NATIONAI-"Butter and Egg Man."

George Kaufman'S humorous dltty
on the show game from behind the
scenes will be next weeks offering at
the National Theater. THE Butter
and Egg Man" is its name, and WASH
ingtonians will remember it from two
seasons ago, when young Gregory
Kelly played the title role.
The term butter and egg man IS
said to be synonymous with any indl'
vidual who has more money than
sense. The gold.digging fiappers are
said to have invented the term. kauf-
man dramatized the idea, amplifying
it with an accurate and funny slant
as to what goes on inside the show
business.
A previously poetic youngster comes
from a hamlet in the Middle West TO
conquer Broadway. Into the clutches
of a pair of itinerant producers ne
falls. and he sinks his bankroll on
their faulty judgment as to the merits
of a new show they intend producing.
Up to the end Of the second act 1t
looks as if the kid from Chillicothe Is
going right back to that town with
nothing more than a petition Tor
bankruptcy in his pocket. A certain
thing happens, however. which turns
failure into success, and climax Is
provided that has bonth comedy and
dramatic thrill.

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-The selling
movement which had to some extent
subsidized in the last hour Thursday
browke out anew in the early trad
ing today on the stock market.
Traders had expected reduction
in brokerage loans and when an in
crease of $39,000,000 was reported
after the close it brought in heavy
selling orders over night. Rails met
heaviest pressure several making
wide breaks, industrials also were
lower and the specialties dropped
with the rest OF the list.
Rail Issues
Selling of rail issues followed dis
appointing earnings statements for
September now appearing. Western
Maryland dipped more than point,
as did New York Central, Southern
Railway, Erie and Missouri Pacific.
New Haven, however, held steady,
while Missouri, Kansas and Texas
were fractionally higher.
Nash continued under pressure in
the motor division, following the
downward course of General Mo-
tors which broke more than point.
United States Steel opened firm,
but quickly sold down with the rest
of the market.
Further heavy selling took place
in early dealings due to the rise in
brokerage loans to new record lev
els in the week ended Oct. 10. This
increase aroused considerable dis
appointment in speculative quarters,
where decrease had been looked
for.
In addition to selling actuated by
this factor the market was forced
to absorb heavy selling necessitated
by the sweeping declines in Thurs
days session. New lows on the re-
action we're reached by speculative
leaders.
OversoId at Noon
Indications of a temporarily over
sold condition in the general list
became more pronounced toward
noon. With rallying tendencies in
industrial leaders gradually picking
Up momentum, the bear crowd
grew increasingly nervous and buy
ing operations went ahead in pivotal
issues.
Steel common rallied two points
to 142, and General Motors 2 points
