NEW YORK May 3.--Despite
tremendous profit taking due to the
expectation Of another new high
high in brokerage loans to be re-
ported after the close of the mar
ket, stock prices again showed re-
markable f1rmness.
Oils were under moderate pres
sure and made small recessions, but
standard rails like AtchisOn, Union
Pacific and Atlantic Coast line were
tied up sharply and substantial
gains were made in such industrial
leaders as American Can, General
Motors and Chrysler, the former is
sue running up to new high for
the year.
Utilities were again in favor I'M
der the leadership Of Columbia Gas
&c Electric and Standard Gas e.
Electric, both of which sold at new
highs for the year. Heavy selling,
however, was encountered before
the close, carrying many issues
substantially lower from their early
peaks and substituting losses in
some cases.
Describing the stock market, the
Wall Street Journals financial re-
view today said:
Flow of investment funds into
standard industrials, rails and
utilities was strongly in evidence to-
day. Stimulus was given the move
ment by reassuring developments
regarding credit conditions.
Secretary Mellon helped a lot in
removing nervousness on this score
by saying he anticipated no i'm
portant action as a result OF the
conference of Federal Reserve Gov
errors just concluded in Washing
ton. Neither does ne expect any
new steps with regard to the restric-
ton of brokers loans"

Drums of Love" an
Artistic Production at
the Liberty Theatre

n w. GRIFFITH'S newest cinema
~ creation, Drums of Love-" pre-
sented by Joseph M. Schenck in as
ISOLATION with Morris Gest at the Lib
erty Theatre is an impressive outlay
Of finances, promotion and reputa-
tions. Such combination can pro-
duce no simple movie. So Drums Of
Love" is as you have noticed, the
newest cinema creation" We expect
lot of SO much trumpeting. And we
do get great deal. 1t is without
question a thing of beauty. But the
poet to the contrary, it is no ''joy for
ever" 1t is beauty of rare scenic eff
feet, superb photography and acting
of high order. Over it al hovers the
artistic soul land no mean ability Of
ID. w. Griffith who has given the
screen a good deal of whatever claims
it can lay to cinema art.
The story is the old classic Of Paolo
and Francesca-the love of two
brothers, one deformed, for a maiden.
The location for the picture is trans
ferred to Portuguese domain in South
An-vrics IN the middle of the nine
teenth century. Here, in truth, we
have no simple movie to deal with.
The whole thing, in contrast to the
bulk of screen showings, moves
slowly, more intent on telling the
classic story than on other well known
ways of bringing joy to the box Of
flee. 1t is all deliberately costumed,
beautifully photographed, carefully
directed. The tempo of the acting is
kept in line with the unhurried way
of the whole production. In this re-
spect, the Griffith method does not
allow the acting to slip into hysterical
or over-sentimental slushy by-paths
it would be easy for "a less capable
director to wander into. This does
not mean that Griffith doesn't know
his sentimentality. He does, plenty
One would be grateful however if
Griffith resorted to less use of the
fade-out, for which the movie world
knows it has him to thank.
( In this careful way, the tragic role
of the deformed brother played by
Lionel Barrymore, is strong, acted
part. 1t is given good support in the
role of the other brother, we'll done
by Don Alvarado and of Emanuella,
the loved one, by Mary Philbin, an
other graduate of bathing beauty
roles who has risen to movie eminence
tho still lacking in movie greatness.
Tully Marshall Whom you may recall
with pleasure in "the Covered
Wagon") gives a good account of him
self in no unusal role of Bopi, the
clown, who helps events in the story
come to a weepy end.
Drums of Love" has lavish outlay,
good acting and in order to give due
credit-it has brains. This is said in
full justice and in the face of bonn
bastic pretense which might get the
money, but gets this reviewers goat.
1t is all calm and damnably able
production. Yet somehow it leaves
one cold in its theme and its lack of
contact with life itself. Love is life
itself, surely. Tragedy is life itself
too--and don't we know it. This love
land it's tragedy however, is divorced

waging desperate war on the pro-
gressives and radicals.
Injunctions Must be Smashed.
While William Collins, Green's right
hand man in Pittsburgh continues his
idle bluffing, Lewis organizers are
making no effort to put life into the
strike. There is no use denying that
the operators are importing scabs and
producing coal. There is no use deny
ing that the operators think they have
the union on the run. The injunc-
tons are working-wherever the min
ers have accepted the Lewis policy to
obey it. Four men, several yards
apart, cannot stop hundreds Of scabs
from going to work in mine. Where
mass picketing has been inaugurated
there is a different story to tell.
1t is becoming clearer every day
that the defense of trade unionism
rests on the shoulders of the progress
sive, fighting elements in the ranks
of organized labor. Alleged progress
sives who fear to take stand lest
they lose their jobs are in the same
boat with Lewis, Green, Murray, Vol
and the rest of the reactionaries. The
men who built the trade unions in
this country, in the days when trade
unionist was as odious in the sight of
the capitalist government as Com
nunist is today, did not shirk strug-
gle for fear Of losing meal ticket.
In the crisis that is now facing the
trade union movement in general and
the United Mine Workers in particu-
Ter, historical task rests on the
shoulders of militant labor. Il is the
task of saving the union from annihil-
alton and rebuilding them for battle
in defense of the interests Of all
workers.
