you study and play Shakespeare. the more you live him. the tighter grip the immortal bard gets on you.
 An actor can't flirt' with Shakes peare, as it were. Do you understand what I mean? He can't pick up Shakespeare and play the great classic roles as though they were merely to be memorized and recited The actor must study Shakespeare all the time never Tagging; not putting down the plays and picking them up again, but sticking closely to them and studying and playing them constantly In other words one must specialize in Shakes peare as in anything else to be suc- cessful Shakespearean actor. I could no more jump in and play a role like DeWolff Hopper is playing in Err mimic than he could play Macbeth. In other words, to be really great Shakespearean actor and scholar one must make life study of the great Bard of Avon"

Improved Trade Seem in
Merchandise Movements
BY DICK SMITH

Special Dispatch to The Star
KANSAS CITY, September 29.--The
railroads in this section report that the
volume of merchandise moving in and
out of Kansas City indicates a decided
improvement in business conditions. The
rush of grain to market has slowed
and the movement Of coal continues low,
but shipments of wheat and flour have
more than doubled those for similar
period last year. The financing Of this
great movement. in addition toprovid-
ing for other crops and for eXtraor-
binary conditions in the live stock in
6ustry, have prevented banks from con-
tinuing to reduce loans at the rate
which prevailed earlier. but rates for
borrowed money have not been affected
and it is apparent that ample funds are
available for all requirements.
w. T. Kemper, chairman of the board
of the Commerce Trust Company. one OF
the largest banks of the southwest. de-
clares, however, that despite these in
dications the final solution of the difti-
culiies of this section awaits the re-
opening of the European markets.

STRONGER TONE
BY STUART p. WEST.

WALL STREET. New York. 'Septem-
ber 29.-The stock market showed
much more interest today than it had
yesterday in the continuing signs of
a turn for the better in the business
situation.
Nothing developed further in the
trade news today beyond what had
been perfectly well known the day
before. 1t was simply case of a
somewhat tardy recognition of the
Importance of such items as the in
crease in steel prices, the big 5,000.-
008- 8-pound buying order for the copper
metal and the general raising of oil
quotations % cents a barrel.
The only new contribution at all this
morning was the disclosure in the six
months report of Sinclair Oil that
speculative Wall street went far
astray when it figured a month ago
that inventory write-offs would wipe
out current profits for most of the oil
producers.
Sinclair EarninEs.
Sinclair like Cosden. which reported

looking for a deficit, necessarily
brought about sharp change of SEN
timent toward tle oil group in gen.
sral..
Oil shares took the lead when busi-
ness began this morning, but the fact
that the oils were eSbecoming more
responsive to their trade advices en-
steals and the 'coppers.
There was no question that the
large purchase Of the copper metal
announced Tuesday afternoon had
stiffened the market and led the lead
ing producers to hold eff for higher
prices.
The Oil Advance.
While a 25-cent per barrel increase
in the selling price of oil does not
seem much in comparison to the de-
cline of $3.50 to 81, which preceded
it. the advance is important because
all of the oil companies have their
storage tanks filled with oil which
they have been carrying at 81 bar
rel or less. In consequence the in
crease means marking up the value of
their inventory by at least 25 per
cent.
Gulf States Steel.
Gulf States Steel continued today
to discount the better condition of
tne company. "OIu came from the
headquarters in Birmingham that it
has steadily speeded up operations
since August l. Average production
in August was about 40 per cent.
while the September average has
moved up to 60 per cent. Orders. for
rails are reported to have been large
