NEW YORK, March 10. -- The
value Of buildings for which per-
mits were granted last month in
141 cities far surpassed that OF
any previous February in the
country's history, the total amount
being $f22, ,6s4,71e, it was report
ed today by Bradstreet's. This fig.
ure was a decrease of 5.3 per cent
from the longer month of January
this year, during which the total
reached $129, 9,555, ,4o4, but it was
gain OF 66 per cent over February,
1921.
Reports showed the increase
was made "despite a good deal of
storm weather, the failure of con-
tractors and labor unions to agree
on wages in several important
cities, and the fact that the 1921
boom in building was already
making itself felt in enlarged to-
tails a year ago in February"

pictures should have recognized
stars in the casts and tell a dramat-

thrillers were obviously not what
the public wanted. He interview
ed we'll known Broadway theatrical
stars. They would not go into mo-
ton pictures, they told Mr.. Zukor,
because it would endanger their
reputation to appear in such a
cheap vehicle as a motion picture.
Accordingly, he went to the top

art to pictures. The first picture
was Queen Elizabeth" It mark
ed the beginning of the modern
film play-the renaissance of the
film industry.
Other Stars Enter.

K. Hackett, Mrs. Fiske. Mary Pick

nearby Lasky Ranch of 1900 acres

exterior backgrounds. The success
of the Lasky-DeMille picture was
the signal for the entrance of 9TH
