bathtub as he can and does in the pres
ence of his worshipers in the Casino de
Paris.
THE Love Parade" is a very uneven
picture, with some expert and original
direction by that superb humorist, Err
nest Lubitsch, and some painful mo-
ments of stale musical comedy. But in
Maurice Chevalier it has just about the
greatest entertainer that the vocal
screen can boast. He is enough to make
any picture-even "Innocents Of Paris
memorable and exciting and worth
seeing again and again.
Granting that the talking films are
mechanical and that machinery can
never be art, would far rather see
and hear Chevalier's shadow than be
forced to behold the dreary antics OF
10000 ham comedians in the flesh and
blood.

STOCKS ARE Lower

Trading Orderly With Offer

Last Week.
BY STANLEY w. PRENOSH,
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, November 11.-Stock
prices underwent a further drastic
downward readjustment of values to-
day, although trading continued normal
In volume. Extreme declines in the
active issues ranged from to nearly
Is points, with the lowest prices, as q
rule, recorded in the last half hour of
trading.
The extreme nervous character of the
days trading was attributed to the sui
eide OF James j. Riordan, the New York
banker, which aroused fears that the
full effect Of the recent market crash
had not yet been fully disclosed and
that there still might be bad market
situations which would have to be
cleaned out.
Vigorous Short Selling.
Traders who bought stocks for a
turn were inclined to take profits when
ever possible, short selling was more
energetic and fresh investment buyin1
was extremely cautious in character.
Business and trade news over the
week end was generally constructive in
character. The increase of 1873, 981 tons
IN the october untitled orders of the
United States Steel Corporation an
nounced last Saturday, exceeded most
estimates. Most of the earnings reports
which came to hand made favorable
comparison with a year ago.
Call money was in moderate supply
at the renewal figure of per cent and
time money and bankers acceptance
rates held steady.
Establishment of a new low level on
the current decline by United States
Steel common at 1904, of 10A points,
was one of the features of the days
session. The stock opened at 16934 and
fell steadily throughout the session.
