HOLLYWOOD, Calf, Oct. %.
In former years, "The Easiest
Way" was a problem drama that
kicked up quite a discussion on
Broadway.
Metro Goldwyn-Mayer believes
that it can revive the echoes in a
modernized talkie version on the
Eugene Walter play.
The 1880 heroine will be Con-
stance Bennett, whom Pathe has
consented to loan for the produc-
ton. Miss Bennett already has
amaSsed a vast amount Of popu-
larity for her performance in an.
other old-timer, Common Clay"
After the loan of Miss Bennett,
Pathe is expected to have smooth
sailing in its efforts to borrow
Robert Montgomery from M.-G.-M.
to play one Of the leads opposite
Ann Harding, in Rebound"
Swapping of players is common
among all the studios. Pathe, for
instance, loaned Ann Harding to
First National for THE Girl of
the Golden West" on considera-
ton that Frank Lloyd be allowed
to direct a picture on their new
program.

Ed Wynn's first picture for
Paramount will be called Follow

L. I. studio version of "Manhat-
tan Mary" but since musical COM
edy names are now as popular in
screen circles as poison ivy, the
new title has been attached. And
Paramount would have you know
it is not a screen musical comedy,
but instead a fast.moving screen
farce.

Throughout the three acts, Play
wright Ballard takes some sly
pokes at our judicial system, much
as Sir James M. Barrie with his
whimsical pen raked the British
barristers in Legend of Lenora. !"
He does it through the medium of
Mrs. Livingston Baldwin Crane, a
New Jersey society matron, who
brings to the court room a breezy
informality which is not restricted
by stern legal procedure.
Once Mrs. Crane is seated COM
fortably in the jury box and
fortified with her lorgnettes' the
trial of Mrs. Gordon for Staying
her husband begins. Soon this
delightful dowager is serving
justice by her own effective if
unusual methods.
When the scene shifts and we
peer into the jury room where a
cosmopolitan group of types be-
gins to weigh the evidence, the
humor becomes a bit boisterous
with some liberal daubs from the
old hokum bucket.
You may take it as an object
lesson against the mixed jury
system if you prefer to be serious
between laughs or a subtle punch
at a system which preScribes that
an offender be tried by a jury of
his peers. Or you may take it
as most everybody did at the
National last night-as a vehicle
for laughter and a pleasant even
ing with Mrs. Fiske, an actress
extremely adept at the light drol-
lerieS and in expressing gay
comedy moods.
Once it was established by the
opening ballot that the jury was
H. to one for conviction, and
that the individual out of step
with her fellows was Mrs. Fiske,
the audience hoped ahead of
the playwright. You were fairly
certain who was going to win in
the end SO there was a let down
in suspense while interest cen
tered on the path taken to the
not guilty verdict.

which fits the talents Of Mrs.

IRREGULAR

Market Lacks Trend as High

.ecial Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, December 30.-Bond
trading today was of an extremely Sc
lective nature. Issues. both high grade
and of secondary quality, in which de-
Jlines have been substantial were still
being sold by those transferring their
paper losses into actual losses in order
to save on income tax payments. On
the other hand, there was good buying
in all parts OF the market of issues con-
sidered to be at bargain levels.
The consequence was that two issues
of similar merit would show wide loss
in the one and wide gain in the other.
Not only that, some bonds that opened
weak later were much higher on the
day and vice versa.
Money rates were unchanged, the
market remaining unimpreSsed by the
'windoW-dreSsing" operation of the
banks in forcing year-end call rates to
3i2 and per cent for renewals. Time
money was stationary and in abundant
supply again after Mondays slight
tightening.
The opening was irregular, with few
firm spots scattered throughout the
prime group. Examples we're Atchison

Plate 4l2s, Northern Pacific As. Amer
lean Telephone 512s, Consolidated Gas
5S, Duquesne Light 412s, international
Telephone IS, New York Telephone
AIS, National Dairy Products 5l4s and
Pan American Petroleum IS. These
advances were well maintained.
The selling in the high-grade issues
caused only fractional drops in Union
Pacific as, Columbia Gas SIS, Philadel-
phia Co. SIS, Utah Power & Light SIS, and
Inland Steel 4l2s Substantial buying
made its appearance in United States
Government obligations, blocks of $780,
600 and 100000 frequently appearing
on the tape. Prices of Liberty issues
we're advanced 1872 to 4-32, while
Treasury descriptions were unchanged.
ConvertibleS were irregular and not
changed much either way. Allegheny SIS,
up II, and Utilities Power g. Light SIS,
off 2, had the only wide fluctuations.
Junior rails were highly cratic Chi
cago 6l Eastern Illinois SIS, Chicago

