The legitimate theater season went away to a good start at Par sons. Hartford. last night with the presentation of Vincent Youmans' Hit the Deck" which quickly de- veloped into full fledged smash when it opened in New York city last season. The attendance was good. considering the holiday. and everyone seemed to have a good time.
 Hit the Deck" is just for fun. It is founded on Hubert Osburne's "shore Leave" being presented in two acts with three scenes in each. The locale is in Newport. R. l.. and seaport town in China. quick transformation being carried out by the producers and scene shifters.
 "1ooloo," an orphan. conducts a coffee shop at Newport which is and the chow she serves. She falls patronized by the gobs who like her in love with one "Bilge," who has female visiting list which includes nearly every seaport at which he has ever touched. He has ambitions has "Bilge." his chief aim being to get his masters papers and com mand freighter. When he hears that 'Looloo" has money-she sold precious heirloom to get the cash and buy a freighter for the man she loves-he decides to have noth- ing to do with her. No rich girls for him. no sir. Of course, in the end they-but the show can be better appreciated than the story can be told.
 Queenie Smith appears in the principal female role with William McGurn playing opposite. Miss Smith has just enough plaintiveness in her voice and enough spirit in her acting to be at home in the character. Mr. McGurn acts just like fellow whose nickname would be 'Bilge" and who would be found in Uncle Sam's sea forces. Josephine Sabel undertakes the task lip living up to the standard set by Stella Mayhew in the original New York company as the colored cook and protectress of the coffee house owner. Miss Sabel is one of the hits of the show and her acting was appreciated. James Dempsey was l alert to all the opportunities offered by his role as gob. Charles Fow- Ter. Charles Boyle and John Stanley deserve mention. Of the young wo- men in the cast Polly Mara nd Helen laNonne were spotted prom | inently.

He is interesting, curi- ously vital, dramatic and alive.

In the Stock Market
by Thomson g. McKinnon,

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-We sup
pose a good deal was said and more
will be said this morning on the
subject of the brokers loans as re-
ported by the New York Stock Elk
change Tuesday evening. Unfor-
tunately, many who discuss it, and
some who write about it. are either
not familiar with the subject or
deliberately ignore some important
facts. Some Of the reports on brok-
erS' loans are complete, and to make
matters worse, you can't get a COM
plete story even if you put the Fed
eral Reserve report and the stock
exchange report together. Tuesday
the stock exchange report shows a
very large increase for the month
of August. Perhaps If the report
was complete it would show that.
and possibly it would show no
change from the preceding month,
nobody knows There is always
trouble in trying to analyze incom-
plete data. SO I conclude If you
were bullish before the report, you
don't have to get bearish because
of 1t. On the other hand if you
have some good profits take some of
1t because it would have been Just
as advisable even if the report had
shown a decrease,

HEAVY WHEAT
CROPS FORCE
PRICES DOWN
Optimistic Harvest Reports
Cause Downturn; Corn
Loses Ground.
By United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-Cptimistic
harvest reports from Canada sent
wheat prices slightly lower. on the
Board of Trade today. Corn con-
tinued to decline. Oats were little
changed.
Wheat opened u to CSC lower.
Corn was down Is to &c and oats
were unchanged to &c off. Pro-
visions we're slightly higher.
Wheat sentiment is mixed at
present, but traders seem inclined
to accept small profits or losses
rather than take prolonged stand.
Increased hedging pressure from the
Northwest and the enormous pro-
spective world supply of wheat are
bearish factors. Splendid harvest
weather in Canada also has been a
depressing influence.
Liquidation in September corn
Tuesday caused weakness that ex-
tended to all deliveries. Reports on
/ the supplies Of old corn in the coun-
try disagree. Bumper crop pros
poets have put the deferred months
under pressure, but traders have
been predicting that large foreign
purchases will worry December
shorts.
Receipts of oats have been only
moderate, but lack of demand has
weakened the cash situation.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5-A surpris-
ing increase of $214,O89 1876 in brok-
erage loans as reported by the New
York Stock Exchange as of Aug. 81,
compared with July 81, caused SELL
ing in many issues on the exchange
in early dealings today. The loan
figure totaled $5,051 ,437 ,4o5, the Sec
ond largest on record. The Federal
Reserve compilation for the period
Aug. /, to Aug. 20, showed de-
crease of $24, 348,000 and this dis
crepancy, therefore, caused consid-
cradle nervousness at the outset.
Nevertheless, prices met support
on the decline and in the first
fifteen minutes a rally was in
progress in several sections. Theater
issues stood out prominently. War
ner Brothers issues which scared
20 points Tuesday, was slightly low
er, but Fox Film A scared to a new
high at 1904 up q, and Keith
Albee-O rpheum rose more than a
point. Stanley company and Loew's
also moved ahead.
Warner Brothers A, after the early
dip, shot up to 11712, new high
record and a gain of 21A points
from the previous close.
United States Steel sold down to
1929, off Is, but quickly recovered
to 1881, while General Motors
rallied nearly point to its previous
close of 203A. Chrysler eased near
ly point, while Studebaker. Hupp.
REQ, Mack and Hudson were active
at steady prices.
Railroad issues were again promi-
nent on the upside. Delaware e.

and New York Central rs to TITS
Kansas City Southern, Lehigh VAL
ley and Atchison we're up fraction
ally.
Utilities continued strong under
