STOCKS IRREGULAR;
SALES ARE LIMITED
Changes IndeciSive, With Ad-
vances and Declines OFF,
setting Each Other. +
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 4.--Swinging back
and forth in tndecisive fashion, today's
stock market mirrored the confusion Ia
the minds OF traders. At times the ad-
vances predominated and again de-
clines were in the majority, but net
changes were small in either case, and
volume was limited.
The feature of the morning trading
was the weakness in the copper shares.
This was partly the effect of the pub
lication over the week end Of the Ana
conda 1890 statement, showing net OF
$18,362,275, against $50, ,l15,72S in me me
preceding year. On a share basis, thlS
was equivalent to $2.07 for 1880. against
1929 for 1929. The condition OF the
metal market today was also factor.
Small lots of copper were reported nav
ing changed hands at 8 cents, and the
metal was being offered at ga cents,
without any increase in consumer in
terest.
Anaconda, Kennecott and American
Smelters g. RefinerS, among others,
went to new lows on large offerings.
Under $40 a share, Kennecott was sell
ing at the lowest since the 2-for-L
split-up and, for that matter, at the
lowest since 1921.
The best showing during the first half
of the session was made by the motoI
shares under the leadership OF General
Motors. which crossed AZ in volume. the
Street expects the regular General MO
tors dividend to be declared at the next
meeting. Auburn advanced scme 10
points and the stocks of the independ-
ents generally were firm. Good support
was in evidence for the Oil shares, par
ticularly the standard stocks, New Jer-
sew, New York and California.
Weakness developed in Missouri Pa
cific preferred in the rail list, but the
selling did not extend to the general run
of carrier issues. Unconhrmed reports
that the railroad would petition the In
terstate Commerce Commission for an
increase in rates may have had an IN
f1uence en- the market. President storey
OF the AtchiSon estimated that gross
revenues for that road this month would
show about the same decrease as IN
March, compared with a year ago.
The market made much better
showing in the afternoon. Weakness in
the coppers was overlooked and the list
began slowly to forge ahead, not on
any change in the trade outlook, but on
the growing conviction that it was over
sold. United States Steel rallied point
or more, Westinghouse Electric made
larger gain, and stocks which had bsen
heavily sold last week rallied easily.
The better feeling toward the rails
was evidenced in debated issues, such
as Baltimore & Ohio and Rock Island.

BARRY MORE'S
MARY ENDS
CAREER
BY ANDREW r. KELLEY

Ethel Barrymore will close
@Scarlet Sister Mary in Chicago
tonight, the Julia Peterkin story
Of the Gullah negroes having
been played for 154 performances.
The character of "Si.Maye"
will go down in. theatrical his
tory as one of the Barrymore
failures, since it is understood
that the Messrs. Shubert are
heavily "in the red" on the black
faced drama, the first time that
q Queen Ethel venture has paid
other than dividends for the pro-
ducers.
Miss Barrymore will give them
. chance to recoup the losses by
reviving Lily Hatvany's "The
Love Duel" ;-ni playing it in
66 cities and towns-mostly one
nighters-where her fame is ex-
pected to attract profitable bust
ness. This tour begins March 2.
Meanwhile, the National Broad
casting Company is said to have
the Ethel Barrymore signature to
an artists contract that calls for
$2,5O0 for each radio appearance.
For a series Of 13 broadcasts she
Is available to commercial spon-
sors for $4,000 for Is minutes. In
addition, she has made some cleo
trical transcriptions for air adver-
tisers.
& Interesting is the fact that
Washington was the most profit
able stand for the unsuccessful
Scarlet Sister Mary" The play
attracted $19,600 in it's week at
the Belasco. Low mark for the
Barrymore tour was in Philadel-
phia, where less than $4,000 was
captured in the final week Of the
engagement.

What First Play?

Manager Stephen Erlanger
Cochran is giving much thought
these days to the opening play
for his stock company which is
scheduled to take a bow on
Easter Monday night.
This departments vote goes for
the Edna Ferber-G George Kauf-
man play, ''The Royal Family" It
has never been done in Wash
ington.
Besides being a very smart
comedy with good parts for the
leads, it presents a grand oppor-
tunity for that grand old trouper,
Mrs. Adelaide Hubbard.
Besides being one of the most
loveable characters I have ever
met, she is fine actress. The
role of Fanny CavendiSh, played
in the original company by Hal
dee Wright-and played mag
nificently, too-offers Aunt Ad-
die" Hibbard the best chance
she has ever had with the Coch-
ran forces. I hope she lands it
and as one of her loyal out front
subjects I will guarantee to lead
the cheering.
Incidentally if you have any
ideas about a better opening play
than THE Royal Family" pass
them along to Impresario Coch-
ran. You may help solve his
present dilemma.

