'sBroken Chains ut Ditmas

Picture patrons here had an OPP
portunity at the Ditmas theatre last
night of seeing the photoplay made
from the $4,000 prize-winning
scenario, Broken Chains" in the
great scenario contest conducted by
the Chicago Daily News early in the
year.
Broken Chains is a tremendous
ly e~ngrossing drama of mans regen-
Grafton from cowardice through an
appeal to his c~hivairous nature.
There is a gorgeous fist fight in the
film in which it would seem that
ievery bone in the bodies of NAL
colin McGregor and Ernest Terrence
would have been broken in their en-
counter over the rescue of Mercy
Boone, the young wife chained and
~padlocked in the cabin of her brutal
husband.
The production is elaborate and
the settings amid the giant red
woods, majestic and beautiful. Col
.een Moore outshines her previous
roles as Mercy Boone. She sets a
pace for natural and effective screen
acting that is CONTAGIOUS, for all the
other members of the cast keep up
with her. The picture was worth
the prize and the generous produc-
ton given it.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-01-05

, notable picture products yet created
for the screen.
Not only in the size" of the pro-
duction, but in it's Intimacy" is art
value being recognized: not only
does it appeal to the youngsters, but
to the matured as well.
1t seems to be as nearly perfect as
a picture play can be, an entertain
ment for everybody. Even the pc
dant and library bookworm, for
whom the theatre usually exertS but
the slightest influence, as concerned
with 'Oliver Twist to see in what
manner the literary spirit of Charles
Dickens is set forth upon the screen
and by what processes of elimination
the narrative Us composed by the
immortal novelist have been applied
to reduce the story matter to the
limits of a screen presentation.
That Frank Lloyd, in making the
adaptation, has employed the rarest
judgment and keenest sympathies is
unanimously agreed by Perth Anboy
patrons; that the production is all
that was claimed for it is likewise
agreed and that little Jackie Coogan,
the bright star of a brilliant aggre-
cation of players, is at the very apex
of his matured yet youthful art is
overwhelmingly conceded.

BANK REPORT IS
OPTIMISTIC NOW
REGARDING |. V.
This Year Best Since
1920; Cotton Crop
Prospects Good

Increasing optimism has pervaded
the business community of the Paci-
fic-Southwest during September,
as the usual fall increase in busi-
ness activity has made itself felt
according TO the financial report of
the Pacific-Southwest Bank s re-
search department for October.
This expansion has been accom-
panied by the gradual and orderly
marketing of most fall crops and
growing confidence that general
prosperity will eontinue throughout
the winter months.
No small part of the present feel
ing has been caused by the improve
ment in agricultural marketing
conditions which has been suffici-
of the erop-moving sN1son there
viii have been a general reduction
in the outstanding obligations of
agricultural communities. although
this progress viii not have been
sufficient to entirely liquidate
those obligations which have ae-
cumulated during the past several
years in number of important agri-
cultural centers.
The usual reduction in estimated
cotton production did not develop
during September, and prices have
tended TO increase. SO far as
producers are concerned the live
stock situation continues to work
toward gradual improvement, due in
no small measure to the increasing
inability of producers to supply the
Southern California market.
Valley Improves
The Imperial Valley situation i'm
proves steadily and with the pres
ent strong cotton prices the valley
is expected to be in much bet
ter position than at any time since
1920 by the close Of the present
crop year.
In other words, in spite of spotted
conditions and uncertainties in n
good many lines, the basic economic
situation within the P3cific-SOuth-
west is SO strong and favorable that
the stimulus of fall trade has been
sufficient to create q general spirit
of tempered optimism which argues
for continued prosperity during the
winter, with the spirit of caution
sufficiently in evidence to indicate
that business will be generally main
tanned on conservative lines without
speculation or initiation.
