Stringent Margin Requirements.

The corrective process which has pro-
ceeded under the fears of Federal re-
serve credit restriction and the highest
rates for money since 1920 started late
in February and brought a series of
price declines, amounting to as much
as so points and even more in some
highly volatile issues. from the high
levels of the early boom.
There is no doubt that the public's
faith in the speculative structure has
been weakened The fact that notwith-
standing the heavy liquidation not
single member of the exchange was
financially affected is largely due to- the
stringent margin requirements imposed
on those carrying speculative accounts.
The only active class of stocks which
as a group has been able to recover
from the effects of the collapse is the
utilities. Only a few weeks ago these
were in the midst of boom which re-
couped losses suffered in less fortunate
market ventures by those who still had
the courage and resources to buy them
lower down. Their buoyancy has been
the result of carefully laid plans for
amalgamations and the formation of
holding companies under the sponsor
ship of some of the most powerful bank
ing interests in the country.

ROSE MARIE" TO

Jan. %, 29, 80 Arthur Hammer
STEMS Rose Marie"
Rose Marie" is unquestionably a
smashing hit, joyful entertain
ment, masterpiece of production,
and altogether a superb exhibition
Of showmanship. 1t is said this mu-
steal melodrama lends itself readily
to superlatives; it has everything
that goes to make a great show
brilliant cast, a score, adequate
story, a marvellous chorus and mag
nificent stage decoration. 1t is sure
to again break all records here as
elsewhere, and then some, for it is
exciting, clinging, full of color and
rhythm.
In the sensational dance arrange
ments three-score chorus girls are
handled with positive genius. In
the Totem Pole" number the di-
rection is superb. Seldom on the,
stage does a chorus work with more
stirring effect. and the punches are
delivered without a bare skin or
immodesty. 1t is all as decorous as
seminary and yet the results outdo
all the daring of the undressed
shows.
The chorus patterns and steps and
always effective graceful and start
ling without calling in suggestive
ness or nudity, escaping rigidity and
mechanation, the numbers flow
along in easy, happy fashion with
every girl personality and are
amazingly ingenious in ventions.
The Rose Marie" chorus is knock
out from every angle.
The story of Rose Marie" starts
in the Canadian Northwest in 3
Snow-bound hotel with relocated
police, miners and frontier girls.
There are campfire scenes, snow
storms, smart tourist hotels and
then series of episodes in Quebec.
There is every opportunity for local
color and the settings and costumes
take full advantage of the pictorial
possibilities. There Is long pro-
cession of luxurieS for the eyes.
From the production angle Rose
Marie has figured 100 per cent sue
ceSsful. The costumes are Strikingly
attractive throughout and the dec
orations make gracious backgrounds
for them.

Camel Glide Is Latest Dance

Here's the latest in dancing The
Camel Glide"
Anyway, it's the latest in Indian
apolis and threatens to spread over
large section of the country, ac-
cording to Tom Devine, manager of
the Indiana Roof ballroom where
the step was created.
The Camel Glide" said Devine,
proves to certain extent that the
old adage, necessity is the mother
of invention" holds true in many
things.
For instance" he said, "a slower,
more graceful dance is absolutely
necessary as a result of the new
type of popular songs that now are
being accepted over the country as
hits of the day. They are, almost
without exception, much slower
than those to which we have been
accustomed for the past few years
and the greater part of them made
their debut as theme song for
some motion picture
These songs, in order to make
the picture more effective, are in
SLOW tempo in almost every in
stance. Because of their wide cir
culation they quite naturally are
heard over the nation and as a
result the tune becomes popular.
The next development is demand
for it in the bathrooms and then
slower dance step results y
The Camel Glide he added,
was created here by Frank Levav.

more in vogue.

mad seen in years; certainly the
finest thing from the extraordi-
narily productive brain of O'Neiil.
Inasmuch as Nathan is critic of
discernment and a man seldom
given to praise in advance (indeed,
he seldom praises the finished pro-
ductions). this article meant great
deal.
Asides? Yes, it was filled with
asides, the spoken mental speeches
of the characters.
Long? Yes, it would take twice
as long to perform as the average
play.
Difficult to producer Enormously
so, for the director had to devise a
system whereby these mental
speeches might not be too artificial.
The Theatre Gull. which is pre-
senting the play on tour with cast
which holds Pauline Lord, acquired
the play from Mr.. O'Neill when but
six acts were completed. The en-
thusiasm of the Guild directors was
something remarkable.
They we're told on all sides that
they were crazy to think of produc-
ing such a play. That it could never
hold it's audiences. That it was
doomed to a certain failure. That
it would be unbelievably boring.
That no players could act it salts
factorily.
There were a million and one OBJ
jections. The last acts were COM
pleted and the script delivered to
the Guild.
Philip Moeller, its director
worked carefully with O'Neill for
many days in a small and secluded
office so that between them they
might thrash out the more subtle
points. They argued back and
forth over many issues, yet always
came to an amicable understand
ing.
O'Neill, a playwright of both ex-
perience and knowledge, was born
of an actor-father. James O'Neill.
He knew the theater and he was
taking no chances with this, his
favorite and most important play.
He was therefore, a firm man in his
opinions.
Mr.. Moeller, director of great
experience and ability. was just as
firm. It was a friendly argument
all the way through and each
gentleman supplied reasons for his
beliefs. That the acting script went
sc beautifully. is a tribute, it would
seem, to the long hours of prepara-
ton which they made.