This last issue was particularly active,
owing to speculative buying by those

Special Dispatch to The Star.
Ahead Of the procession instead of
behind It, That is the way the cleo
trical equipment manufacturers are fin
ishing up 1880. The procession did not
move as fast as In 1929, but the march,
ing step was brisk, none the less, for the
electrical manufacturers.
Final figures are not yet available,
but it is likely that the net profits of
the two largest producers will approx
mate $87,5o0,000 This is decline
from the record figures of 1929, the best
year the industry ever had. But the
strange part Of it is that while some
products showed the effect of the BUSH
ness depression, others defied 1t and
showed gain.
Refrigerator Sales.
Among the latter products were cleo
trio railway locomotives, electric equip
ment for street railways, railway motor
cars and trackless trolleys and oil-elec-
trio machinery for driving vessels The
real feature Of the year for the leading
interest was the volume of sales Of cleo
trio refrigerators, which for the latter
part Of the year were 80 per cent higher
than in 1929.
Not only did the electrical equipment
manufacturers secure profits from radio
equipment made by themselves or un-
der their patents. but they adopted the
vacuum tube to a wide variety of In
duStrial uses. Electric welding equip
ment was more extensively used in con-
Struction work than ever before, fol-
lowing the adoption of the battleship
deck type of floor. Distinct improve
mentS were recorded in the automatic
welding machines using the atomic by
drogen process.
The largest steam turbine generator
ever built was constructed during the
year. 1t has capacity of 10000 kilo-
watts. GaS-electric buses were used
for the first time in interurban service.
The largest merchant ship ever built
in America, the electrically driven DOL
lar liner Herbert Hoover, was launched
few weeks ago. The companies are
now making extensive experiments in
the field of talking motion pictures and
in apparatus for television.
EIectrifcation Plans.
The outstanding feature of the COM
ing year in the industry is likely to be
in the railroad electrif1cation field. The
programs of the great carriers provide
for a tremendous amount of work of
this kind in 1881 Whether the new
projects in the public utility field are
as extensive as expected or not, the
electrical manufacturers will have big
volume of central station equipment to
build, because it is a we'll established
fact that such equipment becomes prac-
tically obsolete in five to six years and
must be replaced by improved ma
chinery.
Some of the manufacturers are going
into the production of electro-therapeu-
tic machinery and into equipment for
the use of electricity in medicine gen.
orally.

By United Press
CHICAGO, Sept. 6.-Three veal
thy couples, returning to their homes
from a night club, were held up by
five men in Evanston early today
and robbed of jewels valued at ap-
proximately 100000.
The victims are Jason F.. Whit
ney, president of Kraft-Phenix
Cheese Corporation, and Mrs. Whit
ney; Oliver A. Blackburn, secretary
Of the same concern, and Mrs. Black
burn; James Hewitt, Manchester,
England, who is visiting at the
Whitney home, and Mrs. Gladys S.
Mehan, in front of whose home the
robbery occurred.
Leaving the Coffee Dan night club
in the Chicago loop between l and
Q a. m, the couples went direct to
Mrs. Mehan's Evanston home. They
believe the gunner saw them leave
the cafe and followed them from the
loop.
AS the Whitney chauffeur held
open the door for Mrs Mehan to
leave the car, the bandits drew
alongside and demanded that all
jewelry be turned over without de-
lay.
Two of the men, impatient be-
cause they thought Mrs. Whitney
too slow in removing a bracelet,
stepped inside the car and searched
all the occupants.

Makes Prediction.
BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6. - The
ideal size dirigible, and the one
which eventually will come, will be
twice the size of the British RICO,
which is the largest in the air at
present. That is the belief of Lieu
tenant Commander Charles E. Ros-
endahl, former commanding Off
Ger of the dirigible Los Angeles.
The R-1OO is more than 1850 feet
long, 131 feet in diameter. and has
gas capacity of $4,000 cubic feet,
so it can easily be pictured how
large a dirigible recommended by
Lieutenant Commander Rosendahl
would be.
Probably the best airship for
transoceanic service will have a
volume of around 100000 cubic
feet" he says.
The increased size of airships will
not result in increased difficulty in
handling them. "It isn't reasonable
to expect nature to increase the seri-
BUSINESS of its obstacles as we in
crease the size of our ships" the
dirigible expert says.
