Dangerous Curve Ahead Has
Many Dramatic Moments for

CAPIT0L-"Dangerou Curve Ahead,
a Goldwyn production written for the
screen by Rupert Hughes and directed
by l.. Mason Hopper.

by l.. Mason Hopper.
Though Rupert Hughes reduces matri-
mony in this comedy to numerous
curves he is far from Indicating that it
can be treated with mathematical exacti-
tude- 1t is the refreshing presentation
OF the very human elements in every
one, even elevator runners. which make
life uncertain. that lifts this photoplay
above the commonplace--n a word.
makes it more than a photoplay. 1t
might be called "The First Year of the
screen.
lts material Is far from new; indeed.
the course Of the tale might be predicted
by any cinema habitue. It's sympathetic
treatment is what makes it unique and
justifies Mr.. Hughes. If ne wants, in be-
coming conceited as the best photoplay-
wright now eytant. Starting, like Frank
Craven's spoken play, where most dram
aturgic works leave off-with the mar
rage of the principals--it takes them
living scrappily forever after through
the periods when the husband becomes
absorbed in his business. the young wife
becomes lonely and then finds repeated
motherhood something OF burden. and
them after CHE has incubated social am
bitions and had disagreeable expert
ence with male charmer, 1t leaves her
quite reconciled with being a wife and
mother and not particularly concerned
If her place is the home.
Mr.. Hughes has kept the scales quite
evenly balanced between devoted hus-
band and pretty wife, showing her as
really very innocent in her affair with
the philanderer. but making her hus-
band comprehensibly Jealous as in duty
bound. The situation where the wife,
insisting on going to an important din
ner. is drawn back to the husband who
has rejected her by nn i'll child has
been used before for its sheer melo-
dramatic value. but here Mr.. Hughes
employs it simply as lubricant for
greasiDg the dangerous curve. No mat
ter how his characters act. he never
seriously, and he has spr;nkled the pic
ture with amusing captions that keep
the onlookers from noticing they are
actually taking medicine.
Moreover the author has shown. in
his scenes of the office force rushing
out to luncheon and drifting back to
work laggardly. a capacity for thinking
IN terms or pictures that might well
be studied by photoplay writers who
still, describe in words the emotions of
their figures as though compiling a
catalogue. Miss Helene Chadwick is
charming both as girl and matured
woman. Richard Dix has pa" written
all over him, particularly when an
nouncing to the office that 'it's boy
and Maurice (Lefty) Flynn acts with
ease as the other man who makes this

CENTRAL-Hoot Gibson In "Sure Fire.
a Universal picture adapted from a
novel by Eugene Manlove Rhodes and
directed by Jack Ford. Scenario by
George Hull.

George Hull.
In this Western thriller the pull of a
child on a mother who is about to skip
the ranch for one of those smooth city
chaps is again in evidence. but this time
1t is primarily with the hope OF pulling
up the audiences emotions by the roots.
But that Is not the only feature of the
picture, for Hoot Gibson. in addition to
saving his married sister from this way
ward course, has to cope with no less
than two outlaw bands, do some hard
riding, save thousands of dollars from
the clutches of highwaymen and attend
fancy dress bail. SO in spite of the
vast distances a cowboys lot would not
appear to be lonesome. as he can always
find a little spare shooting TO do.
The headlong rides across country
with every one seemingly chasing every
one else, pulsate excitingly through the
story. and there is q snappy hand to
hand fight in a dark mountain cabin. go
that the spectator will know the climax
has been reached The picture sets out
quite frankly to be a thriller. and from
that angle It rides roughshod TO its
goal. Regardless of how sure" 1t is.
there Is certainly lot Of firing in this
melodrama.

smile. who makes his first appearance

of the town idler who was too lazy TO

Molly Malone Is engaging as the
heroine, though acting from an abun-
dance of the usual foolish motives. The
rest OF the cast never lose control, no
matter how fast the horses gallop.

fnN

Perhaps the authors in writing this
play had some famous star in mind
whose father Is O stage doorkeeper. and
felt that some acknowledgment should
at least be paid TO the part played in
back alley history by such a Cerberus
of the side entrance. At any rate the
stage doorkeeper, with regard to expell-
ing unwelcome suitors from theatre, is
here revealed in his true power.
Such a factotum practically adopts
o. girl who Is making her career in the
theatre, watching over her In a way
that could not be excelled by any pro-
fessional chaperon provided by n
Y. w. c. A. He seeks to shield her
from the advances of the wealthy
"angel' Of the show. follows her when
she goes to his room after perform
ance one night and there calls upon her
to choose between sthem and not keep
every one guessing any longer. That's
where strict attention is demanded so
that the beholder won't keep asking his
friend how they've worked n happy
ending out OF the rest OF the story. To
any one who knows life hebind the
scenes 1t may not always ring true. but
the public runs to such works with open

