Hour After Morning of
Much Pressure

NEW YORK. April 8 CUnited
Press. Stocks were subjected TO
considerable pressure from realizing
sales during the first hour OF trading
on the New York Stock Exchange
today and the market displayed ir-
regularity while this liquidation was
being absorbed. But during the last
hour. the whole list strengthened and
a large number OF issues particularly
the railroad group, attained the
highest levels seen this year.
Gulf States Steel continued its
rapid advance. and Mexican Petro-
leum extended its previous high
limit, while Reading. Rock Island,
Missouri Pacific. Common and Pre-
ferred, Baltimore and Ohio and many
other low priced rails bettered their
1922 high figures.
Interboro Consolidated Issues were
one OF the features OF the first hour.
Preferred sold at a new high for the
move at 1873, up SIS from Thurs
days low. This gain was made in
the face OF a recently announced
plan for readjustment of Interboro
securities.
Conflicting price movement on
heavy scale transactions gave the
market a confused appearance.
After a furry which carried Gulf
States of point or so from the
opening II resumed its sensational
rise, advancing to s47s, up 1879 from
Thursdays low. Coincident with the
further advance in Gulf States, the
rumor again spread that Henry Ford
was negotiating for purchase OF the
company.

on the move at s2%. The strength
was attributed to the favorable rate
OF current earnings.

Office Burlesque
 Blow To MOnOtOny

i London, April 28-Anxious about | the results of the monotony and dull i ness of London commercial offices, 1 society is being formed with the in tentIon of brightening the existence | of these dark places so far as may 1 be possible.
 It is pointed out that hundreds of thousands of people live the greater part of their lives in the dingy insti- tutlons known as offices and that the atmosphere therein must have it's ef- rect on their dispositions when else where. Anything, therefore, that can help to make offices places of de- light must be for the good of the com nunity at large.
 The first great attack is to be made on the monotonous, tapping type writer It is suggested that, wherever possible, musical typewriters should be installed forthwith and that steno- graphers should be instructed in the art of playing their correspondence to airs that might be deemed ap- propriate.
 Invoices, it is pointed out, might be typed on an appealing note, pianissi- mo and long drawn out, while re- ce1pts might be rattled off to bright music from the latest revue. Per- sonal letters dictated by the heads of firms should be switched on to music of the latest amorous ballad, and re- plies to demands for quicker service should be written to the music of a mediaeVal minuet.
 WhiStling Classes for Office Boys A certain amount of attention. also, should be devoted to the better mu- sical education of the office boy, Whistling classes should be arranged Tor them every morning, and com petent siffleurs should be engaged to make certain that no hidden talent in this direction should lie unused, It is matter of common knowl- edge that great talent in the direc- ton ot whistling is either wasted or t1h Any latent genius of this character should not be allowed to be hidden lar less ppressed-among this i'm portant section of the community and for the benefit of all any talent of this kind should be given the high est and most sympathetic encourage ment.
 The services of cartoonist might also be usefully employed. He might give instruction on the best way to enEVen the margins of the firms ac- count books and Ietterheads with humorous caricatures of the various geSted that he might do a funny blacll-and-white drawing of the boss to be pasted on the safe for the edif- cation of all.
 Jokes for Phone Walters
 Again, demands for payment might be made out on a special paper, with T picture of the firms lawyer, armed to the teeth, standing out firmly
 
 gesting the ultimate fate of the de faulting debtor.
 Telephone operators, also, might help in this brightening process They might be taught either to tell funny jokes to waiting subscribers or to engage them in polite and improv- ing conversation.
 For instance: 50 sorry your line is busy says the operator "but have you read Broken Windows?,
 Who is it by" asked the sub scriber.
 Eva Brick" is the reply.
 An office run on these lines should be bright, snappy, contemplating and efficient.

MARY PICKFORD WOULD

Mary Pickford, recognized as the greatest de1ineator of child life upon the screen declares that she would grown up film lady. Not that I am dissatisfied with my child roles,'' said Kiss Piclford. flor I love them dearly, but I feel that as a celIu1oid kiddie I am som newhat bound down by limitations. Of course. there is nothing finer than interpret ing child life. It is a field rich in heart interest and human appeal. And at the same time 1t is the kind of satisfying. But all my life I have wanted to do something equally as good in a grown-up part"
 Little Mary" s'it Is probably be cause I never had a childhood of my own. You might say that I was grown up at the age of five. for that a child actress I appeared in road shows. travelling about the country aI- most constantly. I couldn't play on trains because I had to study. and I couldn't play in hotels or theatres be- cause 1t made too much noise So I take great delight in enjoying my childhood now, in my work before the camera
 Some day I hope 1t will be differ ent. I should like very much to try to contribute something else to the art of the photoplay, even if I could do it only once successfully; if I could only convey that simple sincere woman.

POIi Review

'HThe Night Rose" one of the latest screen dramas, is a novel production of the San Francisco underworld pc litical life. It is overdone in most parts and the plot is weak through out The principal actors, at least most of them. with the posslpie eE- ception of Lew Chaney, are of the al. fected type. and were unworthy or the good Irish names when were prevalent in the cast. There are !aN- ish scenes in the film, and eXcel1ell photographic work. The action IS slow, and the fight in Black Mlke cafe too tame.
 Jay Velie, with a mighty good dan cling act, heads the vaudeville bill The only thing a@niss in the act Is hls little speech advising boys to take their girls somewhere else, and not go to vaudeville shows. It was not comedy The four dancing girls are top notchers, as we'll as MT VeI1e, when it comes to singing and dan cing It is one of the best dancing acts seen here in a 1Gng time.
 Bobby Watson with Mabel Ferry, have a novelty act that is of the mu- sicaI comedy type and good. Maxine and Bobby, a trick dog act, is good, the canine carrying off all the honors. Firmin and Olsmith, two girls from Oklahoma" are lively and snappy in a musical act with plenty of laughs. Robinson and Pierce in f'No More Sa- loons'' is fair act, being an old row between hubby and wife over the pay check. It brings a good laugh though, and is rather entertaining.

In The Theatres
DAWES.

In Peacock Alley which yester- day began a three day run at the Dave theatre, Mae Murray does the most striking characterization of her career. It is a picture which to the natural interest of a powerful love story is added the attraction of gor- geous settings and wonderful cos tunes.
 The story opens in a. small Amer ican village, shifts to Paris, back to the village and then to New York. It pictures the adventures of a Partisan dances who forsakes the p1audits and fauors of the gay city of pleasure to become the wife of a small town American youth only to find that her husbands people are scandalized at her and will have nothing to do with her. Then the youthful lovers try to make their way in New York but the big city proves full of troupIe which the lovers finally solve but not in the way that either expected.
 As Cleo of Paris. the dancer, Miss Murray does the finest acting of any of her pictures. There is no artist on the screen that can display gorgeous costumes to better advantage than the blonde star and she has a wealth of them in Peacock Alley

 These little wooden headed actors have endeared themselves to all who have ever witnssed a performance given with them, and they should please young and old alike when they render the well known story.
