SWEEPING REDUCTIONS
IN S%TUDEBAKER PRICES

sweeping reductions in-p prices OF
all closed cars just announced by
the Studebaker Corporation, nave
stirred the motor car industry as
nothing else that has occurred during
the Silver Anniversary automobile
show. by reason of their effect on
cars in all price ranges.
Two important cuts in prices were
those of the Big Six Sedan and Ber-
line, largest of Studebaker products.
the two cars which nave been cred
tied by notables visiting the show
as having been responsible for wide
cuts in price announced by several
cars in the so-called $4,000 and
upward class.
Most important of the matters of
interest which have developed at the
show this year have been price re-
auctions made during the week, in
the effort to cover the gap beneath
the quality and character of Stude-
baker cars in all three GLASSES A
character made possible by the enor-
nous production which the company
brought about during the last three
months of 1924.
During that quarter, Studebaker
sales, announced President A. r.
Erskine, exceeded those of the same
quarter of last year, which had es-
tablished a previous record, by SO
per cent. 1t was the Corporations
biggest final quarter.
Studebaker officials waited until
all the other price reductions had
been made and there was much
comment among notables at the
show of what would result from
this new situation, with other
makers prices seeking to offset
the quality character of Studebaker
products. Now comes the Stude-
baker announcement of reduced
prices. and the gap is once more
widened. 1t is made possible, said
Mr.. Erskine. because of the larger
production in the company's $780,
100000 plants, and because the
company makes the entire car,
avoiding payment of extra costs to
makers of separate parts. He gave
the 1,500 dealers and executives
present when the announcement
"ao hL&oS PolhtSo dhC tidt
no curtailment, direct or indirect,
in the quality of the cars them
selves, would be made.
The new Studebaker prices on
closed cars are as follows, f. o. b.
the factories, effective at once:
Special Six Victoria 1896. Re
duction of s155. Sedan $19S5. Re-
duction of s165. Big Six Coupe
$2450. Reduction of 5000. Sedan
$2575. Reduction of $210. Berline
1880. Reduction of $210.
To accomplish the sales record of
the last three months the big fac
tories had to run at almost full
capacity. Mr.. Erskine has given
Vice President Max Wollering, for
manufacture and Vice President
Harry L. Biggs and Sales Manager
Harold S. Vance for sales, a sche-
dule that will come within IS per
cent of the full capacity of the en-
tire plant facilities.

1t will also be interesting to know
how the states tax dollar is ex
pended. Although this represents
but a very small proportion Of tie
taxes paid by the residents of the
state, there is but a small part OF
it which is directly expended by the
state officers. The cost of opera
ton of the state university takes
the major portion, or ia per CEN
of the states tax dollar; charitable
institution in next for 14.1
per cent, and the highways, another
expensive department, take 14.2 pei
cent. The cost of the general ad
n.inistration 1913 per cen
of the states tax dollar and mis-
cellaneous activities not classified
take IA per cent; for educational
purposes other than university, 6.s
per cent is used and the judiciary
expence is 6 per cent of the taN
dollar. The game and fish depart
ment gets 5.5 per cent; engineering
water contioi, etc., 20 pei cehl, as
riculture 2 per cent; military 2 pei
cent; livestock II per cent and law
enforcement, the least of all, IL
Fer cent.
The state administration controls
the expenditure of 14.14 per cen
of every dollar which is paid by
the taxpayers; the county com
missioners expend 800 per cent o.
the taxes collected, although a cor
siderable portion of this amount
must be paid out in accordance witt
provisions of the statutes, and thost
in charge of municipalities have the
expenditure of 42.S per cent of tas
monies collected from residents liv.
ing within corporate limits.

