TREND IRREGULAR
IN STOCK MARKET
List Sometimes Actively
Sold, and Other Times
Prices Are Supported.
BY STUART p. WEST.
a.oognl DisDaYnl, fo 1,ha Star


NEW YORK, January 25.-There
were times today when the market
was actively sold there were other
times when supporting orders were
thrown into the breach in sufficient
quantities to check the decline and
bring about a partial rally.
But the market was a different mar
ket from what it was two weeks ago.
Then hopes were running high in
brokerage circles that Wall Street
was on the verge of another big
speculation for the rise. Day by day
since then these hopes have become
DINNER. Only one set of stocks has
been going up consistently and that
was some of the merger rails. They
have been going up, of course, not
for general reasons, but for reasons
peculiar to themselves.
The market refused to accept their
movement as at all significant of
General conditions and has refused
10 accept their leadership. Wheeling
and Lake Erie doubled its market
price in the last fortnight
without other non-dividendpaying
rails moving more than point and
a half. The merger argument failed
10 take hOld OF the puDIlc magma
ton the way 1t did in the Autumn of
1925.
Gradually this constant failure of
the rushing up Of individual stocks to
exert any influence upon the general
body of the list began to make. senti-
ment uneasy. This uneasiness showed
in the market yesterday and again
today. Prices had quite a break dur
ing the first hour. with the erratic
Wheeling and Lake Erie moving over
a range of five points.
The market was becoming a poor
one for recent speciality favorites. 1t
was hard for time to sell stocks like
Remington Typewriter, Commercial
Solvents 'B" and Warner Bros Pic
lures.
Still, conditions were such that
stocks could not be left unsupported
entirely. Sustaining orders were
thrown into the breach when the
weakness threatened to spread and
there was a sharp rally toward the
end Of the forenoon. This, being due
largely to short covering, did not carry
far and in the afternoon the market
once more became unsettled.

WHEAT GOES HIGHER

Larger Estimated Import Require

Prices Today.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, January 25.-Enlarged
estimates of European imports re.
quirements led to higher prices early
today for wheat. Argentina shippers
again raised their asking quotations.
Starting at " cent to y upturn, Chi
cago wheat held near to the initial
range. Corn, oats and provisions were
steady, corn opening at Is off to g
gain. and later showing little varia-
ton.
According to a leading authority,
European need of wheat is greater by
100000 bushels than has heretofore
been figured. World requirements
have also been revised upward, al
though to a less extent. The total
amount which Europe must obtain
from sources outside is now placed at
100000, 900 bushels.
Good export business today In
wheat from North America Is in
Dictated. One interest admitted sales
of 10000 bushels of United States
wheat to Europe overnight. and there
were Liverpool advices of active de-
mand for all nearby offerings.

her from actors and actorines all
over the country. Little of it ar
rived and Mrs. Crosby passed out
Of the picture.
Count Perreird conducted what
was doubtlessly the most unique
establishment of this kind in
America. 1t was located at 1904
e st. N. W., and was known as
the Castle The Count loved
his wife and thought each of his
men patrons did likewise. This
resulted in many exciting situa-
tions at the Castle and the Count
became the joke of the profession.
The Castle had bar, but no
bartender. The patron served
himself and deposited the proper
amount in the cash register.
Once each year the Fall of the
Bastiie was celebrated and folks
gathered from all over the coun.
try to join in the festivities.
Thirteenth Street between e and
F Street was one of the beauty
spots Of the city in those days.
There were no automobiles and
great shade trees lined the block
on either side. Theatrical board
ing housese were in the majority
here and the curb beneath the
trees became a sort of a social
center for all the theatrical people
in town. Two summer stock
companies were playing Washing
ton and when the curtains came
down, the boys and girls would
gather beneath the trees to chat
Of past successes and dreams fu-
ture victories.

WARDMAN PARK
PLAYHOUSE
REOPENS

The beautiful Wardman Park
Theater. newly redecorated, and
fitted up with a scrumptious
lounge. stage setting. ETC., was
reopened to the public last night
by the Motion Picture Guild. A
large audience attended, speeches
were delivered, and one of the
Guilds superior programs was
shown.
The feature is Secrets of. the
Soul" the psychoanalytical play
based on material of DR.. Sigmund
Freud. Some people may have
mistaken 1t for a lecture, but, as
1t was hailed in New York, it Is a
drama. And a drama revealing the
infinite possibilities of the cinema
as an artistic medium.
For in this, as in other U. r. A.
productions the camera plays an
important part. So-called trick
photography, ETC., are used to adj
vantage to express the innermost
reactions and dreams of a human
being. The story concerns a man
cured of certain obsessions by a
psychoanalyist, and to the initiate,
understanding the phallic and
other symbols employed to put
across delicate discussion, is an en-
thralling drama.
Several splendid short subjects
are also shown, and a trio of true
artists interprets the pictures. On
the whole, a fine playhouse,
worthy of its sister on Ninth
Street.

These ingenious mechanical de-

So huge is the revenue derived
from these get-rich-quick con-
trivances that their owners are
reluctant to part with them. AS
much as $3.50 a week on each
machine can be made; the agent
who rents them makes a weekly
commission Of $125 on each device.
In order to purchase seven of

had to gain the confidence of their

WITHERS' OP'RY
SPELLS ROARS
GALORE

The chief blessing of vaude-
vile to humanity is to make it
laugh. And that is where "Withers'
Op'ry," headlining at the Earle
Theater this week, shines. For
within that conglomeration of con-
traptions arranged by the genius
of Mr.. Withers there are more
laughs to the square inch than in
any other similar aggregation of
instruments in the world. "Withers'
Op'ry" is WOW and he who misses
it misses a treat indeed.
Stepping out well up to the top
Of the weeks bill is Shirley Dahl,
danseuse, supported by fast step
ping and clever couple, Sherry
and Mattison, and another of
the feminine persuasion. An
ders Sisters, urged on by Ben
Goldie's Symphonic Syncopaters.
Miss Dahl's company is featured
in "a Vaudeville Carnival of 1927"
a medley of songs, dances and inn
presentations.
An unusual and ghostly number
on this weeks program is "Mirth
and Mystery" offered by Lloyd
Nevada and Company. Here one
sees spooks that haunt the dark,
hidden recesses Of the out-of-the-
way corners of woods and bye
ways fit before the eye, touch
the world and vanish into space
with incredible magic.
Lady Oden-Pearse renders upon
her "Strad," a gift from the Shah
of Persia, a selected number of
pieces from her repertoire. Her
playing meets an enthusiastic re-
ception.
The photoplay for the week Is
Zip Toes" musical comedy of
Broadway fame, featuring Dorothy
Gish. The story is one Of interest,
charm and cleverness.
The personality Of the weeks
bill closes with a round of slap
stick comedy by two clowning
nuts impersonated by Ed Warren
and Charles O'Brien. For comedy
on the screen there Is to be seen
a new Van Bibber film, Gar Shy"
The overture for the week, Floyd
C. Wheeler, conductor, is "Salut
