HOLLYWOOD, Calf, September 80
lN.A.N.A) Ramon Novarro is so busy
directing these days that he would seem
to. have lost the identity of a great
star and matinee idol. If, indeed. he
ever exhibited any Of these well known
characteristics.
So trenchant and inspiring has this
young Latin's direction been that the
company Is allowing him to make a
French version of Call of the Flesh, -
which he has already done in Spanish.
And Noyarro himself frankly tells me
that If he had his way he would be
more content to remain q director for
the rest of his life and never step be-
TO- the cameras again.
II find" said he, that where once I
had the creation of merely a role in
creation of all roles. ! find the salts
faction following upon molding a story
far greater than the delight in creating
q plausible and likeable character in
some one else's picture"
At the present time Novarro is both
acting leads and directing. This is not
unusual in Hollywood, but is most un-
usual In the type of star Ramon No
varro Is. Louis Wolheim is doing that
double work successfully. Lowell Sher-
man has already accomplished the feat
Will 4&O1AOAos <Al10 A4OA4C4 Dali y4llOAC
did it with flying colors in the days
when he was still before the cameras.
But it seems scarcely in the picture
that q star Of the youth and pulchri-
ture Of Novarro, who is a superb actor
as well, would ever be allowed to retire
from the acting angle Of his work while
that box-ofice pull remained.
Novarro viii soon begin work on a
story adapted from Dr. Arthur Schnitz-
ler's story, 'Daybreak," with music by
Oscar Strauss. This should be one Of
the most beautiful scores and books to
come out Of Hollywood.

The phrase, "Gone to Pot" Is Of
Oriental origin. A tailor in SaInarcand,
who lived near a burial ground, kept
count of the deaths by dropping stone
into pot for every funeral that passed.
When he died some one remarked that
he had gone into the pot himself.

MACHINERY BUYERS
ARE MARKING TIME
Special Dispatch to The star.

special Dispatch TO The star.
NEW YORK, March 2O-Machinery
and machine tool market centers
throughout the country report an I'M
changed situation, with purchasers plac-
ing orders only for immediate needs to
carry on production, American Machin-
list reports.
Word received in the past week in
dicates that, while the tone of the mar
ket is showing progressive improve
ment, buyers everywhere are pursuing
a "watchful waiting" policy, pending an
easing in general conditions.
Present business in the New York
area Is originating chiefly from build
ing activity, structural and subway
construction. Opinion among dealers
Is general that the situation today
looks considerably brighter than it did
several weeks ago.
Small machine shops are placing the
bulk Of orders in the New England dis
trict. Bookings are mainly for single
units and small items. Railway equip
ment orders are being received In in
ereasing volume in the Canadian mar
ket and the next six months are ex-
pected to bring a substantial improve
ment in machinery business there.
Agricultural implement and tractor
manufacturers are the principal pur-
chasers In the Chicago area, with in
qutrieS and orders mainly for single
items. Demand Is reported fair in the
Cincinnati district, with single TOOLS
predominating in orders placed.
Based on the number of inquiries
from Texas, pending business in the
South is promising but market condi-
tons at present are reported quiet.
Railroads there have already filled their
needs, and little activity is expected
from that quarter for an indefinite time.

nestle consumers the while. It is rI-
mored the price viii be reduced, but
similar rllmors have gone around at In
tervals ever since the break in the stock
market last Autumn. The disposition
of producers Is known to be to hold the
price against all odds.
In the meanwhile a curious fiction
has been circulated to the effect that
the copper magnateS have been import
ing large quantities of refined African
copper to hold it of the market with
view to preventing q break in the price.
That story has just enough truth in 1t to
be mischievous. Copper has been i'm
ported into the United States from
Africa, but that is not a new develop
ment; it has been going on for years.
Where the fiction comes in is In the
statement that this is refined" copper.
Africa has no copper reflnerieS. The
copper shipped is black or blister cop
per, not merchantable metal.
The facts are that the Union Miniere
Du Haut Katanga, Belgian copper
company, the only producer Of copper
in. Africa today, has q contract with an
American refiner to refine the blister
copper (which it sends over here. More
recently the Katanga company built its
own refinery in Belgium. but the plants
capacity is too small to take care of
the company's entire production. Once
refined the copper goes back across the
seas for marketing. In January 5000
tons arrived from Africa, the first in
two months.
A certain amount of standard copper
is shipped here, also, from England, as
has been the case for years. That, too,
is sent to be refined, since standard
copper is very low grade and almost I'M
merchantable. The big American pro-
ducerS of conner have nothing to do
with any of those transactions.
Consumption Gains.
Curtailment of production Of copper
currently is at rate between 80 and 35
per cent of the peak of last year. Pro-
ducerS made the last cut in production
in February. This will not be reflected
in refined copper statistics until May,
as putting ore through the smelling and
refining processes consumes several
months. Meanwhile, output of refined

MARYLAND UTILITY DEAL.

BALTIMORE, March 20 Especially -
The application of the Maryland Light
g. Power Co. to acquire IA Maryland
electric utilities was held to be a re-
quest to purchase the properties and
not a consolidation or merger scheme,
in an opinion given the Public Service
Commission by William Cabell Bruce,
general counsel to the commission.
If the regulatory body accepts Mr.
Bruce's opinion and grant the applica-
ton, the acquiring company will gain
the commissions approval for a bond
issue of $1,200,00O. If. however, it is
held finally that the application is a
consolidation or merger request. the
commission cannot legally approve the
acquisitions.

COPPER INDUSTRY
MEETS PRICE TEST
Ability of Producers to Main

eStS Street.

Dispatch to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, March 20.-For one
reason or another Wall Street pays
more attention to the copper industry
than to any other commodity, unless 1t
be wheat or cotton.
One reason undoubtedly Is the fact
that many more copper shares are list
ed than rubber, tin or any other metal.
Another is the speculative glamour that
surrounds a mining stock because of
the mystery of its ore reserves. There
always is the chance of strike of rich
ore. For that reason mining stocks are
ideally speculative issues.
The copper situation is of peculiar in
terest just now because of what may be
called buyers strike" In the market,
precipitated by the refusal of producers
to reduce their price on refined copper.
despite the decline in consumption and
increasing surplus stocks of metal.
Buyers are reSentful here and abroad
and are purchasing metal from hand to
mouth and using up all of the scrap
copper they can, in the hope the price
will come down. The feeling in Euro
pean consuming circles is especially bit
ter against American producers.
Output CurtaiIed.
Producers are meeting the situation

Railroad BOard-Hears
Further Argument on
Permit for Auto Line

Devils Lake, N. D.. Feb. 20.-tP,-
Having finished a two-day session at
Grand Forks yesterday. members of
the state railroad board today heard
evidence here bearing on the matter
of whether certain motor freight
companies should be permitted to
operate regular routes in this terri
tory.
Businessmen from Valley City,
Minot, Rugby. Churchs Ferry. Lako-
ia and other towns appeared as wit
nesses in the ease in which the Da-
kota Freight company. Grand Forks,
and the Turtle Mountain Transport
company, Bottineau, each ask a per-
nit to do business over certain routes.
Opposing both motor freight COM
panies is the Great Northern railroad,
which contends that neither should
be granted a permit. The hearing Is
expected to last three days.