HIPPITY HOP

While the sponsors for Hip.
pity Hop" the current attraction
at the Gayety, have given the
show a nonsensical title, they
have produced an entertainment
that is exceptionally meritorious.
There is wealth of good music,
well sung, comedy situations that
are really funny and some nifty
dancing, with an interpreting
company that occupies the top
rung on the burlesque ladder.
Peck and Kplb are the producers.
Abe Reynolds, one of the ablest
depictors of the Hebrew charac-
ter in burlesque, heads the COM
pany and he had his audience
laughing all the time. Reynolds
J is funny without being offensive.
With Lew Eewis he was a scream
in a baseball sketch.
The company is especially
strong in feminine talent. Lora
Carol has a fine soprano voice
and her duets with Lui Ring and
Andy White were gems. Miss
Carol is mighty easy on the eye

GORILLA" STILL
Soaring FOLKS
TO DEATH

Thrilling excitement and laugh
ter are combined in about equal
parts in THE Gorilla" now in
Belasco Theater here. The play
is wholly entertaining; for this,
one can forgive it anything else
it lacks. It Is true that the au-
thor has left many things unex-
planned, but these loose ends are
relatively. unimportant. He, by
transgressing the rules of stage
composition in certain particu-
lars, has given us a play that is
fully worth the price. Why
cavil then, when, IL he had been
slavishly bound by rule, he
might have. written a less enter
tanning piece Of work. Person
ally, it doesn't matter so much
if small details are left unex-
planned as long as the play COM
pels undivided attention.
Many articles are used to
heighten the situation in The
Gorilla many of these situa-
tons being spooky, indeed.
A flashlight, falling across a
darkened stage, reveals the hid
eous face of q beast; a revolver
shot flames in the darkness; a
woman screams; wells open 81
lently and forbodingly, and
! through 1t all Stride those two
amiable clowns, Detectives Null
hgan and Clarity.
The humor of the piece is de-
lightful. 1t is the broad, rib
tickling kind that sends you back
in your seat with the tears roll
ing down your eaeeks. This re-
viewer hasn't laughed so much
in months.
The cast deserves warm praise,
particularly Clifford Dempsey and
Frank Mccormack, seen as the
detectives. Miss Betty Weston
has the only feminine role in
the production and acquits herself
well. Stephen Maley, as Jeffer-
son Lee, the negro servant, is
amusing.
If you have a heart strong
enough to stand excitement and
a system that needs some good,
loud guffawing, see THE GORILLA. :"

About the only time an elder
Iy dramatic critic boasts of his
age is when he confronts re-
vival. Then he prattles OF
names and dates and compare
sons with the avidity of a
small boy inventorying the pro-
ceeds of his forays into the for
hidden orchard. This is true
not only of professional critics,
but of the best part of our
citizenry who are beginning to
shed around the top of their
respectable pates. There's a
kind fulfillment Of some graft
fication or other in identifying
yourself as a charter member
at the christening of something
that is good enough to be trot-
ted out from time to time for
secondary appraisals.
And so we have always the
"I remember when" clan and
they seem to be constantly bal
loting for everything that ante
dated the nineties. God forgive
them.
AS for me, am not quite
yet the "six and forty" which
is the worst thing PAULA Tan
querary can wish anyone; a
woman in that case. So those
who care to trot out their
Campbells and Nethersoles and
Gladys Coopers for painstaking
battering of the Barrymore
ramparts may do so and they
will be courteously received in
the order in which they appear
and asked to call again.
To me the Barrymore Paula
is complete and robustly and
beautifully done. Whatever the
mood of the moment-frivolous,
catty or one of an outraged
sensibility - Nj SIS Barrymore
meets with irresistible honesty
and flame. She seemed a little
exasperatingly doleful in the
first scene Of the last act but
this, / believe, is Paula as much
as it is Ethe% A guilty woman
ever on the alert for affronts
must needs eventually break
under the strain and regard the
entire universe as pitted against
her. And Paula is a lone and
tragic figure cudgeling her own
conscience, the snobbish aloof-
ness of her neighbors and the
bitter indifference of her step
child.
l get from the Barrymore pic
ture the completest conception
of the futility in living down a
past.
