Brennan
Remains
on Roof

THERE is no doubt about Morrey
Il Brennan being the big attrac-
ton on the Indiana roof, where
he is presenting his dance Or
cheStra.
known as THE Giant of Jazz"
Brennan measures 6 feet 7 inches
in his stocking feet and weighs $50
pounds.
His experience as master of cere-
monies is shown to advantage as
he directs his dance orchestra on
the roof, where he has become con-
versant with local dancers and IA
miliar with their musical likes and
dislikes.
Brennan is possessed of a YER
satile singing voice, which ballroom
patrons seem to find attractive,
whether he sings waltzes, blues or
hot numbers.
He is filling requests nightly for
the dancers and plans special
stunts for next Tuesday evening,
when the Phi Theta Gamma and
the Holy Name YLS will entertain
their members and friends with a
dancing party in the ballroom.

FOOTBALL MOVIE
REMAINS AT APOLLO

1t is said that every man has a
double That is often evidenced by
persons being mistaken for others.
In no other place, however, is this
so often proven as Hollywood. This
comparatively small city is said to
be able to produce an actor within
a reasonably short time who will act
as the double of almost any given
person SO accurately that close
friends of the original can scarcely
tell the difference
This assertion was born out in
"The Spirit of Notre Dame" which
will continue its engagement at the
Apollo for the second week, start
ing today.
This picture was started at Notre
Dame university during spring prac-
tise of the Notre Dame football
team, Then work on the picture
was suspended and the players out
side of those actually on the team
went back to the west coast to finish

ERRAT|C
ON CURB MART

NEW YORK, Feb. 6-The curb
market showed slight leanings TO-
ward higher prices in rather
erratic session today with midday
firmness replacing early reaction,
and resulting in an irregularly
higher level for the list as a
whole.
The sudden reversal of trend
which became more pronounced
shortly before the noon hour ap-
parently due to a well-planned
drive against the short interest,
which had grown TO unwleldy
proportions in recent days. The
buying which was of urgent char
acter for a time failed to Stlm-
ulate any fresh outside demand,
and little more than passing
momentum was attained on the
upside.
One point that this furry did
bring out, however, was that con-
Structive interests were still on the
watch and might be expected to
handle the reins at any time that
the ranks of the shorts would be-
come overtaXed.
Utilities Gain
Utilities were irregularly higher,
with Electric Bond and Share,
rallying from it's low of 43l4 to
437s, for a gain of "a. Higher
price levels were also reached by
American Superpower, Electric
Power Associates A, Northern
States Power, United Gas and
United Light and Power. But the
extent of the gains were but
nominal.
Cities Service showed no dis
position to either move ahead or
back away, and held at approx
mately unchanged levels for the
first half of the day.

Report FUrness in
Bid for White Star

Rumors that the Furness,
Witty interests are seeking the
White Star Lines have been re-
vived again following the collapse
of the Royal Mail shares in Lon
don several days ago. The
shares fell to the point where
they were being given away by
their owners, who feared they
would be assessed if the com.
pany collapsed. The financial
difficulties of the company have
arisen from the fact that it must
meet the payment of $5,000,0 900 on
the White Star shares on July
/ and at the same time provide
for the same payment at the
end of the year.
The current rumorS are similar
