"THUNDERBOLT" IS
 NOW AT COLISEUM

"Thunderbolt," the all-talkie fea- ture starring George Bancroft, open ed at the Coliseum last night and it is a wonderfully well-acted pro- duction from start to the end. The cast is splendid. The dramatic se- quences of "Thunderbolt" takes one from the heart throbbing Harlem, New York's great negro metropolis, to the e-inspiring setting of Sing Sings Condemned Row; through the night clubs of New York's ''black belt" to the Little Green Door" where society claims its penalty for crime.
 Josef von Sternberg directed "Thunderbolt," which accounts for it's gripping reproduction of con- temporary life. Its events are the episodes which the newspapers blaz . on forth every day; its episodes are the intimate details behind the curtain of these gripping events; it's chief character is mighty king of the lawless land which continu- ally threatens law-abiding society the underworld.
 George Bancroft has done a great piece of work, greater than he of fered recently at the Coliseum in "The Wolf of Wall Street" Likeable Richard Arlen and lovely Fay Wray have the supporting leads and a brilliant cast of character actors carry the true-to-ife roles.
 "Thunderbolt" is new picture one that takes new lead in motion picture excellence. It IS entertaining, revealing and wholly interesting.

The belief that European business
will emerge from the present depression
at q new high level of organization and
efficiency is expressed in a report on
current economic conditions abroad by
H. G. MacLean, American representa-
tive at the Paris headquarters of the
International Chamber of Commerce.
The report was made public here today
by the American section of the inter-
national chamber.
The present worldwide depression in
industry, trade and agriculture, he re-
ports, is bringing a vigorous house
cleaning in all branches of activity.
Companies which face heavy short
term debt maturities, large unsold stocks
and reduced sales" he says, 'are max

down proportionately to present price

ties and liquidations are foreseen for
the less efficient and less fortunate. al

adjustment is being shortened by the
alacrity with which hitherto unreached
