out even to architectural details, and
it will afford one no end OF keen
amusement to see square. solid, severe
lines and the quixotism OF strange
lighting arrangements.
Joan alone does not make the picture,
although she emerges huge surprise.
Her support, Dorothy Sebastian, Anita
page. Edward Nugent, Nils ASther and
John Mack Brown, deserves honorable
mention. They go in for the loftiest
kind of interpretative acting and char
acter delineation. There Is only one
common thing about the piece, and that
is the title; it has been overworked and
is only a trite cognomen for produc-
ton that surely cutclasses all others
of similar species.
Strictly speaking. this is not a
"talkie," although advertisements might
lead one to believe so. Only the mu-
steal setting, hoof beats and auto honks
are preserved by sound. The dialogue
is in the good old fashion, on the
screen. A footnote here-the title
writer is as clever as the director. He
cffervesces with a gargantuan humor.
The theme of the story cannot pre-
tend to be original. Shakespeare wrote
dramas grounded on similar plots. But
no one can gainsay that the piece has
not been jazzed up to the tempo of
the times

This means, or appears to mean,
that before long we will be buying
the bulk of our oil from foreign
lands and that we may be at their

world supply is exhausted.
Two thirds of our oil reserves,
according to the Federal Oil Board,

are 128,000,000 barrels in 1922, $780,
100000 in 1926, and 300,0O00O0 in
1927.

production, many experts believe the
price of oil and gasoline will soon
be more than doubled.
This not only will affect the own
ers of 25,OOO,OOO automobiles in the
United States, but it will mean
much added expense to nearly every
industry-especially to users of oil
furnaces.
Wells Short Lived
AS demonstrating the nearness to
conditions of domestic shortage, it
was estimated that as much as
100,000,000 barrels would be taken
from stores above ground to meet
the demand in 1927. Overproduc-
ton avoided that necessity.
Oil wells, at best, produce at max
imum capacity for no more than
three years. There are wells III
Pennsylvania, for instance, which
once produced 500 or 600 barrels a
day, compared with perhaps a daily
barrel now.
The whole subject is admittedly
so conjectural that no one can say
when new wells will stop coming in.
If we knew. something probably
would be done about it, but today
the authorities on the subject adj
vance opinions ranging all the way
from the belief that we will have
definite oil famine in two or
three years to the theory that the
supply will last forever.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-Some
Gay we will have an oil shortage
in this country and the price of
gasoline may rise so high that few
Of us will be able to keep our au-
tomobileS.
When that period of oil and gaso-
line famine will begin-whether in
few years or tWenty-nobody
knows. But it will begin as soon
as our consumption begins to out
grow the supply and it will be has
tened as the potential new oil fields
of this country begin to give out.
More than year ago the Presi-
dents Federal Oil Conservation
Board estimated that the Nations
available known oil reserves
amounted to about 4,5O0000,00O
barrels, a theoretical six-year sup
pig.
Condition Will Not Last
IA 1927 we took 9OO,OOO,OO0 bar
rels from the ground at the ap-
proxHnate rate of 100000 barrels
9, day. There was a large overpro-
duNAion as result of discovery of
the great Seminole fields in Okla
home, and we continued to export
more oil than we imported.
But this condition is not likely to
last long, for there have been recent
years when consumption exceeded
the output.
Toward the end Of the year the
Seminole production dropped from
100000 to 100000 barrels a day.
While we are producing and SELL
ing our oil almost as fast as we can
get it out of the ground, other ma
tions are boarding theirs.
Reserve High in Billions

able is that foreign oil reserves
amount to more than forty billion

or refused to work. Ten minutes OF
