mercial enterprises.
The chief functions Of the Renten-
bank were to provide a stable domes-
tic currency that would command the
confidence of the public and to as
sist the government to pay off its OBJ
legations to the Reichsbank and to
meet its current requirements pend
ing a more complete reorganization
of the entire fiscal and financial syt-
tenn of Germany. Borrowing by the
treasury from the Reichsbank, which
had been the principal occasion for
the issue of Reichsbank notes, came
to an end with the creation of the
Rentenbank. With the domestic de-
mand for currency and the fiscal
needs of the government thus tenn
porarily provided for through the
Rentenbank, a further step was taken
in April, 1924. when the German Gold
Discount Bank was organized for the
purpose of assisting German industry
and trade in securing necessary for
eign credits. One-half of the capital
of the Gold Discount Bank was sub
scribed by the Reichsbank on the
basis of foreign loan, and one-half
by a consortium of German banking
institutions.
The relationship between the
Reichsbank. the Rentenbank and the
Gold Discount Bank is of particular
interest at the present time, as the
three institutions are expected soon
to be consolidated and reorganized
into one new bank Of issue along the
lines proposed in the Dawes report.
The balance sheet of the Renten-
bank Of June 80. 1924, was as follows:

MARILYN HIT
IN STAGE
"PAN"

Jumping overnight from the
musical comedy stage into a star
Of the FIRST magnitude in the drama,
Marilyn Miller has scored a real
triumph in Buffalo this week in
"Peter Pam" in the revival Of
which Charles Dillingham; Is pre-
senting her.
The critics agreed unanimously
that her performance in the famous
Barrie role, first brought to the
attention Of the American public
by Maude Adams, is a sterling
thing and they aver that she has
created new character that is
as distinctive as was that which
Miss Adams gave to the country
years ago. Miss Miller's work
indeed Ii compared favurably with
that other star. Miss Adams, and
theater-goers OF this city are con-
graduating themselves that they
have been privileged to see in
advance Of New York the rise Of
another glowing figure on the
stage horizon.
The morning and evening papers
in reviewing the opening OF Peter
Pan" at the Majestic here last
night, unite in calling her per-
Torrance sensational and agree
that Mr.. Dillingham; has given
her a production Of outstanding
merit.

LITTLE THEATER
CROWDS OUT
STOCK

Lester Lonergan, general stage
director for William Harris, jr..
stopped his rehearsals Of "Of A
Sunday" which Mr.. Harris will
produce here shortly, to talk about
trends in the theater. Stock com.
panies are passing, the repertory
theater Is impracticable and the
little theaters are coming into
their own, according to Mr.. Lon
ergan.
81 have spent many years direct
ing stock companies, some Of them
the most successful in the country,
and from my knowledge Of the
BUSINESS conditions Of the last few
years, I believe that the stock
company is doomed to give way to
the smaller theater OF the semi
amateur type. There are several
factors that will make this change,
firstly most players Of reputation
cling more and more to New York.
The majority Of them today would
rather take pot luck at a chance
Of employment than to go on tour
with their original role. And the
UI0dklIik uOWn OI LAO OAO hIllAlo
of the theater season in New York,
the successes running through
the summer, makes the Broadway
market always a potential one.
It IL becoming more and more
difficult for stock companies TO
get the services Of featured players.
Then there is the cost OF things,
which really is as important. With
labor and materials so high the
unit of ones weeks playing, makes
the stock venture more precarious.
"These little theater groups have
interested me greatly. ] see pos
sibilities opening up for them.
Given good director, and some
one who has q good background
of art and literature associated,
the group has a good plant for
the development OF players. If the
group IL kept on q amateur basis,
or at least serni-amateur, the play
will be the thing, the financial
result only secondary. I look to
the little theater for the develop
ment also Of many plays that would
not find expression through the

JOHNSON DEMANDS
TWO-FISTED ACTION
Senator Says G. O. F. Needs a

CHARGES BRIBES TAKEN
Says It Is Useless to Call $780,
900 Deal a Loan.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MUSHROOM, Mich, March 6.-Sen-
ator Hiram w. Johnson, republican
candidate in the Michigan presiden-
tial primary, demanded "two-fisted
action against those involved in the
national oil scandal"
I'VE need Roosevelt in the ad-
ministration who will go at this thing
in a two -fisted manner" he declared.
1T is useless to say that the $780,
600 involved in the oil leases was
loan. When people are making loans
they do not stuff that amount of
money, in greenbacks. into a satchel,
carry it to New York and deliver it
to try and justify the leases. Public
officials are not being bribed for
worthless property"
The candidate appeared at noon
day meeting in Battle Creek. before
the combined luncheon clubs of the
city. Last night he spoke at an open
meeting in Muskegon. The addresses
were virtually identical.
There was no let-down in his in
sistence that the republicans clean
house in their own party.
Let US go on with the courage that
belongs to our party and clean house"
he exhorted his listeners. IF we do
not the people will in this very year.
The speaker adhered closely to the
general platform he outlined in Grand
Rapids when he opened his Michigan
campaign Tuesday night.
Senator Johnson will return to this
state about April 1 to carry his cam
paign UP the eastern side of the state.
He will conclude his present speaking
trip in Lansing Thursday night, after
which he will go into Illinois for two
days and then to South Dakota.