Toward Close
Profit Taking Effaces EARLY
Gains as Some Stocks
Reach Years High Mark;
Position of Exchanges

| With the Conference on tho Li,nita-
tion OF Armament scheduled to open
tomorrow, the European exchanges
were nervous and unsettled. Ster-
ling closed fractionally lower, and
the central and eastern European
exchanges which have been ap-
preaching worthlessness, were cas-
icr. Belgian, French and Italian cur
rencies were likewise quoted in dol
lars on slightly less favorable basis
| Despite the collapse in marks to the
lowest level in history at the begin
ming of the week, the fluctuations in
the exchange market generally were
within fairly narrow range. Highly
sensitive to outside factors, the ex-
changes will perhaps be more directly
| Affected by the events that take place
at Washington than any of the other
| financial markets. If out of the con-
ference should come agreements which
will reduce the expenditures of Euro
|pean countries for things martial, the
exchanges should reflect the tonic
which will make the balancing Of
budgets more feasible.
The approach Of the holiday to-day
was reflected in the stock market in
a slight contraction in activity which
expanded markedly on Wednesday and
also in elimination of profit taking
orders in the last hour. There was a
disposition on the part Of professional
spectators to even accounts.
Although the selling toward the
close effaced the larger share of the
gains earlier in the day, the market
tone was firm and steady. Many in
dividual stocks made new high marks
for the year before the reaction.
In the bond market there was fur
ther evidence that the wild rally of
last week had been checked, vet the
underlying strong position of invest
ment issues was still apparent. Deal,
ings, however, were on reduced
scale
AT the commodity exchanges prices
tended lower. In the absence Of con-
structive news wheat quotations,
which have recently been conspicu-
ously firm, reacted TX cents
bushel. Cotton, after losing / cent
pound on Wednesday. was quoted 80
to So points, or hundredths Of cent,
lower. The ginning figures, which in
dicate that the crop may reach I'll
100000 bales, instead Of 100000 less,
as predicted, caused the reaction.
Further Improvement in the basic
credit position was revealed by the
current weekly Federal Reserve Bank
statements.

Waiting on City's Program

9 Now that the election is history and
The Hylan administration is in the sad
die for another four years, Wall Street
is awaiting an announcement of what
the policy of the city is to be with re-
gard to financing. Several months ago
it was reported in banking circles that
after election. the city would probably
come into the market for $60,000,000 to
$10O,000.00 Of long-term bonds to fund
part of its large short-term paper. A
slight softening of New Yokk City
bonds yesterday was attributed in
some quarters to the prospects Of early
financing. Money market conditions
have changed since early in the year
in manner that would make the cost
of long-term financing to the city much
less than few months ago. Under
present conditions it is believed the
city could borrow on long-term bonds
for something under per cent. Comp
troller Craig has as yet given the
banks no intimation of what his plans
for financing are.

The daily gross production of crude
oil in the United States for the week
ended November was 1,192,38e bar
rels, compared with 1.190,38O barrels
for the preceding week, according to
figures compiled by the American Pc
troleum Institute. Production for the
week ended November 6, 1920. was
1,311,273 barrels, daily. Central and
North Texas and Wyoming and Mon
tana showed small increases in the
daily average for last week over the
preceding week, while other districts
showed decline. To the strike of the
workers in the California fields is at

Bargains" in Bonds

Investment bankers generally COM
mend the stand of the Commerce De-
partment in warning American inves-
tors to exercise care in purchasing
foreign bonds payable in deprecated
currencies in the expectations of real
izing enormous profits when exchange
values return to normal. One of the
worst features of this kind Of bust
ness is that in many cases firms offer
ing foreign currency issues have
quoted prices for such bonds far above
what current rates of exchange war
rant. For instance circulars have peen
sent out by one concern specializing
in Polish mark bonds Offering to in
vestors 10000 mark bonds of the City
of Warsaw at approximately $19. They
say among other things that with
Polish. money at normal value again
your bond would be worth SO, $50, or
$119 for every dollar you invest"
The investor is not told that it will
be long, long time before the Polish
mark goes back to par or anywhere near
par. Moreover the price of $40 quoted
for the 10000 mark bonds ought to
buy on the basis of current exchange
rates in excess of 10000 Polish marks.
In other words the investor is invited
to pay six times more than the mar
ket fos the City of Warsaw issue.

Haskell & Barker-Pullman Merger

In the discussion involving a merger
of the Pullman Company and the Has
kell & Barker Company it is reported
that shares of the consolidated cor
poration will be given to present share
holders in the ratio of 100 shares of
new stock for 100 shares of Pullman
and 80 shares of new stock for each
100 shares of Haskell & Barker. The
motive behind the merger is said to be
the desire of the Pullman Company to
extend its freight car building capacity.
Both companies are in strong financial
position. Haskell & Barker is earning
it's 50 annual dividend, with comfort
able margin to spare, and favorable
development announced yesterday was
that the Atchison has ordered 1850 re-
frigerator cars, to be divided between
this company. and the American Car
and Foundry. The cost of the cars is
estimated at $S,0O0,OO0.

name of the Delaware, Lackawanna &
Western coal properties after the coal
segregation plan had been consum-
mated. Several of the large stockhold-
ing interests have been asked for a
statement of their views regarding the
matter of Listing, the most important
obstacle to which seems to lie in the
necessity of preparing an enormous
amount of detail concerning the COM
pany's leases. etc, required under the
