NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Demand
for Steel stocks featured the stock
market as the new week got under
way and the whole list responded
to the higher prices in this section.
Bethlehem Steel scared 31s to
CTS on large transactions, while
Vanadium Steel set a new mark at
941a, up 715 from the last price
on Saturday. United States Steel
common moved up rs at 1449s.
Mining shares we're also il urgent
demand in several instances. Ne

features in this group, the first ris-
ing to a new high for the year at

Industrials Up
Radio and Montgomery Ward

ton. -Roebuck also gained.
Motor shares strengthened under
the lead of General Motors, which
moved up e to 1851. Studebaker
equalled it's record at 631a, up IL.
Hudson and Hupp we're f1rmer.
Public utilities continued to adj
vance under the lead of Montana
Power and Consolidated Gas; oils
held about steady; rails were barely
steady and quiet.
Describing the market, the Wall
Street Journals financial review
today said:
Action of the market in the
closing hours Saturday helped to
create a wave of optimistic senti-
ment which carried over into the
new week. What little news there
was over the week end was of a
constructive character. The re-
suit was a strong opening this
morning.
Coppers Active
Copper shares showed increased
activity and advanced consistently
on the superstition that domestic
consumers must buy copper in con-
siderable volume in the next week
or ten days. This would also bring
in some foreign buying, with an
increase in the price.
Nevada was particularly active.
The explanation Of this seems to be
that interests which were active
some time ago in Greene-Cananea,
Calumet and Arizona took a po-
Sition in Nevada between 18 and 90

Doubled Up and Split Even.

ONE Of the most picturesque figures
in motion pictures today is Harry
Pollard, director of Uncle Toms
Cabin" the mammoth Universal pro-
duction now at the Metropolitan Thea
ter.
Twenty years ago Pollard was a
struggling actor whose experiences
would fill volumes. Many of these are
laughable in retrospect, but were deadly
serious then.
ut was in Missouri during the days
of veritable epidemic of Tom shows -
saws Pollard. MY troupe was booked
into small town for a one-night stand.
Business had been bad, and the whole
company looked forward to this engage
ment, as the town was usually a most
receptive one. Here was one place
where the players hoped to get out of
the red
I'VE disembarked from the rickety
train and Immediately our Jaws fell in
disappointment and chagrin. The whole
neighborhood was literally covered with
billboard advertising of a rival Uncle
Tom to play the same night.
"A hurried consultation was held.
The managers of the two companies
conferred and soon we were smiling.
That night the town was RECALLED with
one OF the most astonishing perform
anceS Of Uncle Toms Cabin ever
given. There were two Evas, two
Topsys, twin Elias crossed the ice, and
duplex whipping was administered by
pair of burly Simon Legrees to a
couple of pitiful Uncle Toms, one of
which was I.

Russian Count in Title Role.

COUNT KONSTANTIN EGGERT,
scion of one of the oldest Russian
noble families, who plays the leading
role in THE Marriage of the Bear"
realized his ambition to become an actor
after the revolution of 1917 had de-
stroyed the stringent rules and GUS
toms of the former imperial regime. a
Count Eggert appears as Count Kaz-
mir Shemet, a legendary figure of
Lithuania, whose adventures have been
handed down among the peasants for
centuries. Shemet, whose mother was
frightened by bear shortly before his
birth, developed the characteristics of
the animal and spread ruin and terror
among the people in the territory near
his castle.
Count Eggert not only acts the title
role, but also directs the picture. His
rise in his chosen profession has, there
fore, been quite rapid, because up until
1920 he had no theatrical or screen ex-
perience. Joining the famous Moscow
art Theater shortly after the World
war, Count Eggert gradually won a DO
S1tion OF prominence on the Russian
stage, and then turned his attention to
the films when the Sovkino company
asked him to bring to the screen the old
folk tale upon which 1.-THE Marriage of
the Bear" Is based.

Last February it was decided to OBJ

while spotlight played upon bust of
Lincoln. He performed the service so
well that he was given contract as

first of the kind in the world, it is
claimed.

"Outcast" is a complete change from

comedy was, it did not offer the high
spots for emotional acting that falls
to Miss Griffith in "Outcast," where
the central figure is a girl of the San

highly dramatic vehicle. "Outcast" is
also a distinct contrast to Miss Grit
