last shipment of $500 tons left the
island on January IL for Germany,
completing an output of 100000 tons,

American Theaters Corporation,
composed of British and American
financiers and theatrical mana
gers, for the purpose of acquiring
lighthouses in London, New York,
Chicago, Boston and elsewhere and
the carrying on of the business of
theater owners, producers and the
allied operations.
Negotiations toward this end
have been going on for some
months here between the Amerl-
cans interested in the venture and
G.. Trafford Hewitt, the proposed
treasurer of the organization and
representative of the British in
terests involved.
The Americans who will be
identified with the company, in
addition to Mr.. Woods, comprise
