UNTERMYER SEES
VICTORY FOR FOX
Claims Theater Magnate Has
Sufficient Proxies to Vote
Financing Plan.
Ry the Associated Press.

8y the Associated Press
NEW YORK, March 5.-Samuel I'm
termyer, counsel for william Fox, an
nounced during the stockholders meet
ing today that Fox held suficient
proxies to assure the success of new
Teflnancing plan favored by the Fox
Film Corporations directors and pro-
posed only this morning by the New
York banking group headed by Banc-
america-Blair Corporation.
While the shareholders were voting
on the new proposal, which provided
for the issuance of S40,000,000 in de-
benture bonds and 1880, 600 shares of
common stock to be offered at $40 a
share, Mr.. Untermyer said that Mr..
Fox and his friends held proxies for
622, 900 shares out of slightly more than
SOC, 900 voted at the meeting.
The new plan was submitted to and
approved by the directors after q SUI
preme Court decision had given two
trustees, H. L. Stuart of HalSey Stuart
e. Co., and John E. Otterson, president
of Electric Research Product, Inc, au-
thority to vote the class B shares held
in escrow. Mr.. Fox is the third trustee.
Stuart and Otterson yesterday pro-
posed a refinancing plan which would
require only the vote of the class B
stock. but Federal Judge Coleman, who
heard the recent recelvership proceed
ings for Fox Film, ruled that only the
Bancamerica plan might be voted on.
A new party to the controversy APP
peared in the General Theaters Equip
ment Co. today, siding with the Halsey
Stuart interests. Harley L. Clarke, pres
ident of the General Theaters, an
nounced that his company had commit
ted itself to underwrite the entire issue
of 1,5O0,0 900 shares of class A stock as
proposed by the Halsey Stuart plan.
General Theaters is a leading manu-
facturer of motion picture machines
and equipment.

ADJUSTMENTS
NATIoNAL-"Romeo and Juliet"

NATTONAL--"ROmeo and Juliet"
Tragedy in a human setting, SO hui
man that It became almost incidental
to q poetic romance, taking its charac-
ter from the established quality OF the
Stratford company, Is seen in Romeo
and Juliet" which was played last eve
ming by that company at the National
Theater The atmosphere is OF the 1am-
lily rather than. of affairs of state, such
as mark so many of ShakeSpeares later
productions. Various individual MEM
bers Of the organization are thus onered
opportunities which extend their powers,
and they meet the test with all-around
effectiveness and q more friendly con-
tact with the audience than would be
noticeable in most of the stage classics.
A performance of this type gives
promise of establishing an important
point in the history of the Stage-that
the star system is not necessary to the
enjoyment of the work of the great
dramatist. It is true that the leading
roles must be in the hands OF genuine
artists. but the group from the Memo
rial Theater across the water includes
such artists, though attention Is easily
focused on successive members OF the
cast,
Evidently the visiting company has
caught the spirit of the playwright. IL
is quite likely that Shakespeare had no
intention of permitting any OF the roles
to overshadow completely the work OF
other conspicuous characters Frlar
Laurence and the Nurse, for instance,
together have as great a part in the
action of the play as either Romeo or
Juliet. With this apparent ideal in
bringing these dramas to the modern
theater, the Stratford Players found in
Romeo and Juliet" an excellent vehi-
Gle. Notwithstanding the accumulated
disasters of the final scene, the COM
pany as a whole achieves the effect of
tragic sacrifice for love, without harsh
ness. 1t also emphasizes heroism OF
both men and women in a series Of in
cidents about which the tradition of
the highly sentimental has come down
through the years.
It IS a pleasure to witness a perform
ance in which the youthful lovers Of
the warning houses Of Montague and
Capulet are played by actors Of the type
Of Miss Joyce Bland and George Hayes,
both of whom present the enthusiastic
spirit of youth in keeping with their
roles. Freshness and vigor of interpre-
tation do not prevent them from dis
playing equal skill in depicting the in
cidents of supreme emotion and anguish
which grow out of the feud of the two
great families of Verona.
The Friar Laurence of Roy Byford
and the Nurse, played by Olive Walter,
both in the mold of wise counselors and
sympathetic friends, are achievements
which add materially to the success OF
the performance. Wilfred Walter as
Mercutio has been endowed by nature
with the ingredients of a dashing and
courageous friend of Romeo and his
belligerent family. General commenda-
