A Familiar Theme.

The new authors have approached the
study of this primitive folk in much the
same manner as their predecessors. The
drawing speech, the narrow interests,
the feud impending ever, the religion
and the maladies, all these familiar
traits of the inhabitants of the Blue
Ridge were brought into view last night
Some of them were humorous. others
interesting mildly and the general pic
ture agreeable as It moved. 1t moved
slowly. There is nothing kinetic in the
dramaturgy of Miss Franklin, and Mr.
Smith seems TO have added less speed
than is his custom in dealing with his
playwrights
So well done was the picture that
much of its interest came from the man
ner. NJ. Golden had selected the ac-
tors carefully. So the kindly mountain
Samaritan was there well impersonated
by Marie Day. and so were the sullen
girl of the vendetta so amusingly acted
by Liela Bennett that most of the
laughter of the evening was caused by
her uncouthness and indifference. the
bearded father grasping his shooting
irons, ominously portrayed by Charles
Mcdonald, and the strenuous preacher
who approached the throne of grace in
his shirt sleeves with the aid of a
megaphone, which was a part made for
capable performance by Burr Mcintosh
Wilson Day made a picturesque figure
OF mountain undertaken, and as a
chronic invalid with the misery in her
face Marion kerry was amusingly
natural Sam Reed. veteran of 80 many
bucolic dramas, was a fiery sheriff. and
Charles Althoff made senility amusing in
the incidental figure of a fiddler.

Covering of Motors.

There was n further running OF the
short interest in the motor shares yes
terday. There are several developments
connected with those stocks which have
resulted in favorable market action, and
all combined have made the position OF
the shorts decidedly uncomfortable. In
the case OF General Motors the story OF
the acquisition OF actual majority con-
troll by the du Pont interests still per.
sists and refuses to be put down despite
the emphatic denial from Wilmington
with respect to Chandler Motors, the an
nouncement that a new automobile man
ufacturing company has been formed by
the Chandler interests Is taken in Wall
Street as a highly favorable develop
ment. White Motors has been influenced
for a good while by tho story OF a stock
dividend. With these individual develop
ments as basis the motor list gener-
ally has been in an exceedingly strong
position and the shorts position when
the general upward movement began was
decidedly untenable.

The Tobacco stocks.

In the face of tip from somewhere
to the effect that now is the time TO dis
pose of tobacco stocks. those issues con-
tinued to rise yesterday on substantial
buying. Where the tip came from or
what was its purpose was not disclosed
nevertheless Wall Street got the tip
throughout its length and breadth and
then promptly disregarded Il. There are
several stories In circulation regarding
the tobacco shares, not the least of which
Is a revival OF the old rumor respecting
a big combina ton OF leading tobacco in
terests. Tobacco Products continued In
good demand yesterday at steadily rising
prices. There was a story in circulation
to the effect that some favorable an
nouncement respecting that issue would
be forthcoming within a short time. In
one quarter II was declared that some in
terests which are not so sanguine regard
ing Tobacco Products as they might be
are awaiting the announcement with a
view of spreading out some sales on the
rise which they believe will follow.

Equipment and steels.

Should the present Congress grant the
$3.50. 900 addition to the revolving
fund railroad men assert that the finances
Of the railroad companies under Fed
eral control would be helped at once
because rental contracts for 1918, which
are only part paid. could be paid In full
and the first quarter of 1919 taken care
Of as need should arise. In addition the
Railroad Administration would be able
to place the usual annual orders for
steel rails, the sort of business which
would be profitable for steel companies
and make payments for equipment al
ready delivered and on which production
Is about to be completed. The restora-
ton OF railroad track and steel bridges
in northern France and Belgium also IL
expected to bring business to Industrial
companies in this country as well as
elsewhere. Altogether the heads of
steel and equipment companies foresee
new business of considerable magnitude
at no distant date.

Rails Improve.

One OF the reasons assigned for yes
terday's improvement in market senti-
ment was the consistent strength shown
by rail stocks. 1t was felt in brokera ge
circles that the turn 80 far as rail- issues
were concerned had come, but In some
quarters there was disappointment be-
cause the bulilsh news was not fol-
lowed to a greater extent. The news,
however. was beneficial to the indus
trials which supply railroad needs, and
II takes a good deal TO offset the effect
on sentiment regarding the problems
ahead. which include remedial legisla-
ton and the return of the roads to pri-
vate ownership. 1t was favorable, new
ertheless, to find that the fve year Fed
eral control. proposed by the former d.
rector-General. had been tabled and that
the House Appropriations COMMITTEES
had voted in favor OF the $3.50. 000, 900
addition to the revolving fund. The dis
position OF leading Democrats to urge
President Wilson to call an extra ses-
sion OF Congress before April was
construed as favorable. as it would per-
NIT the House to get busy on remedial
legislation while the Senate discussed
the League OF Nations.

Cuba Cane Financing.

While no definite decision has been

dictate which In the near future will
offer the bonds. The offering may come

considered to be abou as easy as they
can be expected to be In advance OF the
forthcoming Victory Loan campaign
The AMOUNT OF the bid could not be as
certained yesterday, but II is consid-
cred probable that the Guaranty will
give as good or better terms than any
other bidder. provided any other ,syndi-
cate cares to bid for the issue. Should

Institutions which have made bank loans
to the Cuba Cane Sugar Company would

unwonted activity from among out of

borrowing. which the crowd declared
