into finished articles for some
time TO come, although this leather is
not sufficient to cover orders standing
on the books. Production has been
cut down by labor troubles and shorter
working hours.
Because the filling of orders has
been delayed, payments have been held
up. Consequently the manufacturer of
to- day without endangering the fnan-
cial position of his business or asking
for long-term credit. This situation
and not the talk Of an investigation
into profteering, has discouraged for
the time any quantity buying.
In discussing the reasons why buy
ing should be resumed shortly, dealer
said that in the absence of purchases
manufacturers of leather goods are
continually reducing their stocks.
Payments Of bills are being made and
companies are in better pos'llon to
purchase more leather. AS the guam
titv of leather on hand is below the
requirements of orders on the books
manufacturers will soon resume pur-
chases.
Dealers in leather stated that the
slump in buying had given them op-
portunity to replenish stocks and that
the quantity Of leather on the shelves
to-day is oncs mora close to" normal.

COLORS-Light Buying
Causes SHADING OF Prices

Some tendency to shade prices of
dyestuffs was noticeable yesterday.
Dealers stated that the Willingness to
make concessions was due to the fact
that buying is still light, and with
plants turning out good quantities Of
colors some manufacturers fear an ac-
cumulation of stocks. Good buying for
export has been chiefly instrumental in
keeping prices firm throughout the duh
period of the last few months. The
decision to import six months sur
ply Of German vat dyes has not infu-
enced prices, it was said.
The crudes and Intermediates remain
firm, with price advances noted in some
instances. Benzol and toluol have ad-
vanced in price, and in some quarters
higher quotations are looked for as
soon as fall business begins in earnest
Cresol, due to overproduction, is the
only weak item on the list. Japan is
reported to have purchased during the
last few months the greater part of the
huge supply Of inte mediates stored on
the Pacific Coast. The Interpretation
placed on this in the trade is that
Japan will endeavor to become large
scale producer Of cotors. Most of the
colors used in Japan and the Orient
at present come from this country.

SELks-Out OF Tose's
Tobbers in Marker Ago;n

The appearance of large out-of-town
jobbers in the silk market yesterday
gave rise to the belief that buying
shortly Will be resumed on Il brisk
scale. While the jobbers generally con
fined themselves to what was regarded
as. preliminary inspection Of spring
rnercha nd Sc, it was known that several
Of them are prepared TO place large
orders.
In addition to the iobbers there were
q num ber Of retail buyers visiting the
various salesrooms in search of mer-
chandse suitable for November sales.
Their quests were generally unsuccess-
fui, because manufacturers and jobbers
are without any appreciate stocks for
immediate delivery.
There was a-disposition on the part OF
some buyers to quibblc over spring
prices, but there were no recesslons
made from the hgurers established by
manufacturers. A majority Of mer
chants realize that unless they place
their orders now they will later. when
the need for merchandise becomes i'm
minent, be dependent on jobbers for
chem. Accordingly they are making
their purchases at the prices asked.
priced goods was emphasized again
by sales Of faile. This fabric, which
is especially adaptable for women's
suits, brought from $3.50 to "a g
yard with a decided preference ex-
pressed for the latter qualities. 1t is
being largely sold for delivery during
February and March.
While there was no apprcciable in
crease in the volume of business trans
acted Yesterday in the raw silk market,
there Wa distinct tone Of oOtimism
on the part of the dealers. The con-
tinued demand in Japan, with the re-
sultant rise in prices, is regarded as
a positive evidence. that buying will
shortly be resumed here on q substan-
tal basis
Already there is evidence that local
manufacturers are looking favorab1y
on the present as buying period. The
gradual subsiding of the labor difficult
ties in the silk mills. and the improve
mcnts in the national economic situa-
ton have given them added courage,
and yesterday there were numerous in
quirles from them regarding raw silk
quotations.

CHEMICALs--'siigns Of
Speculation in Aniline Oil

unusual demands for aniline oil yes
terday led several dealers in chemicals
TO 9eleve that spectators were in the
market. Prices for the oil were firm at
~ and 80 cents pound. depending on
quantity. There is pronounced
scarcity Of spot material on the market
and the majority Of business transact
ed is for October and November de-
livery. Leading chemical concerns in
terpret the activity in aniline oil to
the manipulations Of spectators, who
apparently have abandoned for the
present such products as bichromate Of
soda. caustic soda and camphor, all of
which were manipulated a few weeks
back.
Citric acid displayed more frrnness
yesterday, with prices at $106 and s107
8 pound This represents q sight ad-
vance from the low reached last week,
when large shipments from Italy de-
pressed PRICES and forced out specula-
tors. Dealers do not attribute this
2cent price advance to buying by
SPECTATORS, as the demand for citric
acid, they say, is unusual.
Glassmakers are reported to have
purchased huge quantities Of white
arsenic at 10 and II cents a pound
The inside figure represents more than
carload purchases. Rumors were cur
rent toward the end of last week that
the government had disposed Of nearly
500 900 pounds of arsenic at 8 cents a
pound. If it is true that the sale has
been consummated, the effect on the
market has been slight, as buying con-
tiaues in good volume.

JEWELRY-Boon, in
Trade Greatest in Years

The jewelry business has not for
many years seen such prosperity as it
now enjoys. 1t is practically imposs-
Bile to satisfy the demands Of the
American people for all kinds of orna-
ments in the nature of gems of various
descriptions.
Prohibition and high wages are the
reasons given for this unprecedented
boom. Joseph Mazer, of New York, n
part of the money formerly expended
for liquor is now being used in buying
Jewelry. The public apparently has
plenty of money, and is spending
large part Of it, The highest priced
articles are ir greater demand"
The consensus of opinion among the
manufacturers, however, is that it is not
nearly as important factor as high
wages in the unusual demand for jew
elry, especially the better grades.
Theodore Foster, president of Theo-
dore W. Foster & Co., commenting on
the situation, said: "The one great
for jewelry is to be seen in the fact
that the great majority of persons
were able to satisfy their tastes and
longlngs for beautiful jewelry, expen-
sive silverware and other luxuries.
Owing to extremely high wages, as
we'll as, to some extent, prohibition,
this stratum of society is now enabled
to buy these things, and the people are
losing no time in doing it, irrespective
of future considera tions or conditions.
at now looks as if there will be two
or three years of extraordinarily good
business, and after that it will depend
upon whatever happens to be the wage
situation. The general tendency now
is to purchase the highest grades of
jewelry. although all kinds. styles and
grades are finding an unusual sale"
