 Surrendered at Prison
 Then Mime. Hanau pulled her most dramatic coup. She escaped from the hospital. It was so bold ly and neatly done that all Paris laughed.
 Detectives were scurrying about the city looking for Mime. Hanau when, about midnight, she drove up to St. Lazare prison and de- manded her old bunk back. She said she preferred jail to the hos pital, and had escaped only for a business conference and q good dinner.
 The incident caused a rapid re- percussion. Her lawyers were busy, public opinion was with her. and she was speedily given conditional freedom to report on her affairs For weeks she worked with her old energy and keenness of mind.
 When she apptared before her creditors, Mime. Hanau bore no traces of her confinement. She was dressed simply in black and her ifongray hair was trimmed close.
 At the opening of the session. M. Coutant, finance expert. report eG that creditors would realize, at the most, only about 30 per cent ot their investments. There was the alternative of the concordant, and the stockholders would have to decide which to accept. Banks Back Claims Mime. Hanau, speaking in clear, confident tones, said that she and Bloch were prepared to pay the debts in full within five years, the first payment of 20 per cent to be made at the end of one month. She agreed to forfeit assets of c?,- 500,000 francs, which she other wise could claim, and added that she and her partner would further contribute 100000 francs. Two reputable banks were prepared to endorse the agreement.
 The throng of stockholders broke into roars of applause. Mime. Hanau explained that the holdings were of greater value than had been estimated and that with proper handling all obligations could be fulfilled.
 When the concordant was voted, many rushed forward to congratu- late Mmc. Hanau and to wish her lcng life and happiness. Her work will be interrupted, however, by criminal charges which she still faces. Her conditional freedom expires at the end of October, when she is scheduled to return to jail. Having won over her stockholders, she must now con- vince the judges.

 0N BOND MARKET
Best Grade Issues Show Little
 Alteration on List

New York, Oct. 22 LT-Price movement in bonds steadied today and most of the changes were of the fractional variety characteristic of the market in quiet times.
 The price of the best grade issues showed little alteration from the previous final prices. As in previ- ous sessions, the greatest activity on the upside was in the foreign sec tion where the movement was ir- regularly higher.
 Offering of the s50,000,000 city of New York per cent bond issue brought the volume of new financing to large figure compared with re- cent days. there being in addition. the Ottawa Valley Power company. Despite the fact that the New York bonds net the smallest yield of any issue of recent years, the offering syndicate was reported to have dis posed of more than $20,000,000 yes- tcrday.
 One of the largest pieces of utility financing or the year IS cOnJemplaL- cd by the Columbia Gas and Electric Company. it was reported today. The company plans $60,000,000 bond issue.

MOVIES. AND MOVIE PEOPLE
By MoLLHE MERRICK.

NEW YORK, November 10 (N.A.N.A.).
The trend of talkies makes us do
some thinking about the men behind
the movies. Hollywood executives are
more difficult of approach than presi-
dents and kings, highly cognizant of
box-of1ce and sex appeal, and on the
whole dismally lacking in what we call
the higher culture; in fact, sheer opti-
mism makes one quality that word
culture"
Because the stories which are made
in Hollywood are bought in New York
the plays and novels which are written
in gelatin--I was interested to know
what type Of man selected the vehicles
Tor these picturesque movie barons.
I found at Warner Bros.'s, where
plays, novels and originals are bought
National and Warner studio-two men
of superlative culture handling the pur-
chase Of movie material.
Jacob WIKI and Sanford Greenburger
are both university products WIKI, the
senior executive, comes from the Uni
Hersity of Minnesota and turned down
an instructorship in English in that
institution to go newSpapering in that
city. He later came to New York. where
he became play broker, and In this
capacity ft1rthered the careers Of many
for William A. Brady for some timo
and Is thoroughly cognizant of the
needs Of the tlleater. n is Jacob Wilk
who brought Galsworthy to the screen.
WIKI who is responsible for the making
In silent pictures of Lady Windermeres
Fam" and Wilk also who is largely re-
sponsib1e for Ernst Lubitsch's presence
in American pictures. DR.. Paul Fejos
came into the world of cinema because
of this executive, whose instincts and
tastes are all along the trend Of cultural
interests, and whose training makes him
keenly responsive to the needs of the
talkie
Sanford Greenburger, the other hall
of the purchasing and selecting combi-
nation, comes to motion pictures with
q European schooling In Budapest
topped by four years at Columbia, a
venture into that institutions law
school, fling as foreign correspondent
Rdaptor Of European plays, editor Of the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-11-19

Continental Theater, periodical re-
view of the stages Of the Old World;
author of biography Of the founder OF
the Moscow Art Theater and personal
representative of Max Reinhardt-
this before his present venturing with
motion picture interests.
Greenburger is fluent in four Ian
guageS, and has q working knowledge OF
several others. He is responsible foa
Leslie Towards presence in cinema
ranks today, and is an ardent believer
that beauty and practically may be
combined successfully In making a mo-
ton picture that will still have that
necessary quality-box-office appeal.
Perhaps the choice of men of this
type on the part Of Hollywood mogul'
is another evidence Of their shrewdness
and efhciency in handling an industry
which has many angles of interest and
many snags on which the unwary- may
be caught. On the Gold Coast authors
and dramatistS cry out, fearful Of the
future Of the gelatin product. It Is In
the hands of sex pllrveyors, is theil
plant: there is no thought of art, nc
recognition Of quality, and no progress
sion in the field of motion picture
making.
Sanford Greenburger believes that the
graph Of q picture should be q broken
line Of dramatic climaxes, moving By
dynamic progression, and each topping
the previous one in intensity: in Other
words, each succeeding scene, he be-
lieves, should be stronger than the one
preceding it. He cites 1.-THE Doorway
to Hell" as an example Of this method
Of dramatic construction.
"Stories? There is only one rule By
which to test those" he said. "Situa.
tons should arise from the natural
everyday life Of the characters de-
picted. Synthetic pieces are Is worth
less as synthetic gin"
