lists. gives Sunrise" to the screen
at the Fox Theater.
Murnau'S audacious disregard of
movie conventionalities in choice
of stories, styles of acting, camera
placement, lighting and-perhaps
most important--in development of
theme, are always in evidence In
Sunrise. 1t is a picture that
will stand the test of time better
than most, because it belongs to
no age and to no nation.
Murnau took Janet Gaynor and
George O'Brien from the group of
stars and made them both act as
they probably never acted before
and probably never will aCainS
In this picture, the directorial
influence is uppermost, as d. w.
Griffith's used to be, before the
old master was passed along the
road Of picture progress.
The stark simplicity of the
story commends it to the atten-
ton of every student of the
screen. 1t is about a young mar
ried farmer, who has become in
fatuated with wild woman
from the city. She incites him
to drown his wife, making it
appear an accident, and run away
to the city.
The farmer starts out in boat
with his wife, but his evil reSOlu-
ton weakens. They reach the
city, but spend the time in
gayety, discovering their old love
anew. They start back in tie
boat when it is caught in a
storm. The wife is believed
drowned, but an old fisherman
brings her safely home. The
vamp goes back to town after
being neatly choked by her erst-
while hoy friend.

minds are stepped in drawing,

all the dramatic appeal that pos

length. 1t is, for those who
would choose, alegorical. For
the more literal-minded. it is an
engrossing story of truly human
lives.
The photography is magnificent

GROWTH
SKETCHED BY
RUKEYSER
BY MERRYLE STANLEY
RTKEYSER


NEW YORK. Jan. With
the twenty-ninth annual automo-
bile show under way. it is part
of the record that the seemingly
wildly optimistic predictions Of
the leaders of the industry a dec
ade ago have proven timorous
understatements.
The DOGGY of a saturation poirt
has been forgotten. Pessimists
used to prove statistiCally that
what has happened in popular
izing the automobile could not
happen. There is a profound
lesson in the new economics
which the automobile. industry
has m ons tr a t e d for the
world. The skeptics took a static
view of the economic society, re.
gerding it as fixed and unchang-
ing, with stipulated purchas.
ing power and with predetermined
wants. The doors and the dream
ers of the automotive industry
knocked that conception into q
cooked hat. The Fords, the Mac
auleys. the Erskines. the Sloans
and the WHY'S have taken Q
dynamic view of society and have
shown conclusively that in the
chased nearly as much as It de-
sired The automobile leaders.
recognized the opportunity for
growth in an economic society.
Creates Purchasing Power
The giant automotive industry
not only created products to sell.
but it also swelled the purchasing
power of the country. The pro-
ductive power of the industry it.
self created buying power for other
products. The new lift in national
prosperity came largely from the
smergence of new industries. such
as the automobile, radio. airplane
and industrial chemical trades,
which modified productive energy,
which otherwise might have been
idle. Practical men Of the auto
motive industry early recognized
that they could succeed only II
there were a rising standard of
living in the country. They ac-
cordingly have been partisans of
higher wages and Of a fuller life
for the average man.
About eight years ago John j.
Raskob former chairman of the
finance committee of the General
Motors Corporation, perceived that
the industry had expanded about
as rapidly as it could if it limited
it's sales to those with enough cash
to make outright purchases. Ac-
Cordingly, General Motors and all
the other important factors in the
industry got strongly behind the
instalment plan, and put 1t to
wider use than ever before. In the
early years there were grave
abuses in the methods of finance.
but these have been to a large
extent corrected.
Public Motorized
The statistical preconceptions
which arbitrarily set limits on the
market for automobiles took no
cognizance of the increasing ex-
tent to which the public was sus-
ceptible to becoming motorized
AIvan Macauley. president of the
National Automobile Chamber OF
Commerce. has pointed out, for
example, that 5000 900 families In
the United States have two or
more cars. He estimates too that
there are 5,450.000 motor We
hiCles on farms.
At present. there are 24,750,000
motor vehicles registered in the
United States. A commodity that

lance must satisfy deeply seated
