L Director Irving Cummings of
Virginia Valli, in directing one of her
pictures.
Faster than that" replied Miss
Valli.
20. X. Turn them on. We want
some close-ups," said Cummings.
In exactly two and a half minutes
she was shedding real tears. Miss
Valli explained her ability to cry so
easily.
II cry quickest when 7 am angry,
explained Miss Valli. But l don't
like to have the director make me
mad, because it spoils the day. So
I usually think of my troubles. 1t is
convenient to keep two at least on
tap. If one doesn't work, then try
tho other. Music, contrary to the
general belief, is of no great assist
ance to me. We become accustomed
to even the saddest music"

WALL STREET STOCK
 EXCHANGE REPORTS

New York, March 21-Stock prices
 displayed considerable irregularity at the opening of today's stock market. Norfolk & Western dropped S-S on profit-taking but good buying per- | sisted in the other rails, particularly the Wabash issues. Studebaker and
 Maxwell A showed signs of recovsry but some other motors continued un- der pressure.
 Except for the weakness of Nor folk & Western, which extended it's loss to 5-S points on reports that the interstate commerce commission might not approve the proposed lease to the Pennsylvania. The rails were firm. Atlantic Coast Line and New Orleans, Texas & Mexico each rising 2 points. U. S. Rubber common and first preferred dropped 11s and 21a points to 29 IA and 76h. respec- lively, each at new 1924 lows while American Beet Sugar slumped point to 36, also a new bottom price for the year. Central Leather pre- ferred moved upward but American  Hide and Leather preferred was heavy. Utah Copper dropped IF. Establishment of new 1924 high by the French franc marked the ir- regular foreign exchange market.
 With the technical position of the market fayoring a comeback. the list rallied vigorously in the afternoon under the leadership of the oils, many of which advanced 1 to points. Good overnight gains were registered by some of the earlier weak shares. Woolworth scared points to new high figure of 233.
 The closing was irregular. Strength of high priced specialties, particular ly General Electric, Fisher Body, National Lead and Corn Products which moved up to 7k points featured the late dealings. Stock prices showed an improved tone in today's relatively quiet market. Bear traders were unable to force a re- currence of general selling pressure but they succeeded in uncovering of additional weak spots dur ing the early trading. Sales ap- proSimated S00,000 shares.

 The petition demands that a system of contracts existing between the Gen. eral Electric company and the several concerns engaged in the distribution of lamps manufactured by the com pany be adjudged violation of the Sherman antitrust law and that they be ordered annulled.

 With the General Electric company, the Westinghouse Electric and Manu- featuring company and the Nesting house Lamp company are named as co-defendants.

 The suit was filed under the direc- tion of Attorney General Oaugherty. It harks back to patent rights clairH. cd by the General Electric company for exclusive manufacturing of tung- sten filaments used in the better type of electric light bulbs.
