q part-that of Peggy Chalfont-whlch
calls forth all the appealing qualities OF
her delightful personality. Peggy Chal-
font is a young wife who adores her
husband. and who cannot bear to see
him unhappy because womans IN
f1uence has made him lose the long
coveted appointment to the governor
ship of Arda. Womanlike, she cannot
resist the temptation to step in and try
to straighten out the situation. Her
method is to pay a personal call to the
Earl of Darnaway, who should have ap-
pointed her husband. The call gives
rise to a series of unforeseen conse-
quences that furnish rich material for
an urbane, clever and irresistible COM
edy of sophisticated Londoners. For
months it has been one of the leading
theatrical attractions in England.
In support Of Miss Hayes, Mr.. Mil
Ter has provided a cast said to be moth
ing short of brilliant. It includes, as
featured player, Henry Stephenson, late

Claire and Paul Sifton, at the National
Theater tomorrow evening.
The Siftons are journalists. Mr.. Sif-
ton being Sunday feature editor of the
New York World. Their play is melo-
drama of ideas and takes place on the
night in which a woman Is to be ex-
ecuted for a celebrated murder. It
shows how the ramifications of this
case involve the members Of a family
whose only contact with the murder is
the fact that the father was the fore
man of the jury that voted for convic-
ton. The authors have intensified the
excitement Of the play by the continual
sense Of the violent intrusion of modern
publicity into private life

RIALTO-Conrad Nagel in To-day"
WITH Conrad Nagel and Catherine
w Dale at the head of cast Of well
known players, To-day" the current
feature at the Rialto Theater, Is ex-
pected to be one of the most discussed
films of the year.
To-day" deals with the case Of a
young society couple in comfortable cir
cumstances who are cleaned out of
everything they own by the stock mar
ket crash. The husband grits his teeth,
disposes of all his possessions to begin
with clean slate, and starts the climb
to fortune all over again. But the wife
cannot accustom herself to common
place existence. She longs for the
parties, fine friends and beautiful
clothes. A society friend fans the long
ing to an intense flame and there comes
a breach between husband and wife.
How the two come out of their differ
ence brings the picture to an unex-
pected and thrilling climax.
Today is based on the Broadway
play By Abraham Schooner and George
Broadhurst. william Nigh directed the
film.

This years crop value was $22,-

compares favorably with the 1928
total of $21s,656,OOO.
Short cash crops this year as

While the acreage planed in
crops for this year was greater
than 1929 the yield was lower
except for winter grains, oats

vailing for all crops reduced the

NEW YORK, Dec. 10 QNS0.
Prices in most sections of the
market were carried to lower
levels today by profit-taking at the
opening, but good rallies were un-
der way before the end OF the
first hour.
ii That speculative interest had
cooled off somewhat was seen in
the sale of only 100000 shares in
the first half-hour, against $4,000
shares in the same period on
"wednesday. Selling for tax
losses" was also in evidence, ap-
bearing on the tape in the form OF
broken lots of various sizes.
S Drive Brings Upturns
r. A drive against the shorts in
Auburn Auto, Vanadium and other
Elose-held specialties resulted in
new upturns of 2 to 6 points. Au-

porting evidence Of the concentra-
tion of stocks in strong hands
and the gradual whiting down
of weak margin holdings. The
whele market quieted down near
the noon period, the coppers and
oils being again under mild pres
sure.
Grain and cotton reacted in the
early trading, but bonds turned
upward and made further prog
3ess in their recovery. Call money

a year. This figure was fairly
constant during the entire period
He also found that Of the grocery
stores in existence at any given
time at least Is per cent had
existed one year or less.
Conclusions reached as a re-
suit of the studies are that the
mortality rate of independent"
retail grocery, hardware, shoe,
and drug stores is exceedingly
high. A grocery store. it was
found, has about the same chance
of surviving a year as has q man
aged 80.
Stores which are disappearing
are continually being replaced by
others which are no better quail
fled to exist. These conditions as.
sertedly result in great personal
hardShipS, credit losses, losses Of
capital, and in social wastes.
In some cities, in some years
it was found that new stores were
being started at a greater rate
than that set by similar stores
going out Of business.

CURB MARKET
SLIPS OFF

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-The
curb market fell back slightly to-
day, as operations for the rise en-
countered increasing resistance
around the upper limits of yester-
days rally tops. The pressure to-
sell was not unduly heavy, how
seVer, with the minor price reces-
sSions due principally to the lack
sof follow-through on the buying
SSide, after the extensive recovery
aof the past two days.
I. Many issues developed individual
sStrength which proved sufficient
TO carry them to moderately i'm
proved levels, but the main body
of stocks were unable to wade
through the overhanging offer
=ings, and these maintained their
position within reach of previous
CLOSING levels.
y In response to the widely her
aided secondary reaction which
= was believed due today, initial
quotations were generally lower,
as traders decided to vacate their
positions with the profits then
available. Offerings showed no
tendency to pick up any momen-
tum, however, and the market
turned into a dull and narrow
trading affair for the greater
part of the session.
A number of strong spots were
uncovered in a generally irregular
gutility group.

OUTLOOK
Continuance of Rally Would
Provide Basis for Better
Views From Business Men
BY THE SPECTATOR

In spite Of heavy profit
taking in the final period,
yesterdays market closed
higher, with the utilities in
the lead. The shorts in
Auburn Auto and other
closeIy-held specialties were
given a taste Of their own
medicine, when the bulls in
control rushed up prices
from 10 to 80 points above
yesterdays low levels. This
is the penalty for il-adviSed
short selling after a pro-
tracted downward movement.
AS a general rule a gloomy
financial atmosphere is not
conducive to profitable short
selling.
The Washington times., 1930-12-19
II Per Cent Decline

1t is the prevailing view that
the stock market at the low
levels Of the week was worse
than the business situation. The
decline in the stock price average
was II per cent in the 20 sessions
from November % to December
16 inclusive. Meanwhile, indicai
tions of more trouble for business
have been conspicuously few, If
allowance is made for seasonal
factors.
If the decline in stock prices
represents liquidation without re-
gard to prospects for business
recovery there is legitimate basis
for hope of an upturn in the
market shortly after the turn Of
the year. If it reflects modifica-
ton Of prospects for earnings and
dividends in the early part Of
next year, the recovery in stocks
will be further postponed.
Wall Street believes that a
strong and sustained advance in
stocks between now and Christ
mas would wipe out the uncer-
tainty now lingering in the minds
of business leaders and provide
the best possible tonic for frayed
business nerves. For that reason,
if for no others, they hope for
further recovery in stocks, bonds,
bank stocks and commodities.
Decline Stacking
Official reports of building per-
mits issued in SGT leading cities
and towns shows that although
falling off in proposed building
and construction activities con-
tinued during November, declines
were less pronounced than during
the preceding month. November
building permits showed a DECLINE
of IL per cent as compared with
October, as against the usual
normal decline of 8.9 per cent.
October, however, had shown q
loss of 10 per cent from Septem-
ber, contraSted with a normal ex-
pectancy of a S per cent increase.
