OWE MOORE AT
LIBERTY TONIGHT

All the natural wit and humor
possessed by happy-go-lucky Owen
Moore and the added ingenuity of
screen craftsmanship is solidly in
jected into "Piccadilly JIM" Moore's
first picture under the Selznick ban
ner, which opens at the Liberty to-
night.
Owen Moore as "Pfccadilly Jim, -
the devil-may care hero in p. G..
Warehouses; famous Saturday Even
ing Post story of the same name,
returns to his American public with
a freshness and determination that
is as conspicuous as it is entertain
ing.
Director Wesley Ruggles and Cam
eraman George Peters have made
sure that "Piccadi1ly Jim" will sur
prise and delight the most critical of
picture patrons, and to make their
efforts all the more convincing, many
unusual and noteworthy angles in
settings and photography have been
effected. including many ingenious
takes" on New York's elevated
trains and some Short and long
"shots" of New Yopkls Great White
Way at the mystic hour of midnight.
Another episode of "The Whirl-
wind" completes the bill, which opens

BLOCK TRADE
With RUSSIA
Soviet Government Refuses to
Lower Bars to World
Wide Commerce.

ONSTANTINOPLE, May Ann
ercan and other business men to
whom the correspondent talked dur
ing an eight months stay just COM
pleted in Russia declared that bust
ness could be done with Russians
provided the Soviet government
would take down all its customs
barriers and permit free trade with
the outside VOID in the same sense
that it now permits free trade in
side Russia.
The problem which is interesting
business men all over the world
seems to hinge on the attitude of
the Communists. Up to now they
have insisted that all foreign trade
must pass through their hands. This
is party a matter of politics and
party a matter of personal compen-
sation They wish to keep all the
power in their hands in order to
maintain themselves.
The Communists are in a decided
dilemma. If they insist on con-
trolling foreign trade, they fear that
Russia is doomed. If they surrender
their power and Russia Is saved,
they believe they will be slowly
showed aside.
A second condition outlined to
the correspondent by these business
men of the old regime in Russia is
quick and absolute return to pri-
Wi6aQnrQp6
indications that, by the force of cir
cumstances. private property will be
recognized in every part of Russia,
Moscow decree to that effect has
been expected for many months.
The question of guarantees is an
other point that is constantly raised
in connection with doing business
with Soviet Russia Old business
men say that this is one of the
chances that foreigners must take
if they wish to do business with
Russia. There is no doubt at the
present time that the Soviet officials
are in a frame of mind to try to
uphold any guarantees they give.
The Italians in ConstantinOple
versed in the Black Sea trade have
been doing a certain amount of bust
ness every year but they find it very
difficult. One of the members of the
Italian Embassy in Constantinople
complained that whenever an Italian
cargo went into Russia it always
meant the intervention of diplomatic
agents backed by warships before
the final sale was made.
Admiral Mark l.. Bristol, United
States High Commissioner here, has
claimed for years that If Americans
go boldly into Russia and into
Turkey they will profit by their in
vestments in the end.

Another strange fish, similar to

receipt of many inquiries from
ichthyclOgists throughout the main

emeritus of Stanford University and

probably one of the species known
as the moon fish, whose habitat is
the Pacific Ocean; especially near
the California coast.
