Wednesday and Thursday With
the filming of THE Patriot" J" Emil
Jannings' latest starring film, Par
amount broke its own record, tech
nically speaking. Fifteen motion
picture cameras, all being ground
away at the same time, was the
largest number of cameras used on
one set since the epochal filming of
''The Ten Commandments" At
that time, twelve were used. More
than fifteen hundred film extras,
consisting of Cossacks, peasants,
soldiers and others were photo
graphed together in one sequence.
The set, which represents st. Pet
ersburg, capitol of Russia in the
year 1901, was the largest one
ever constructed in the new Para
mount studio. This mammoth pro-
duction was directed by Ernst Lu-
bitsch, well known European di-
rector. A feature of these scenes
in the picture is the drawing of
sIeighs by six horse teams in six
inches of snow. This was done
while a hot California sun shown
down on the set. How this was
accomplished is one Of the secrets
known only to film technical men.
"The Patriot" is letter perfect in
technical details. THE Patriot
has been called Jannings' greatest
dramatic effort to date.

Friday and Saturday-Love a la
mode! The smartness of Fifth
Avenue, the pep of a nightclub
jazz band, the modernity of a Par
isian millinery! All that sums up
the farce-comedy, Just Married,
co-starring Ruth Taylor and jam
es Hall, popular young screen lum-
inaries. "Just Married" first ap-
peared in play form, where it ran
for over year and half in New
York. Anne Nichols, author of
"Abbies Irish Rose" is the author
of the play and story from which
Paramount adapted it to the
screen. Romance-192S style! Ruth
Taylor and James Hall, while rep
resentative of American youth, also
expresses the smart sophistication
that characterizes many of the
younger generation of today. The
roles they play are those of the
smart young society set that one
finds in every American city. "Just
Married" affords both of them a
splendid opportunity to portray
this type of characters. Miss Tay-
lor plays the niece of wealthy
American couple who are visiting
Paris. Hall is a rich American in
the French capital to attend his
brothers wedding. The entire at
mosphere is one of smartness and
luxury. Miss Nichols play was an
excruciating farce and the film
version made by Paramount prom
ises to outdo its footlight forerun-
ner in humor and suspense. The
principal action occurs aboard a
transatlantic liner on which Miss
Taylor and her aunt and uncle are
enroute to America. Hall is an
unbidden passenger on the same
ship, while William Austen also is
aboard and who is Ruth's fancee.
Also included in the supporting
cast are Lila Lee and Harrison
Ford. The picture was directed by
Frank Strayer who has had many
comedy successes to his credit.

FOREIGN FINANCING

Figures Disprove View That Loans

Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, May 15.-The theory
that unless the United States COM
tinues to make large loans to foreign
countries it will suffer a decrease in
foreign trade is shattered by the figures
of American exports for the first four
months of 1929 and those of loans to
Europe and South America in the same
period.
During April there was not foreign
government loan offered in this coun-
try. In the same month of 1923 such
loans amounted to $87,000,000, in 1927
to 1921 $4,000 and in 1926 to S83,-
100000. Neither we're there any issues

Foreign financing has, in fact. con-
tracted sharply during the past IL
months, or since the AZ per cent re-
funding issues of Scandinavian coun-
tries and municipalities and of Aus
tralia had such a poor reception in
April and May, 1928. Those who fol-
low the foreign securities market most
closely see little prospect of a reSump-
ton of loans abroad this year, owing
to the condition of the foreign dollar
market in the United States and the
high rates that would be compelled of
foreign borrowers If they were to place
their issues successfully in this country.
In spite of the drying up of the for
eign bond market, shipments of Ameri-
can products and manufactured articles
have continued at high dollar value
rate. Those for the first four months
of this year are the largest for any
similar period since 1921, when Europe
was replenishing the supplies that had
been exhausted during the war. The
test of this situation NAV not come
until later in the year, for it is known
that a considerable portion of the
proceeds of loans by foreign countries
in the United States were allowed to
remain here and are being drawn on
steadily in the absence of new loans.

NEW YORK, May 15.-Renewed
stringency in money halted a further
rally in prices on the Curb Exchange
today and brought about an irregular
reaction. There was no repetition Of
the selling witnessed earlier in the week,
however. Up until the call-loan rate
began to climb. certain issues were again
bid up violently, largely at the expense
of shorts.
Utilities rebounded swiftly, inspired
by 10-point squirt in Electric Investors.
which carried the stock into new high
ground, more than points above the
former peak.
Included among the other favorites
were issues which had been most re-
Sponsive to buying before Mondays
break This was thought to indicate
that their sponsors had regained con-
fidence. but a certain degree of caution
was created by the rapidity Of the move
ment.
Gulf Oil of Pennsylvania, which was
one of the few stocks to hold its
strength all along, shot up spectacularly
to new high, duplicating the 9-polnt
rise of the day before. Humble kept
pace with it
Buoyancy in the utility division was
the outstanding feature of the trading.
Gains were especially sharp in United
Gas Improvement, Northeastern Power
and American Super-power issues,
while the lower-priced Associated Elec-
trio Industries improved more than
point on a heavy turnover.
Firestone led the high-priced repre-
sentatives, responding to the better
sentiment toward rubber stocks as
whole. Near 295 the price was almost
10 points higher and within that range
of the former peak. Some other large
advances were in stocks like Auburn
Automobile, st. Regis Paper. Lerner
Stores and the newly listed Great At
lantic 81 Pacific Tea, which SCARED
more than a dozen points and sold
more than % points above the intro
ductory price Admission of the issue
to Curb dealings marks another de-
parture on the part of the exchange
from the precedent Of banning non
voting issues.
Among the aviation favorites, Bendix
sold at the highest price since the COM
pany was organized in response to the
news of an important acquisition.
There was less excitement in Fokker,
however, which was firm for the most
part, and demand for most others was
not nearly so aggressive as heretofore.
Reports that the Aviation Corporation
was increasing its holdings of Universal
Aviation and Western Air Express
under the contemplated merger had
little eeffct on the issues concerned.
The last named sold ex-rights and was
inactive.
Movements in miscellaneous indus
trials were generally upward, but there
were no particular features. Hall Lamp

extra dividend in addition to the reg
ular quarterly payment. Hazeltine Cor
poration, ex-dividend, more than re-
gained the amount deducted. There
was very little activity in the mining
