The common industrial stocks turnover
fell last week to an average daily value
OF $207 900 from $341 ,0O0, 900 for the
previous week as trading on the New
York Exchange showed more than sea-
sonal disinterest.
Decreased vigor was manifested in all
classes of stocks. Motors, oils and cop
pers led the trading slump but general
d1sintereSt was evidenced by the pub
lie toward the rest of the market, as
well.
Average daily tradings in motors fell
to SAL 100000 from $95,500,000 mainly
because of fewer Packard, Chrysler and
General Motors shares changing hands.
Oils dropped to 4,100,000 from SPA
100000 through diminished activity in
MeXican Seaboard, Sinclair Consolidated
and Atlantic Refining, while the coppers
daily turnovers dropped to $32, 100 900
from SAL 100000 via relative inactivity
in Anaconda, Kennecott and Cerro de
Pasco. Lessened trading was evidenced
by United States Steel, Bethlehem Steel,
kroger, Sears Roebuck, Montgomery
Ward and many other feature issues
Public utilities activity fell to an
average OF $13,200,000 a day from $19,-
100000, with rails slipping to $12, 200, 900
from $21 100000, ana preferred stocks
averaging $5,300,000 a day as against
$7,900,000 last week.
ALI stocks, common industrials and the
rest, underwent 80 per cent drop to
$238, 100000 from 90,0O0,00O per day.

sTRAND-"DimpIed Darlings."

1t is a we'll known fact that each sue

the one which preceded it, more orig

comedians" and all that sort of thing
for what is known as the highbrow

skilled in the art of gentler criticism.
Be that as it may. "Dimpled Darlings,"

patrons, if not better and more original
and greater than its predecessors, has
intrinsic merits of its own that enter
tanned well satisfied capacity audiences

George Leon, the eccentric comedian
of "Dimpled Darlings," has way of

many amusing things that make for

Christmas fantasy, presented by the
Savoy Musical Comedy Co., at the
Belasco Theater this week.
In the show many of the characters
and verses of fairyland are cleverly
introduced along with entertaining
parodies on nursery rhymes bringing in
typical references to Herbert Hoover,
Lindbergh and other leaders of the day.
The story, which could hardly be said
to be real plot, is introduced with a
clever little prologue which takes the
audience into fairyland and puts 1t in
character" to fully enjoy the play. The
songs and dances together with the gen.
eral theme are pleasing and the rather
small, but enthusiastic audience, with a
number of children in it, showed its
approval by frequent applause. And,
but for the night being so close to
Christmas the attendance would no
doubt have been larger.

NEW YORK, December 24-Prices
on the Stock Exchange opened last week
slightly below sthe closing point of the
previous week and declined slowly all
Monday. This was the third time that
stocks had tried to break heavy through
lows established on the first decline, but
again there was no evidence of liquida-
ton when prices were around the lows.
Trading was the lightest since Midsum-
mer. Call money renewed at per cent
and dropped to 6 per cent later in the
day. 1t was widely believed in Wall
Street that the market would do moth
ing until after the first of the year, at
which time the long expected seasonal
furry in money rates would be over.
Early Tuesday morning stocks began
to rise Call money renewed at per

spite of the fact that call money went
back to per cent. On Thursday stocks
went ahead at a slower pace, but on
Friday after the weekly figures for
brokers' loans showed a decrease of
$64 ,929, 900, the market again shot up
ward, paying little attention to the fact
that call money went to per cent dur
ing the day.
Approaches Old Highs.
The rise that took place last week
was the sharpeSt in many weeks. In
the early part of the advance those
speculative issues which had received a
severe jolt in the recent break led the
advance, although toward the end of
the week the rise included many in
vestment leaders. AS a group the cop
perS, food products, rubbers and retail
stores showed the greatest advance to-
ward new high ground, although indi-
vidual stocks from other groups also
advanced sharply.
The average of leading stocks ap-
preached very close to the high levels
prevailing early in December, although
most of the rise was caused by a few
speculative favoriteS included in the
average rather than the investment
stocks This fact, together with the
sharpness of the rise, indicates that
short covering played an important part
in the early part of the advance at
least.
Future of Money Rates.
The sharp rise last week took Wall
Street by surprise, for its was widely
believed that the market would remain
quiet through the period of credit strin-
gency expected toward the end of the
year. Now, as the period of greatest
strain approaches, the market is ad-
vancing, showing no tendency to react
to high call rates.
At the same time the opinion is be-
coming more general that money rates
may not be SO easy after the first of
the year as has been expected. Def
mite proof of this belief is shown by
the fact that brokers are bidding 814
per cent for the use of money for 30
days and 71a per cent for So months
money. In spite of the fact that last
week the market ignored higher money
rates, the credit situation still looms
large as factor to determine the flu
ture course of security prices.
1t is quite evident that the Reserve
banks will do nothing to relieve the
strain on the stock market. Secretary
Mellon has repeatedly said that there is
no shortage of money for commercial
purposes. The Reserve banks have
seen little they could do about brokers
loans, and what stress they did apply
proved unsuccessful Now they do not
care if the stock market feels the pinch
of tight money, as long as business does
not suffer.
Local Markets Quiet.
While prices of leading stocks on the
New York Curb and in Detroit and St.
Louis recovered most of the ground lost
in the recent break the situation on

METROPOLITAN - "The Haunted
House."

