INANA)-Thev village faces its most
exciting premiere Of history. Four mil

be shown to the famous tomorrow eve

turning out en- maSse to see this amaz-

Tremendous secrecy as to its final as

Hughes young oil lti-millionalre who
is the producer. Begun in the era OF
silent pictures and with Greta NisseE

retaken, informed with sound, and fin
ished with a new leading lady, June
Msrlowe a blonde OF little previous
experience.
Eleven dollars a seat is a good price

is the price of ticket on opening night.
The lowly movie advances. Time was
when a dollar and half for a gelatin
show was considered devilish.

NEW YORK, March 3.-Busi-
ness recovery will depend q good
deal upon the course Of the au-
tomobile and building industries.
the National City Bank in its
monthly review win declare.
Thus far general business has
had an encouraging recovery
from the low point, but the situa-
ton still lacks balance, the bank
states, "and it is not yet clear
as to how soon full recovery can
be expected" The bank will add:
"The trying character Of the
ordeal which business has
passed through would naturally
argue for a constructive view
Of recovery, but business may
surprise the pesSimistS.
"The very severity Of the de-
cline in business is In itself an
argument for believing that the
low point has been passed. Un:
less business men push the re-
covery too fast, there seems no
reason why betterment should
not continue. One OF the
most reaSsuring features Of the
situation Is the persistent
strength Of the stock market"

INDUSTRY GAINS
BANK REPORT
INDICATES

NEW YORK, March 3.-"Busi
ness barometers which are gen.
orally taken as reflecting the
broad business movement are
practically unanimous in report
ing recoveries from the low aver
age Of activity noted at the end
Of the year, and the gains rang
Ing from 3 tc 8 points, according
to the basis anc methods Of COM
putationS used, the Chatham
Phenix National Bank and Trust
Company morthly outline Of
business for March, reports.
The outline continues:
"The improvement Is mOder-
ate as yet. and Is by no means
uniformly distributed between
the various cOmpOnents of pro-
ductiOn, finance and trade, but
Is the third month opens, evi-
dence Is accommodating that
business is definitely recovering
from its recent sinking spell.
"The most hopeful evidences
Of recuperatiOn now seen ere
offered by three Of the great
basic industries, steel, autOmO-
degree, textiles.
"The steel plants In February
were operating at about 80 per
cent of capacity, as compared
with so to 10 per cent in jan
uary and As or so per cent In
December. Untitled orders show
steady gains over the past five
months. The United States
Steel total at the beginning Of
February was 100000 tons
greater than at the same time
I'm 1929. These indicators are
taken as solid ground for en-.
cOuragement, since steel has
generally proved to be one Of
the sureSt Of barOmeterS.
"On the other hand, o down
ward price tendency and a di-
minishing ratio Of new bookings
to capacity are offered as argu-
mentS against Over-great Opti.
miSlm based upon steel.
"OpiniOn in the automobile
industry looks to q generally
good year, although not on the
scale Of the extraordinary
achievement Of 1929. The rate
Of seasonal increase in the tex
tile industry in December and
January was even greater than
the corresponding months
year ago, although actual con-
sumption was less. Over and
against the gains in these fun
damental lines, however, must
be placed less favorable reports
from building, commodity dis
tributiOn and trade
