Supported by a fine cast Of
comedians who are really funny

supplied with an %unending stream
Of laugh provoking comedy lines.

simmer and more ~vivacious than
ever. was seen on the screen of the
Capitol Theater starting Tues
day in the uproarious farce
comedy Her Wedding Night"
The comedians who contribute so
gayly TO the hilarious proceedings
in Her Wedding Night" are Skeets
Gallagher, Charlie Ruggles. Ralph
Forbes and Rosita Moreno.
In Her Wedding Night" Clara is
cast as a famous motion picture
star. sojourning in Paris. Meeting

accepts Genegl's invitation TO visit
at her villa IN the south OF France.
On the train. enroute to Geneva's
villa. = Skeets Gallagher. Geneva's
liancee. who had flirted with Clara
in Paris. and Ralph Forbes a
popular music composer who, in his
CWn particular fashion. keeps the
hearts OF many women f~luttering.
Needless TO say the imperturbable
Skeets tries 10 make a hit with
Clara. al one OF the train stops
Clara and Skeets get off for a few
minutes ard while they are chat
ting, more or less amiably. the train
m true European fashion starts off
without warning. Clara and Skeets
arc stranded. They inquire about a
hotel and are taken TO the office Of
the Mayor who. unbeknown 10
them. performs a wedding cere-
mony. They sign the license think
ing II Is the hotel register. Finally
recovering from the shock OF her
rather sudden marriage, Clara
makes the doubly startling discovery
that she Is not even married 10

because Of unpleasant no~toriety.
had prevailed upon Skeets to ex-
change Identities. 50 not only does
our Clara find herself married but
she also makes the d"isconcerting
discovery that She is married to
Forbes bv proxy. And she has
never even seen him.
Naturally enough, such COM
plications are merely the beginning
of things. becoming gloriously
hilarious when Clara and Forbes
meet face TO face while Skeets.
Geneva and Charlie Ruggles try to
patch matters up. The gayety OF
the story Is maintained until a

Fer Wedding Night" TO a delight
full and pleasing conclusion.
As the unbluShing bride who
signs a hotel register and there
by becomes a legalized wife. Clara
Bow gives her best performance
since the advent OF talking pictures.
Sheets Gallagher is his usual fin
nv self as the finance who marries
another woman withou. any III ef-
fects. Ralph Forbes is debonair and
convincing as the composer who
learns to love the girl he unwit-
tingly IS married to. And Charlie
Ruggles. as the well meaning friend
who tries TO patch up all difficult
ties. is again allotted a fine comedy
role.

RESERVE BANK ADDS
TO GROUP INSURANCE

Important industries which during
the past week adopted the plan OF
group life insurance as a means Of
making the future secure for their en-
ployes range from snuff manufacturers
to Federal Reserve Banks. The snuf
maker is the American Snuff Co. OF
Memphis, Tenn, which arranged a
group policy in excess of million dol
lars in value for the benefit of all its
employees and agreed to pay a portion
of the premium.
The Federal Reserve Bank, which
adopted the plan is located at St Louis
The Board of Governors of the institu-
ton increased the amount of group in
surance which it already owned, so as
to care for all employees of the main
bank and its branches to the extent OF
the equivalent Of two years earnings OF
each individual. The bank pays the
entire cost of the insurance.

STANDARD OIL PAYS
RECORD DIVIDENDS
Third Quarter Disbursements by
Group Are Largest in His
tory of Companies.

Cash dividend disbursements by the
companies Of the Standard Oil group
in the third quarter of 1880 amounted
to $68, 859,106, compared With $68, $780,
90l in the second quarter and SOS, 426,-
981 in the third quarter of 1929, &C
cording to figures compiled by Carl H.
Pforzheimer g. Co. Disbursements in
the third quarter of this year show an
increase of $3,432,125 over the payment
for the same period of 1929 and are q
record for any third quarter in the
history of the Standard Oil companies.
Cash dividends for the first nine
months of 1880 have amounted to
S2O4. 212.I75 compared with $194,582,-
OIL in the first nine months Of 1929. a
gain of SIS, $780, 04. The dividend record
for this year is considered exception
ally favorable when compared with that
of many other leading industries where
reductions in the regular dividend rates
have been general.
None of the leading Standard OIL
companies has cut its regular dividend
rate this year. Several have omitted
extra dividends, but the latter had been
paid for the most part at irregular in
tervals and were not considered hx-
lures. In practically all instances
where extra dividends have been paid
over a long period, these extras have
been continued.

VIGOROUS UPTURN
SCORED BY STOCKS.
Operators for Rise Drive
Shorts to Cover at
Short Session.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,
Press Financial Editor.


NEW YORK, September 6. With
their courage regained, bulls admins
tered vigorous punishment to shorts IN
today's stock market, and share prices
rose substantially, as trading Qutckened
to the best Saturday pace since early
August.
The meager success of the bear cam
paign of the middle of week, resulting
in a brisk covering movement yesterday,
decidedly emboldened the spectators for
the rise. u. S. Steel was bid UP across
173 for the first time since the June
crash, and nervous shorts hastened to
buy back their shares, even in the long
depressed copper group.
Most Groups Participate.
The advance embraced most of the
important groups, with the exception of
the oils. Such issues as u. S. Steel,
Kennecott, Cerro de PaSco General
Electric, American Can, U. S. Indus
trial Alcohol, American Telephone, and
New York Central rose 2 to points.
Among high flyers Ingersoll Rand
mounted more than s, Allied Chemical
S, and Westinghouse Electric 4. The
closing tone was strong. Total sales
approximated 100000 shares.
Commission houses have reported an
increasing NOiuIQe OF investment DuylnB,
bu. such orders have in the main been
placed under the market, and have not
been executed at rising prices. Today's
session continued of a primarily profess
SIGNAL nature, with short covering pro-
viding much of the momentum.
Brokerage circles, however appeared
70 be turning decidedly bulliSh, and in
contrast to the bear propaganda heard
a short time ago there was considerable
gossip over uncomfortable bullish ru-
mors. One story had 1t that one of Wall
Streets leading bankers had just re-
turned to town with a more friendly
attitude toward the stock market.
BuIIish Tactics.
The days news was meager, but
susceptible to bullish Interpretation.
The weekly mercantile reviews expressed
considerable optimism, but of re-
strained nature. A sales executive Of
one of the leading makers of low
priced automobiles stated that the
retail car market for that type had
improved considerably. Such estimates
of next weeks steel mill schedules as
were available indicated little change.
The bull movement was aided by an
nouncement of a disqualification plan
for Diamond Match, calling for a split
up of the present shares and payment
of special cash distribution. The pres
emit stock rose several points to new
high ground.

to the little japanese cook, who still
