The outstanding achievement of

traffic regulation WAS the inaugura
tion of the night letter service in
1910. From the standpoint of the
j rraph companies. the direct eff
feet of this innovation was to in
crease the volume OF messages by
more than 10 per cent. This utili-
.zation was made OF the idle facili-
ties of an existing system and the
public was given Il valuable service
at materially reduced rates.
This service. which was adapt cd
to many classes of semi-urgent busi-
ness communications hitherto sent
BY mail. was somewhat limited in
its application by restriction against

NEW YORK, Jan. < "A young
woman from the Chicago newspaper
field, Maurine Watkins by name, has
written a satire about yellow jour
nalism, tabloid picture journalism,
the sob sister circle, and the pro-
cedure in criminal cases in that
city, and she has called it Chicago"
1t was produced in New York last
week with an accompaniment of
jazz, satire, burlesque and what not,
and while it may be caViare to the
general, it was excellent for the ex.
perienced playgoer who followed the
lines of the play and its accompany
ing scenes. from the time Of the muir.
der of a lover by a woman who is
cheating on her husband, through
her entire incarceration in Jail and
her trial and acquittal.
This does not sound like a story
susceptible of satire, but to be made

For time the audience appeared
to be somewhat dubious about what
it all meant, but when they enjoyed

CHICAGO, Jan. 31.-With Liver
pool about as due and Buenos Aires
slightly lower than expected, wheat
opened unchanged to 1s higher than
the previous close on the Chicago
Board of Trade today. Sentiment
in the trade is mixed with indica-
tions that leadership is needed and
price fluctuations are expected to be
narrow unless some unforeseen de-
velopment brings aggressive opera
tons on one side or the other.
Corn opened unchanged to Is

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-The bet
ter tone which pervaded the stock
market on Saturday was in order
again today, with most issues frac-
tionally higher in early dealings.
Several substantial advances &C.
Cured in representative issues at
the opening and prices moved still
higher later.
Wall Street was not concerned
about deficit of $15,947,25O shown
in Saturdays clearing house state
ment, looking upon it as a bookkeep-
ing proposition, which could be
speedily corrected by having recourse
TO the enormous credit supply of
Gsderal reserve. Consequently, the
&ek end bank showing did not
check the rally which developed in
Saturdays trading and further sub
stantial recoveries took place in
carly uSillllSo'
Stocks continued to give evidence
Of an oversold condition in the gen.
eral list. 1t was evident that shorts
were becoming nervous over The eX-
tent-of the recovery and further COW
ering resulted in additional gains in
the speculative leaders. A better
feeling regarding the Mexican situa-
ton due to the reinstatement of a
number of drilling permits brought
good comebacks in stocks which had
been depressed by this trouble. Amer
lean Smelling led the rally in this
GLASS, running up 31a points to
h40%.
Chicago Pneumatic Tool was the
outstanding feature Of the industrial
specialties, advancing points to 1872
in response to favorable 1926 earn
ings. Maytag was another strong
speciality, moving up to the best
levels of the year at 27H, a gain of
70 points from the previous close.
Buying was based on the expectation
of an extra dividend of rs cents, in
addition to the regular quarterly div
idend of so cents at the Feb. II meet
ing.

Deeds of kindness are strewn all
about by him, and whenever a dis
aster is about to occur he is there to
Pollyonaise it into gaiety. There was
very little that was new in the play,
and even that which was not was
not particularly interesting. How
ever, the blame, such as it is, should
be charged to the author rather than
the actors and those who put them
through their PAGES in rehearsal.
Faust" Again
Faust" a dramatic version of the
Goethe poem, had things done to it
by Edythe Totten. 1t may be re-
called by those who are familiar with
the play as done so many years by
the late Lewis Morrison, and more
recently John Griffith and John KEEL
lerd, that towards the end of the
play Mephisto descends to his do
main in the nethermost regions. The
trouble with the present version is
that Mephisto waited until the third
act to do this when it should have
been done in the first and he should
have taken the play along with him.
Earl Carroll gave another version
of his Vanities show. Each succeed
ing version of the Vanities is so alike

all be sets of twins.

by Frank Martins, stopped Growing

porter with more skill than is usuel

authoress knew her onions, as Broad
way would put it.
Gaul in Cast
Seven years ago a performance of
"The Brothers Karamazov' was
acted in French in New York. Last
year it was again acted, this time
in the native Russian. by the Mos
COW group. Last week the Theatre
Guild gave a graphic performance
of it in English.
The story, as may be inferred,
was written unanimously by
Dostoevsky, the great Russian
novelist, and the adaptation for
stage uses, especially in the Eng
coincidence, an English adaptation
of the French adaptation of the
original Russian, if you follow me.
The story of this family of father,
three legitimate and one illegitimate
son, and those brought into con.
tact with them, is really
dramatization of a condition of
mind.
It's great interest lies in the
superb manner in which this story,
one of the greatest in Russian
literature, has been staged under
the direction Of Jacques Copean,
who was the French director, who
produced it first in this country, and
who made the first adaptation, and
the. remarkably fine acting Of play
ers' of the calibre of George Gaul,
Alfred Lunt, Morris Carnovsky, Ed
ward Robinson, Lynn Fontaine and
Claire Eames.
1t is a production worthy Of the
best that has heretofore been done
by the Theatre Guild, and most of
New York's discriminating play
goers will see it before it's end.
The selection of names for plays.
particularly those destined for
Broadway, is a science in itself
This fact was demonstrated last
week when a play called Junk"
arrived in town. Junk" is not note
worthy except for the good inten-
tions, and the futile efforts of pro-
ducer and players to make it ac.
ceptable.
Hardly a newspaper review failed
to suggest that the title of the play
was appropriate and carried its own
story.
AS a matter of fact Junk" has
some interesting moments, or rather
some of the players in Junk"
forced attention from the audience
by their excellent acting.
Sydney Greenstreet, Marguerite
Moshier and Calvin Thomas had the
hardest tasks. With the material
in hand they were commercially
adept.
The author is Edwin B. Self, and
the story concerns a rotund, good
