SOME FACTS
ABOUT O'NELL PLAY

The Theatre Guilds production Of
Eugene O'Neill's play, Strange In
terlude," begins at $50 p. m. The
first half runs until nearly 8 o'clock,
at which time an hour is declared
out for dinner. At o'clock the play
resumes, for there are four more
acts TO be given. The final act con-
cludes shortly after IL p. m.
The actual playing time of the
play Is something like four hours
and half. This is double the
length of the ordinary play. It
was somewhat longer when Mr..
C'Neill first wrote it.
Although there are eight char
acters in the play, the principal
burden falls on the four playing the
roles Of Nina Leeds, Charles Mars
den, Sam Evans and Ned Darrell.
The role of Nina Leeds is believed
to be the longest ever written land
Played for woman. 1t is one of
the great parts of the drama;
actresses, it seems, are anxious to
play it all over the world, for the
Theatre Guild has but recently dis
posed of the foreign rights and the
story goes that there was immense
competition abroad for that part.
Strange Interlude" is not the first
lengthy play. Contemplate, if you've
a mind like that, on the full text
OF Goethe's Faust" first and
second parts. 1t is the sort of a play
that might be presented to a child
IN his STRIPPING years and when it
concluded he would have a beard.
They say that when Uncle Toms
Cabin was first presented in Paris,
1t ran for five continuous hours.
Then there is George Bernard
Shaws Back to Methusaleh," which
We written to be presento on five
different evenings, but which the
Theatre Guild, its producers, event.
ually persuaded the author to trim
down to three evenings. Even then,
1t would run from p. m. until way
after IL o'clock.
But-tStrange Interlude' seems
to be the first very lengthy play
in our dramatic history to make so
enormous a success of itself. 1t has
had success which seems now,
with its first tour, to have. just
begun.
"Fhe Strange Interlude" opens at
EngliSh's on Thursday night, Jan.
81, for three DAYS only.

'STOCK PRICES DROP
AFTER EARLY RISE
Market Turns Reactionary as
Result of Heavy Profit
Taking.
BY STANLEY w. PRENOSU,
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, November 18.-Disre-
garding favorable week end business
and financial news, including the CALI
ing OF series of conferences by Presi-
dent Hoover to stimulate business, stock
prices turned reactionary today on what
appeared to be a heavy volume of profit
taking and some short selling. Net
declines of l to points were quite
general, with few larger declines and
also sprinkling of net gains.
Trading showed a reduction of about
one-third in volume from last Fridays
session and much larger reduction
from the levels earlier last week. The
ticker kept fairly well abreast OF the
market, the longest delay reported
being less than 20 minutes.
Credit Conditions Easier.
In view of the sharp advance in the
two closing sessions of last week, today'S
setback was regarded more as COR
rection of temporarily top-heavy con-
dition that the beginning of a fresh
decline. There were no signs of any
large volume of distress liquidation, al
though many brokers feel that the
backwash of the recent drastic decline
will continue for some time to come.
Credit conditions we're distinctively
easier. Call money renewed at 5l2 per
cent, and dropped to 5 when funds be-
came available in the outside market
as low as per cent. The recent
drastic decline in brokers' loans has
released large volume of credit. part
of which has been made available in
the call market.
Several favorable dividend develop
ments made their appearance today.
Directors of the Dupont Co. declared
an extra of 20 cents. as contrasted with
an extra of so cents in the previous
quarter, Calumet SE Hecla authorized
dividend of ST so as, against the pre-
viouS payment of 81. the annual rate
on International Printing Ink was raised
from $3.50 to SO and an initial payment
was authorized on Lerner Stores.
Failure of New York Stock Exchange
house, the first as result of the recent
drastic break in prices, was announced
just before the market closed
Some of the lamentations in today's
market were rather erratic in character.
United States Steel common opened
fractionally lower at 1631s, rallied to
l641a and then dropped back to $50.
Allied Chemical dropped points and
rallied 10. A. NJ. Byers converted a
gain of 3l5 points into a loss of similar
extent
Auburn Auto broke IA points, J. I.
Case and Columbian Carbon 9 each,
General Electric and Johns Manyille 8,
and Pere Marquette, Brooklyn Union
Gas, American Can, American Tele-
phone. Westinghouse Electric and East
man Kodak sold down points or more.

BERLIN May 8.-In the mat ter of mitts, Berlin boxing experts have struck a snag.
 At the last bout between the German heavyweight, Ernst Roese- mann, and the Italian giant, Primo Camera, for whom gloves of a special size had to be made, it be- came apparent that the big Ital- ian's opponent was greatly handi- capped.
 For the larger gloves of Camera, weighing five ounces, according to the regulations, naturally had less padding than those of the other man, whereby the Italians blows were made more telling than those of the smaller man with his fists encased in thicker padding.
 This all important question now has been put before the German boxing association.
