THEATERS

Ny Official Wife, the melo-
dramatic picture, which comes to
the Valley theater tomorrow for Il
run of two days, is the first Amcri-
can production to be made by Paul
Stein, the AUSTRIAN director. who was
imported to this country by Warner
Bros. and WHO has been hailed as a
second Lubitsch.
The story he has handled deals
with Petroefad and Vienna before
! the war. Helene, Countess Or.
loft, is affianced to Ivan, Rus
sian nobleman, and they have an
engagement to go to Il masquerade
ball together. Ivan, however, has
mixed his dates, and he finds it more
important to his happiness to keep
an engagement for that evening
with notorious dcmi-mondainc. AS
II result, Helene, who is wearing a
peasant costume. decides to go to
he ball alone.
Her peasant disguise and her dis
tinguisheI beauty take the eye of
six registering young mobiles, who
force her to accompany them to Il
wayside inn. There, in Il riotous
orgy, they east lots for her, and
she is won by grand dukes son,
named Alexander.
She escapes at dawn and at home
coufcsscs her humiliation to her
father and Ivan. They are furious
and Ivan breaks his engagement
Helene swcars revenge upon her be
traycr and the sensational story
that develops is full of incident
that ranges from the road to Siberia
to the gay cafes of Vienna, ana
! back through the turmoil of post
war Russia.
Irene Rich, who embarked upon IL
career of playing gay Continental
ladies when she scored her big sue
cess as the erring mother in "Lady
Windermcrc Fam has vividly
picturesque role as Helene, and she
acts it up to the hilt.
y laugh in every foot-With n
thrill between each laugh. Such is
William X. Howard S production Of
" Bachelor Bridcs,' Rod La Roe
que S new starring picture which will
be displayed at Palace thcatcr to-
morrow. The film is delightful
comedy mystery piece, which mas
tcrfully combines genuine laughs
with hair raising situations galore.
The picture presents LII Rocquc
as Il monocled English peer, who
seeks the hand of a wealthy Amcri-
can hcircss. The father Of the girl,
Il Chicago butter and egg man, is
seen in Il hurried flight to Scotland
in vain attempt to block the mar
riage, and what happens at Duncrag-
gan Towers the stormy night of his
his arrival furnishes first laughs -

PRODUCERS HAVE DOUBTS.

SALT LAKE CITY, october 80 P).-
Commenting on a proposal Of Cuban
planters for a world conference or
sugar producers to prevent over.
production, 8. H. Love, president or
the United States Beet Producers
Association, said here last night he
would have to be convinced OF the
honesty of purpose in calling such a
meeting before falling in with the
plan.
The proposed curtailment of the
coming Cuban sugar crop, Mr.. Love
believed, would have a stabilizing er-
feet upon the home product market.
but to what extent he was unable to
say.
Sugar producers in this section say
the Cuban market is unstable due to
over-production. and this over-produc-
ton is about the amount of the world
surplus.
Sugar producers here doubt If it
would be possible to secure an agree
ment among continental producers in
the United States to curtail the crop
in this country. The United Stares
produces less than half of the sugar
consumed, and must look to Hawaii
and Cuba for the remainder of her
supply. Curtailment Of the continental
crop would mean going into the out
side markets for q larger quantity,
and would be fatal to the continental
industry, IL was declared.

ERIE ISSUES DROP
IN BOND MARKET
Big Turnover in Foreign List,
With Smaller Advances,
Is Noted Today.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, October 3O-Features
of the Saturday short session in bonds
included sharp break in Erie issues.
renewed buying Of Denver and Rio
Grande 5s, advances in some of the
high-grade investment loans and
further large turnover in the foreign
group, but with the gains much small
er than on the two preceding days.
Selling of the Erie obligations was
based on the published report that the
Nickel Plate merger would be effected
without the Erie. The convertible d
As, which always move with the stock,
opened down a point and half. The
A and B IS, on which the conversion
privilege has expired, and which sell
on q yield basis alone, broke even
more severely. The B As dropped 2
points, and the AS more than 2
points. Erie general 4s at one time
were down over a point, but they
seemed to be better supported. There
were rallies in all these issues later in
the day.
Denver and Rio Grande SIS were
the leaders in their group on the buy
ing side. Selling above 70, they made
a new high on the movement.
Demand for high-grade bonds was
very selective. Illinois Central joint
SIS, Wabash 51as and Baltimore and
Ohio first As were in the largest rela.
tive demand.
In foreign bonds the gains of the
week were well retained. Buying to-
day centered upon the Italian Is,
which sold above SO for the first time
in weeks and more than a point and
a half UP on the week.
French 7hs and 8s were fraction
ally higher, and SO at times were the
two maturities of Belgian Is, but ac-
tivity in these fell off sharply from
recent sessions. Hungarian municipal
713s sold above 81. Influenced by the
favorable reception given to the new
Hungarian Is offered Friday.
Scattered gains appeared in the do.
mestic utility and Industrial list.
Among them were Hudson and Man.
haitian refunding 5s. Interboro bonds.
Empire Gas and Fuel 6ks, Anglo
Chilean Nitrate Is and City Service

LEADERS co LOWER
IN STOCK MARKET
Changes Are Mixed in Brief
Session, With Bear Side
Getting Edge"
BY STUART p. WEST.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, October 30.-Price
changes in the two-hour stock market
today were much mixed, but the ma
iOrity of the recognized leaders were
lower. There was nothing in the week
erd mercantile reviews that was par
ticularly inspiring. and the latest fig
ures on bank ClearingS showed a drop
as compared with the week last year
of % per cent.
Wall Street saw in this confirmation
Of what 1t had reason to believe for
sCme time past. that the business
movement throughout the country
vas slowing up, although not as yet
= the extent which would warrant
any uneasiness. 1t is a factor, how
ever, in the market, not inducing
liquidation, but having a SOLDERING ef-
feet on the buying side.
Much attention was given to the
story that the Nickel Plate merger
would be put through on terms salts
factory to the dissenting minority
holders of Chesapeake and Ohio, but
leaving out the Erie. Chesapeake
and Ohio opened up over 2 points,
while Erie first preferred and Erie
common at one stage were off over
a point. Nickel Plate was higher.
Other rails We're variable. Atchison
rose a point. then fell back. RealiZ-
ing sales were felt in Missouri Pa
Cifc and Southern Pacific and Union
Pacific was lower. Some further
buying occurred in Rock Island in ex-
pectation that the stock will be
placed on the dividend list early next
year.
The oil group held up better than
most of the others, for the reason
that the present level for many of
these stocks does not offer any chance
for profit to those who have been hold
ing on.
The steel group was mostly lower
The United States Steel common was
freely supplied on the way down and
bethlehem Steel was hanging around
its recent low. The Street considers
that the splendid earnings statement
of United States Steel for the Sep
tember quarter belongs to past his
tory, and that the thing to figure
upon is the earnings for the fourth
quarter, as they may be affected by
q falling-off in the demand from auto.
mobile makers and from the building
trades.
