An Ambassador of Joy"

THE polished gentleman who Yields
l. the baton and introduces the per-
formers at Loews Palace now Is Her
bert Rawlinson, Hollywood's "Ambas-
sador of JOY"
From his early boyhood," says Sam
Rubin, the Loew press agent. "Herby'
wanted to go on the stage. When his
parents objected he ran away. But go
ing on the stage was no easy task, even
in those days, so instead of becoming
an actor, he found himself through ne
cessity, labeled, Herbert Rawlinson,
Property Man, which implies that he
was the man called upon to dig up
Such articles called properties" as were
not carried by the show and to safely
care for those that were. But he was
property man for a circus, not for
theater, and his work was not entirely
a cinch.
However, this circus went the way
of all small circuSeS and came the day
when it was stranded In Oshkosh or
maybe Prairie Junction. To keep Red
Riding Hoods mortal enemy from the
door Rawlinson then shipped as sailor
on a Great Lakes steamship and served
before the mast for two years.
Finally an opportunity presented it
self for him to join REP" show under
canvas, and he was graduated thence
into a stock company and later to a
small travelling road company The
season for this show ended, however,
and the congenial Mr.. Rawlinson then
became stage manager for the IBelasco
theater stock company. From this he
stepped into the movies, reached the
coveted goal of stardom, became known
as the official greeter of the famous
Breakfast Club which has entertained
royalty and rags with the plebian dish
of ham and eggs, earning the title,
Ambassador of JOY"
And this is the brief life story of
the new master Of ceremonies at the
Palace.

I'VE had pretty tough time OF
it." Middleton said after achieving ten
hours sleep and three or four baths
upon his return to Hollywood, but it
was great! I wouldn't have missed 1t!
When we got away from the rail-
road they had to make their own road
with tractors to move the trucks and
generators and other paraphernalia and
there was quite wind-the tents blew
down few times and mussed things up.
Il reached Death Valley Junction on
the railroad at half-past four in the
morning to start a twenty-five mile
drive across the desert. Having been
forewarned, had breakfast with me
sandwiches and thermoS bottle of cof-
fee-and made out very well. A shower
bath would have been acceptable but
one can always waive some of the re-
finements of civilization in an emer-
gency.

An Early Start.

IF any moving picture actress in the
after years wants to claim a title for
seniority, she'll have to beat the record
of Joan Marie Liebelt, who made her
debut at the age of weeks.
This latest "rnovie star" acted cry
ing infant role in one of. Paramount
all-talking films. Miss Joan Marie,
Whef interviewed, indicated she liked
talking pictures because thereby an art
list was enabled to preserve her charac-
teristic moods for posterity. The young

movie. One of the leaders of Co
lumbia University issued a recent
report entirely abSolving the
photoplay from blame in the So
called crime waves. This man, a
thorough, painstaking worker
was not satisfied with giving out
his ideas on the subject; he made
tests with children, and the tests
covered quite period of time. His
final report showed that the
movies had little or nothing to do
with child delinquency. In most
instances he found the motion
picture, while exceedingly popular
with children, was forgotten with
in a few minutes of the time the
child had left the theater. There
was nothing in his tests and in
vestigationS that would indict the
movie.
The statements of the Califor-
MIA professor are of such a nature
that they bring about a well
known physical ailment commonly
known as pain in the neck. 1t
would be just as logical to draw
blinds over the shop windows to
prevent the children from viewing
fine garments. High fenceS-hun-
dredS of feet high-Should be
erected around the beautiful gar
denS and homes, SO that the
youngsters of the poor neighbor-
hoods cannot see how others are
living. Such sights might tempt
them to the road of crime.
The photoplay, because it is
popular with the younger element,
has become a target for the re-
formers. There are bad movies
and good movies, but the reformer
SharpShooter does not make a
distinction; he uses a few blank
cartridges now and then, but he
certainly is always on the job. He
is very busy with our morals, our
habits, our books, our stage and
our photoplay. We must be pretty
bad!
THE momentous question of
whether or not there is room
in the world for both the legiti-
mate stage and the talkies, vehe-
mently denied a few months ago,
seems by now to be resolving it
self quietly in the affirmative.
Broadway producers are busily
planning their next seasons
schedules, and the talkies, need
less to say, are as excited as ever
over their cleaning future.

some compromise, should have

tween the stage and the young

that black rust was spreading. More
over, the amount Of wheat on ocean
passage today showed a big falling off
both from last week and a year ago,
starting 4 to 214 higher. Chicago
wheat afterward reacted little and then
climbed again. Corn and oats were
also stronger, with corn opening "a TO

Active buying here of wheat future
deliveries was promoted today not only
through Liverpool sharp price upturns
and as result of continued decrease
OF world supplies aflost, but also be-
cause of adVtces from Chicago crop
experts in Argentina telling of crop
damage from black rust, with late wheat
damaged the heaviest. Losses of prob
ably 100000 bushels were estimated
in Santa Fe and Cordoba Provinces
alone.
On the price bulges, however, the
wheat market here was called upon to
absorb enlarged selling to realize profits.
There were also sizeable standing orders
met with to make speculative offerings
on all advances. Meanwhile good ex-

The securities markets were subjected
to further severe liquidation in the
first three days of the week, prices
falling to level we'll below the previous
low points of the current decline. Botn
the volume and the extent of this new
break was surprising, in so much as
the general feeling had been that the
greater part OF the necessitous liQuida-
ton already had been absorbed. The
reactionary movement appeared Tu
have become equally as excessive as
did the rapid advances earlier in the
year. actual values in neither case being
given much consideration. A sharp
rally, however, took place in the clos-
ing two trading days of the week as
the numerous constructive forces of the
Nation, including the Federal admins
tration and the Federal Reserve sys-
tenn applied their efforts to halt the
decline and to restore the confidence
OF investors in the country's business
and industries. Brokers loans for the

further contraction of $4,000. 900.

Considering the great increase in cor
porate capitalization and the numerous
listings since that date, current loans
are relatively lower than they have been
for several years. All three sources of
loans decreased Sizeably this time, al
though loans for the account of local
banks, which had previously borne the
brunt OF the, burden when corporations
fastened to turn call loans into cash,
showed the largest decline. 1t is ex-
