Ben Hur' Great
Romance, Comes
To Queen Sunday

The magnificent plot. fine charac-
terization and beautiful love story
are among the outstanding reasons
Why "Ben-Hur" has gripped the
imagination Of America for fifty
years. In the motion picture coming
to the Queen theater today the
splendid portrays Of Ben-Hur by Ra-
mon Novarro. Esther by May Me-
Avoy. Mother of Hur by Claire Nc
Dowell. and Tirzah BY Kathleen Key,
add to the effect and enhance the
romance. These plays live the ro-
mantle side of the story. which is
Just as ~engrossing as the sea battle
or even the chariot race.
Miss McAvoy. who previously was
best remembered by her role Of
Grizel in Sentimental Tommy" is
a charming Esther. daughter of the
Merchant Of Antioch, who secretly
has saved the Hur fortune for the
young heir. and Ramon Novarro in
the Ben-Hur role Is handsome. val
liant. marked BY sincerity, depth
and range of feeling.
Perhaps the deepest note Is
struck after Ben-Hur and Esther set
out 20 find his lost kin. who have
been immured in a forgotten Roman
dungeon and unknown to him) fl
nallv released as outcasts. Mother
and Tirzah find the Youthful Ben

Film Stowe Novel
At Arcadia; Stage
Player Takes Lead

Seventy-five years ago "Uncle
Toms Cabin" first saw the li~hr OF
day between the covers OF Harriet
Beecher Stoves sensational work. A
year or two later George Howard,
father Of Cordelia Howard. celebrat-
ed child actress of the time. con-
verted the novel into a play. the
grandfather Of all the thousands OF
versions that have appeared since.
Having but limited stage space and
desiring the utmost in audience re-

visual standpoint without wasting
too many lines in EXPLANATION that

USAGE.
Ever after. all Uncle Toms have
been PLAYED that way. However. sad
though IL may upset a tradition OF
nor than seventy years standing.
this conception Of Uncle Tom Is err
roneous and far from the original
description by Mrs. Stowe Of the cell
ebrated character.
Uncle Tom was about 45 years old.
He was tall and broad-chested as q
slave overseer should BE-. The price
he brought at auction was $500. a
large sum for a slave. Naturally,
an old, useless man would bring no
where near that figure.

CONVERTIBLE BOND
ISSUES SHOW DROP
Market Affected by Stock
Price Slump and Higher
Money Rate.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.
cial DISPATCH to The Star,

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December IA de-
moralized stock market will always have
a certain effect on even high-grade
bonds. This may happen when money
conditions are favorable to investment
because of liquidation of bonds to pro-
tect speculative accounts.
Today'S bonds were weak not only be-
cause stocks have been declining, but
through the effect on them OF still
higher rates for money This combina-
ton is a difficult once for the market to
resist. Prices did not, however, at any
time show such weakness. For the best
quality rails and public utilities they
we're Clf less than half point. A few
of the secondary grades declineed hall
to point.
Those issues that make up the bond
market average show decline since
the 1st Of March of less than point,
which is quite remarkable in view OF
the adverse influences at work.
Naturally the convertible bonds were
more susceptible to the speculative
unsettlement. With Andes Copper
stock off 18 points from its recent
high. the 7 per cent convertible bonds
have had to make a readjuStment to
this in decline of over so points. AT
one time today they were down points
from yesterdays closing. Public Serv-
ice of N j. 4l2s were of points and
Barnsdall 6S about the same.
Some of the industrial mortgages
showing the effect of market pressure
were Dodge 6s. which sold at the low
,est since September; U. S. Rubber 5s,
Hudson, Coal 5s off a point, Consolida-
ton Coal SIS near the low of the year,
International Telephone 4l2s point
lower and ST. Paul General SIS, Chica-
go a. Eastern Illinois SIS, Denver & Rio
Grande SIS, Chicago Great Western As
and Missouri Pacific As.
The decision of the Treasury to use
a Al per cent note for its December
financing occaSioned some surprise in
view of the stringency in the money
market Doubt was expressed in invest
ment quarters whether the issue would
meet with the success accorded the
October 434 per cent notes. 1t is evi-
IDENTITY the belief of the Treasury off,
cials that this weeks break In stocks
will relieve the money situation through
the release of a considerable volume of
credit now tied up in speculation.