Gallivanting ghosts fit across the
screen at the Metropolitan this week in
the mystery comedy thriller, The
Haunted House."
Replete with shudders and shrieks, this
picture is the greatest of its kind that
Hollywood has offered to its public, but
in the end everything turns out in
happy holiday fashion.
Director Christensen, by numerous
deviations, actually surpasses Owen
Davis stage play, the basis for the
means, weird sounds, kidnapped women,
crazed doctor, a stormy night, a
Sinking Chinese and blinking Chester
Conklin are thrown into a mad tumble
that unfold fine story.
The picture deals with a millionaire,
dying from mysterious poisoning, who
extracts solemn promises from his gath
cred heirs never to enter his country
home. He presents each with an en-
velope that is not to be opened until
after his death. Promptly the envel-
opes; are opened, each containing Key
to the mansion and directions to hid
den treasure. Then follows HollywoodS
most hectic night.
The heirs dribble into the forbidden
house while wild storm howlS with
out, there to find the place haven for
maniacs Chester of the Chuckles makes
you break out into rash of laughter
as the terror-wracked Mr.. Rackham.
Thelma Todd looks very pretty in the
clutches of mailman, and Larry Kent
rouses your envy as the hero dashing
to her rescue. Montagu Love, the mad
doctor, is truly terrifying. To him must
go the wreath of success; his acting
is superb. William v. Mong, as the

FOX-"Prep and Pep"
Another of those pictures which have
been more or less frequent since 'The
Air Circus" in which a weakling be-
comes the toast of alma mater and
beats the school bully, prep and Pep"
at the Fox this week uses an inevitable
plot and the talents of several prom
ising juveniles to give entertainment
that has youth to recommend it.
To those of prep" school age, this
picture will have a decided appeal, deal
ing with the trials in love and war of
snappy young cadets and q charming
fiapper. and giving story that has ac-
ton enough, including as a moving
climas a big fire, in which our hero
rescues the beautiful damsel from the
flames.
Dave Rollins heads quartet of
youthful players, including Nancy
Drexel, John barrow and a newcomer,
Frank Albertson, who incidentally does
some of the best work. Rollins plays
the sort of part the public has seen
him in, a boy with a rather sheltered
background. who on short notice jumps
from school weakling to athletic Zero,
learns to ride like broncho buster and
fight like champion, and sets a-flutter
the heart of the pretty young daughter

are moments of really good comedy, al
though most of the story Is taken up
with the rather sudden metamorphosiS

The stage attraction IS one-ring
edition of the "big tent" "The Circus,
fast-moving sequence Of novelties and
real hits, with performers from many
lands. There is versatile team of Jug
glers and contortionists from Japan
who perform antics with a grotesque
Oriental flavor: a company of "sheiks

battles, and JOcko, a crow with aston
ishing accomplishments.
Ber and Wahl give tumbling Bit

thrilling bit, and the Fox Tillerettes are
good to the last sixteenth in rare nov
city dances. Lawrence Downey, erst-
while invisible master of ceremonies, Is
pleasantly in evidence, cracking big

style befitting the greatest show on

In seasonable setting, the Palace

talent. Pola Negri, in the photoplay

the bill with Wesley Eddy and the
Palace Syncopators in "Topsy Turvy
Town." which is the vehicle for enter
tainment of high order.
Ferry Convey, "the musical clown"
and Ford and Whitley, man and
trained dog act. easily captured the
honors in the stage production. The
talented clown treats the audience to
some unusual music and enhances his
act with antics galore. Canine intel
ligence at its best is exhibited in the
dog act. This turn gets a well de-
served hand. The Phelps twins enter
tain with dance and song and the
Candy Hale girls present clever steps
and colorful costumes.
One of the most applauded parts of
the show is Wesley Eddy's rendering of
Irving Berlins latest song hit, What
About Me?"
The feature photoplay, which gives
the attractive Pola yet another op-
portunity to endear herself to her
clientele, concerns itself with the story
of woman who falls in love with her
sweetheart's slayer for revenge. only to
find that she really loves him. 1t is
a sound picture, but without words.
Paris and the Russian set form the
major part of the play and at times
there is dash of thrill in the offering,
which ends in tragedy and tears.
