BULLS AIDED BY
EXPECTED CUT
IN WHEAT TOTAL

Chicago, Oct. 31-Expectance OF
decrease in the United States Wis
ible supply total was a leading
bulllsh factor in the wheat market
today but this influence was largely
counter balanced by selling on the
part OF houses with northwestern
connections. Besides, Kansas City
reported consigDments increasing
and milling demand slow. On the
other hand scarcity OF red winter
wheat here continued to attract at
tention. Opening prices, which
varied from rs C Oft to 214c advance,
with December los to 1.0SA, and
May 1.121a to 1.13, were followed by
slight general gains although
temporary sag interviewed.
In later dealings, the market
huctuated often but within narrow
limits. Bearish feeling was some
what enhanced by word that Bur
falo and other eastern mills were
acquiring duty paid Canadian
wheat. The close was earsy, &c
10 &c net lower, with December
1.07A to LOS and May Lips to
I.12h.
Corn and oats were relatively
easy owing to lack Of aggressive
support. Corn opened unchanged
to lAe lower to like higher, May
53Hc TO sac, and then declined all
around to Saturdays finish.
For the most part trade was of a
local character Prices closed easy.

Oats started unchanged TO NJ

weakened like corn.
Higher quotations on hogs gave
something of lift to provisions.

Leu Kelly Fought
By Fairbanks Side
In Days of Long Ago

Just ask Lew Kelly what 10 the
greatest city In the world and with
out hesitation he will answer,
Denver"
Lew comes to the Gayety this
week at the head of the Lew Kelly
show. Why is Kelly so loyal to
Denver?
Answer-he was born there.
Denver has given other stars to
stage and screen-foremost among
the latter being Doug Fairbanks,
who was one of Lewis school chums.
Lew was seated in his dressing
room one night, talking of the old
en- days-the days when he was
struggling actor. Back still further
were carried his recolleetions when
he drew forth from his trunk a
picture. 1t was a photo of Doug
Fairbanks and himself. Many hap
py days Doug and l spent togeth-
err" said the great comedian.
Doug was one Of my best
friends" said Kelly. He was al
ways the athletic sort; we fought
our battles together, and anyone l
couldn't whip Doug could. Many
big bully who was too large Tor
me to handle was tanned by Doug,
I am glad he made a success OF
his vocation. He deserved 1t.
Kelly was compelled to leave
school when about IL, to take a
position in a brush factory. At II
he played ball for a living and al
10 he entered the show business
where he has mounted to fame as
a comedian.

Gertrude Hoffman
Aiming to Create
American Ballet

Gertrude Hoffman, long. known as
one OF Americas foremost dancers,
is probably responsible for more
really original and novel ideas hav-
ing to do with the dance than any
other native exponent of the art of
Terpsichore. Miss Hoffman has al
ways been an innovator and an
originator. never satisfied to do
merely what someone else has done
and always on the watch for some
thing worth doing not merely be-
cause it may have entertainment
value but for its own sake.
Pantomime is pretty nearly a lost
art in America-or at least it was
until a few years ago. Then Miss
Hoffman, with courage that to
many at the time seemed to ap-
proach foolhardiness, produced the
wordless play "Sumurun." Beczuse
she had felt it's possibilities and
was doing a thing she really want
ed to do, "Sumurun" was a notable
success. Serge Diagheleff's Russian
ballet. a little later, encountered
rather bad fortune in a tour of
America. The reason was that Miss
Hoffman had already, quite indie
pendently, worked out pretty near
ly everything that Diagheleff could
offer. His audiences were cold be-
cause, when they came to see some
thing new. they saw only what Miss
Hoffman had already offered them.
Now Miss Hoffman, who appears
at Keith's this week with talented
company of sixteen Americap-b born
dancers. headed by Leon Barte, Is
endeavoring to create a distinctive
Iy American ballet. Judging from
her past career, her efforts will be
productive of something out of the
ordinary, at least. =

Mark Twain Reveals Flaws
In Famed Good Old Times
Film Version of "A Connecticut Yankee in
King Arthur's Court Pokes Fun
At Middle Ages.

When Mark Twain published "A
Connecticut Yankee in King Ar
thurs Court" the William Fox
special film version of which is to
open weeks engagement at
Moore,s Rialto Theater. beginning
today, he expected to arouse a lot
of discussion-and he did. He had
become sick and tired of hearing
about "the good old times" and de-
termined to write a book showing.
in humorous fashion, that the
knights of old wsre by no means
all they were cracked up to be. So
he transplanted "A Connecticut
Yankee to the Court of King Ar
thur" and proved that the modern
American is more than a match for
the. ancient knight.
Anticipating discussion, Mark
Twain, prefaced the first edition OF
his book with the following:
THE ungent1e laws and customs
touched upon in this tale are his
tcrical, and the episodes which are
used to illustrate them are his
torical. 1t is not pretended that
these laws and customs existed in
England in the sixth century; no,
1T is only pretended that, inasmuch
as they existed in the English and
other civilizations of far later times,
1t Is safe to consider that It is no
libel on the sixth century to suppose
them to have been in practice in
that day also.
"One is quite justified in inferring
that wherever one of these laws or
customs was lacking in that remote
time. It's place was filled by.a worse
one"
This warded off much discussion,

ZOna Gale Reached
Lifetime Ambition
In Miss Lulu Bett"

When Brock Pemberton produced
Miss Lulu Bett" in New York City
last winter, Zona Gale, who adapted
the play from her novel Of the same
name, realized an ambition of twen-
ty years duration.
For years she had been delight
ing readers in every part of the
country with her inimitable pfc
lures of small-town life in the
Middle West. But her long-cherish-
ed ambition was to see the charac-
ters which she had created en-
dowed with breath and life on the
dramatic stage.
When the subject of putting on q
play based on her famous noyel-
Miss Lulu Bett," was first broach-
ed to Brock Pemberton, that young
producer was in a quandary as to
whom he should entrust the drama
uzation of a book of such fine char
acterizatIOns and subtle realism.
The names of several well-known
playwrights were considered, until,
finally. he suggested to Miss Gale
that she attempt the job herself.
And attempt it she did, with some
misgtvings at first, she admits, for
it was her first attempt at dramatic
composition. How we'll she Sue
ceeded. the enthusiastic approval Of
press and public during the play's
run Of twenty-five weeks at the Bel
mont Theater in New York city is
ample testimony
And now lovers>sf what Is in. In
the American theater are hoping
that Miss Gale will be persuaded to
put some of her other well-known
characters on the stage. But in the
meantime we will have the oppor-
tunity Of enjoying Miss Lulu Bett,"
which begins an engagement to-
morrow night at the Garrick
Theater.
