UPWARD MOVEMENT
 CONTINUES TODAY
Market Reacting Favorable to
 Brisk Demands
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
 New York, Nov. 5.-Resumption of the upward movement in today's stock market was accompanied by a broader and brisller demand, indi- eating 10 some observers an eX- pansion into public participation. Subsistence of bear pressure and the apparent abundance of funds avail able on call loans stimulated pool operations in various speculative groups.
 Higher dividends by a number of small industrial companies in the last few days review hopes of simi- lar action on some of the industrial and railroad leaders before the end of the year. The only business news Of any consequence was q small re- cession in Steel Ingot production in the first week of the month, but this was offset by the announcement that subsidiaries of the U. S. Steel Corporation had received orders fer 1S0,00 tons of rails in the last week of October.
 Chesapeake and Ohio, which lost two points in the early trading was an exception to the general upward trend of the railroad shares. Allan tic Coast Lines was bid up 3 points; Frisco 2, and & number of others a point or more.
 
 Revival of activity and strength in Warren Pictures "A" followed the announcement that negotiations were nearing completion for the showing of it's vitaphone service In several of the large theaters in the country controlled by Famous Play, CTS and others. Baldwin and '. s. Steel common led the advance in the standard industria1s, with sharp gains also being recorded by num- Der of specialties such as Savage Arms, Manhattan Electrical Supply Remington Typewriter and Com mercisl Solvents "B", all of which sold to 6 points above yesterdays final quotations.
 Wall Street Opening.
 With railroad traffic being main talned in recoi l-breaking volume. despite the reported slackening in some lines of industry, aggressive pool operations were conducted in several of the railroad and equip ment shares. Over a dozen issues in those groups moved up a point or more within the first half hour, the list including Rock Island, Le- high Valley, Wheeling and Lake Erie common and preferred, Atchi- son, Baldwin and American Locomo- tive. Jersey Central jumped , IA points on the first sale. Buying in the general list was rather selective in character. Aided by relatively easy money rates and an abundance of funds available on stock collater- al, pools staged demonstrations in several issues in which special de- velopments, such as increased divi- dends or stock split-ups are believ- ed to be pending. With the theater season in full swing and business in the leading cities reported in large volume. amusement shares obtained fair sized following. Only few weak spots cropped out in the early trading. Chandler-Cleveland Motors common and preferred being con spicuous through the establishment of new low levels for the year.

delineation of an everyday character.
Louis John BartelS, as the show-off,
is a distintegrating and derangtng In
fluence In q we'll ordered, sane and
human little family whose daughter
he comes to court. The laughter of
an audience Is at and against the
show-off, not with him. He is q minor

workshop and the here and there of
everyday existence. The reaction to
him is that of wishing to see him fail.
Nc one believes he would be success,
with the best Of chances, in any line
of endeavor. The grim flashes of
righteous bile at him from Helen low

the show-off requires, and her charac-

declared as outstanding and memora-
BILE as the part of the show-off, a
piece of perfect acting to be long re-

DRAMA" says Leonard, young and
usually inexperienced actresses have
crowded the older and more finished
feminine artists to the wall, merely
because the motion-picture public,
with its high content of young people,
has not been greatly interested in the
problems of more mature years
The result has been q deluge of
juvenile romantic drama. This has
gone so far, however, that even the
youngsters are firing of it bit, while
the oldsterS, who steadily are increas-
ing in numbers as screen patrons are
beginning to demand a new deal.
The youngsters of yesterday are
the oldesters of today and the sheiks
and flappers of 1910 are the fathers
and mothers of 1926. They are still
loyal to the silent drama, however,
and by sheer force Of numbers, they
are beginning to make their more ma
ture influence felt.
II look for a complete change in
dramatic mood very shortly and when
that comes, the old actress, who Is an
artist but physically unable to look

Falls That Rival Errol's.

Roy CUMMINGS. whose falls rival
Leon Errol's, literally fell onto the
stage.
Twelve years ago, n thin, sandy
haired youngster was standing at the
stage door of the old Twins Majestic
Theater, In Detroit, having Just been
fired from his job of messenger for
leading shirt manufacturer. Incl
dentally, he had been fired for riding
his bicycle or the dock into the st.
Clair River. Cummings came up but
the bicycle did not, and when he went
back to work he was fired.
As he stood in the alley, he saw a
large man take a flying dive from the
stage door and land in heap against
the fence. The sight so tickled the
boy that he Immediately gave an &C
curate imitation, doing a swan dive
which landed him beside the PROSTATE
man. A minute later he was seized on
the shoulder by what proved to be the
manager of the burlesque troupe. who
had been engaged In the act of dis
charging his comedian for drunken
ness.

ever you want to-" he asked. Cum

Mordkin's tour in 1926-27 will be the
third he has undertaken, but the first
in over Il years. It was he, together
with Pavlova, who first introduced the
modern Russian art of the dance to
America In January, 1910, when he
and Pavlova appeared at the Metro

the invitation of Mr.. Otto II. Kahn.

be doubted whether any stage favor
tie has enjoyed so many different
points of contact as this remarkably
versatile and interchangeable man.
Investigation is in order as to
whether there are enough good plays
to take care of all the good actors.
1t is a coincidence that Niccodemi

women SO similar in type as Nance

O'Neirs Stronger Than Love is a
better play than Stolen Fruit" Per-
haps the choice by these actresses

nificently to every demand and needs
only better vehicle to assert herself
as one Of the historic figures of the
English-speaking theater.
Perhaps il is the towering demon
stration given by the actress that
makes the play seem inadequate. In
addition 70 Z very searching and
sympathy-com psychology, it
has number of familiar figures and
incidents which should be reliable in
holding the pleased attention Of an
audience, including the handsome
aristocrat who falls in love with a

ardent spinster whose heart palpi-
tates violently at the lightest sus-

of life, the sort Of person whom we
love as we see him on the stage, but

these familiar figures grouped about

many a smile for old times sake, if
the element of terrific tragedy had
not been so dominant in the revela-
ton of a woman searching for the
