CHICAGO, Sept. lO.-AlI deliver

the present movement early on
scattered buying. induced by the
strength in cotton and stocks, but
the upturn brought out heavy profit
taking sales, and with less aggres-

reacted sharply, although the mar
ket failed to show any great weak
ness. Many OF the local element
went out of their lines on the bulge.
The technical position has been
weakened by the big advance Of

low point, and the EMBRACING Of

NEW YORK. Sept. 1o.-There wa.
fresh excitement in the cotton mar

another violent rise in prices de-
veloping from a fresh general buy

expected the market would quiet

There was a scramble to buy back

sold cotton so freely Thursday and

movement had been overdone in the

Liverpool and on the Southern spot
markets during the first half of the
week. Prices started with a rise
of 20 points on October contracts
in the initial trading. This was ex-
tended to so points on Decembe~
and nearly so on January.
After this opening advance had
brought out the usual profit-taking
by traders with a moderate setback

from San Antonio. Its effect was

made him the leading movie comedian.
1t Is Turpin's cross-eyes which are aid
ing him to become of fixed value on the
screen.
All burlesque comedians are well
trained in the business" of the stage.
They know how to read into the scene,
stuff or business" which the story
writer never dreamed of. Turpin has a
rich storehouse of experience to draw
from and he puts his experiences to
profitable use in his latest comedy.
Turpin will never possess the soft, gen
tie and even pathetic touch which Chap
lin has exhibited in his latest comedies.
Turpin is a "slapstick" comedian, and l
believe he is the best OF his kind on the
screen today.
Mack Sennett's comedies might prop
erly be called The Follies of the Screen.

Ben Turpin has arrived at that stage
of the movie game where he can be con-
xidered as a fixed movie asset. Turpin
is identified with what / term movie
burlesuue. movie directory states that
Turpin began his carer on the stage with
the Sam t. Jacks burlesque company IN
Chicago and later was for eleven years
In vaudeville. The directory states that
Turpin was the first 'slapStick'
comedian in pictures and appeared in
several Of Charlie Chaplin's comedies
when Chaplin was passing through the
pie throwing era Of his movie career.
careful consideration of "a Small
Town Idol" which has been on view at
a local theater all week, reveals 1t to be
a movie burlesQue, many OF the scenes
being extravaganza In character. Turpln
probably will never lose the tricks OF the
profession which he acquired when ne
was in burlesque.
While under the Mack Sennett banner,
Turpin has been generally surrounded
with maidens who appear to the best al
vantage in bathing suits and kindred at
tire. His latest picture to be exhiolted
In the city gives some food for thought
10 those who study the screen.
II is apparent that Turpin and Sennett
are the leaders In movie DuEiesque VI AA"
ton pfcture extravaganza. For instance,
Sennett in "a Small Town Idol places
one OF his scenes in a movie studio. The
girls are dancing aud prancing about In
summer attire which is suitable for
ocean wear when Turpin lands at the
studio.
The scene being done shows gay old
ruler having a heck of a good time In
one OF his places In that day the men
wore armor and helmets. Turpin is
given Roman tunic and helmet. Just
when the female dancers get into inter
esting motion. an eve guard of the helmet
drops, thus cheating Turpin from seeing
some choice wiggles of the dancers.
The way Turpin does these scenes re
suits In bowls Of laughter 1t is ex-
travagant fun 1t is burlesque. Now
DAYS burlesque, real burlesque, Is not
dirty" To be sure it has pep" but
there is no dirt. Ben Turpin and Mack
Sennett generally know how far to go.
sennett's directors also have eye
for picking types of women whose charms
photograph well. The women in these
Turpin movies reminds one Of the use
that Flo Ziegfeld makes of his chorus
| and show girls in the FOllies.
! Turpin at times is mechanical, but the
/ effects used by the director In getting the
+ fu mover soften the impression that Tur

HAROLD LLOYD'S LATEST
ON VIEW AT THE OHIO.
The boy knew that all that stood be-
tween him and being a swell, was the
lack of glad rags. He was only bell
boy in the Ritz Waldorf hotel, but when
he covered his buttons" with the
swagger top coat of guest who had
checked his wraps, why-he might have
been Lord Algernon Abbott Aberdeen
Alternately himself.
At least that was what the Hard
Boiled Party thought, and, as it was
very essential, in order to carry out
nefarious scheme, that he produce Lord
Algy at the fox hunt of Mrs. O'Brien, he
offered to provide the clothes If the
boy would play the part of Lord Algy.
That is how Harold Lloyd happened
to be Among Those Present" He
thought it was a joke-a masquerade all
in fun, and so it was, but the fun was
not for Harold, but rather for the audi
ences at the Ohio where Among Those
Present" will be shown Sunday and all
week. 1t is the newest Associated Ex-
hibitors' release of Harold Lloyd, pro-
duced by Hal Roach. Among those pres
ent in the supporting cast are Mildred
