ASK SUGAR-COFFEE
EXCHANGE CLOSING
u. S. Would Force Reorganl-
zation Within Law, in Su-
preme Court Brief.

The governments efforts to close
the New York Coffee and Sugar EN-
change. and the New York Coffee and
Supar Clearing Association for viola
+ion of the Sherman antitrust law
and the tariff act of 1913 were con-
tinued Yesterday, when Attorney Cen
eral Daugherty filed in the Supreme
Court a brief in the case decided
against the government in the fed
eral district court in New York city.
The case is set for argument in the
Supreme Court November IL.
Alleging that the exchange and the
clearing association constitute con-
spiracy in restraint of interstate and
foreign commerce in raw and refined
sugar, the government asked the
court to enjo1n all transactions upon
the exchange. This, it stated. would
have the effect of closing the ex-
shanEe, but would result in no mate
rial Inconvenience because another
exchange would be Immediately or
ganized which would comply with the
law.
Should the court refuse to close the
exchange the government would have
il require both the exchange and the
clearing association to bring their
practices within the federal laws. To
do that the brief insisted, the eX-
change must permit, the delivery of
sugar and modify its rules and regu-
lations so as to prohibit transactions
except by the owner or grower Of
sugar or one owning or renting land
upon which 1t is produced or by rep
resentatives of such persons.
The government would have the de-
cree drawn. however, SO as to permit
all so-called Legitimate hedging upon
the exchange"

Miss Helburn is i'll Washington on

which is putting on a repertoire of
plays this week at the Belasco The
ater. So tremendous has been the
success of the guild in New York
city that II is considering meeting
the popular demand of other cities to
send out selected road companies to
act the Broadway shows that seldom
get out of Manhattan.
Baltimore was the first city in which
the idea was tried and Washington is
now enjoying the experiment. The
response here, Miss Helburn said, Is
spontaneous. This year series of
three plays will be offered, covering a
period of one week. Next year the
number may be increased and the
company kept here several weeks.
The idea has never before been at
tempted and Miss Helburn said the
guild wished to determine whether it
would meet with public approval be-
fore enlarging it.
Art for Arts Sake.
The Theater Guild is an organiza-
tion that was started in New York
five years ago with $50 patrons. ded-
icated to the task of building an
art theatre where drama in America
could be developed for arts sake
rather than commercial gain. All
profits earned by the guild are turned
back into its treasury to carry out
the plans. Today the guild has more
than 5000 annual patrons in New
York alone, and raised by popular
subscription, in a year. nearly mill
lion dollars.
Some of the better known plays
IT has produced are MIR. PIN Passes

Pretty Girl Is Stage Failure

Career Lures More
Than EUer, But

Beauty is an important quality for
girls who long for careers on the
modern stage. but 1t takes second
place to personality. in the opinion
of Miss Theresa Helburn, casting
director of nearly a dozen highly
successful New York productions in
the past two years and managing
director of the Theater Guild, Inc,
of New York city.
"A pretty girl. of course, has
much easier time on the stage than
one who has not been so lavishly
endowed by nature, provided all
other things are equal" said MISS
Helburn. But the girl without abil-
ity and personality cannot possibly
hope to succeed behind the footlights,
though she may be radiant as god

Flock to New York.
The lure of the stage is attracting
more girls to New York than ever,
said Miss Helburn. Many OF them
come from small communities and
imagine the sole endowment neces-
sary to stardom is good looks. Not
infrequently they will even impress
traces of a genuine personality.
I'VE always take them around to
some theater at rehearsal time" con-
tinued Miss Helburn, throw the foot
lights on them and ask them to read
some simple part. 1t is surprising
10 see how suddenly they simply fade
away. Their beauty and their social
personality disappear simply because
they cannot get it across the 1oot-
lights. My advice to the stage-struck
girl is to forget it, if possible.
Most Aspirnnts Fail.
Life behind the footlights is hard.
To win the girl must have beauty
nersonality and ability. A college
education is not necessary, nor neces-
sarily desirable. But the number or
girls who manage to succeed even in
small parts Is deplorably low in COM

of their pre-war tonnage, and after all
the water has been pumped out of the

predicted, will be greatly surpassed.
Some difficulty is being experienced in