GUILD SENDS
SCHNITzLER
DRAMA

A tragi-comedy, "The Lovely
Way" by one of the most
popular of Continental dramatists,
Arthur Schnitzler, will be pre-
sented at the National Theater
the week Of February %, as the
fourth production of the Theater
Guild subscription season in
Washington.
This Viennese writer, who as
novelist has won q wide circle Of
readers in this country, is
curiously known here as a play
wright only through his comedy,
"Anatol," though it happens to
be merely the first work by the
author of 80 plays. ''The Lonely
Way" generally regarded in
Europe as the most richly
dramatic of Schnitzler's pieces,
was secured by the Theater
Guild several years ago, but the
production was not at once made
because the director, Philip
Moeller, had definitely in mind
for each role actors who only
now have become available.
Has Complex Story
The story Of the play is a COM
plex one, perSuing the egotism OF
man in all its ramifications, and
as reflected chiefly in two
kindred types Julian and
Stephan.
Julian, another Anatol, a gay
loving artist, whose principle OF
life had been self qualification
with no regard for the happiness
of others, has arrived at a moment
in his career when a sense OF
loneliness drives him to seek the
friendship of the son whom he
had not hitherto desired to
acknowledge as his own. At this
point the drama of these two be-
gins, but Stephan's starts with
the light in the eyes of q beauti-
full girl who has come to love
him. The ensuing developments
and revelations in scenes of grow
ing intensity, involving the
parents Of the girl and one Of
Julian's past infatuations, lead
the theme beyond egotism and
it's consequences. The subtly
wrought web of this very human
story is intended to illustrate the
universal fact of the inevitable
loneliness of the individual and
his inability to win complete un-
derstanding and sympathy. Hence
the title, 'The Lonely Way"
The splendid cast brings to-
gether several favorites with
Washington playgoers r alph
Roeder and Violet Kemble- Cooper,
who were recently seen here in
'The Apple Cart" Glenn Anders,
who had an important role in
I'm the Meantime" Johanna
ReeS, Joseph Macauley, last seen
here in 'The Three Musketeers"
and others.

Seek Irene Dunno

"Cimarron" is making box-office
history for R.-K.O, and the
players in that front-rank picture
are profiting by the success.
Irene Dunno, who played
Sabra, is on her way East for
a vacation, and she may accept
an offer from Florenz ziegfeld
to play Magnolia in tI<e "Show
Boat" revival. If he can line up
all the old favorites such as
Norma Terriss. Edna May oliver,
Sammy White and Eva Puck,
Charlie Winninger and Howard
Marsh he will again show what
many regard as the greatest
musical comedy of all time.
1t will cost him more than
$1,000 a week to land the Irene
Dunno signature. She clicked
sensationally in "Cimarron" and
is deluged with movie offers.
The hopeful sign for Marse
ziegfeld is that she prefers the
stage.

ITALY'S. GIFT
TO COMEDY IS
GOOD ACTOR

If you ask an italian what
writer's of fiction his country has
produced, the chances are 10 to l
he will reply instantly, Man
zoni." Or he may say, "the great
Manzoni," and in either case will
pity your ignorance in not know
ing for yourself the author of Il
promessi Sposi."
The young grandson Of "the
great Manzoni" is none other
than Limo Manzoni, who in the
romantic character Of an Italian
opera singer, makes cordial but
restrained love to Flobelle Fair
banks in Strictly DiShonorable."
Native Of Italy
It is fitting that the Count Di
Ruvo should be played by a young
man so nearly his counterpart in
real life-handSome, eager and an
inheritor of Italy's artistic tradi-
ton. Four years ago Manzoni
was a boy student at the Setificio,
learning how silk is made and
marketed" He was to. become
silk manufacturer, like his father.
Then tragedy touched him. His
fiancee died, and the youthful
Limo, heartbroken and disconSo-
late, accepted the command of his
kindly padre to travel to Rome
to ease his sorrow with new
scenes.
He tells what happened to him
there: "At my hotel is Rex In
gram. He is making pictures Of
Nice, but know nothing of that.
He is watching me for a whole
week, and I do not know that,
either.
Zone morning he speak to me.
Are you an actor?' No. I tell
him. You mus be!' And he ask.
ed me to go to Nice to have the
test"
PembertOn Offer
For Ingram Limo starred in
''L'Evade" ("The FugitiVe") and
later with Alice Terry and Ivan
Petrovich in Three Passions"
The last-named was a big produc-
tion. It was heavily publicized in
Europe and the United States. It
became, indeed, great success on
the continent. It never reached
America, for it was a silent pic
ture. Conversation arrived just
in time to kill it.
Brock Pemberton and Antoin-
cite Perry saw "L'Evade" in Paris
and wired it's star an offer to join
this company in Strictly Dishon-
orable." That was five months
ago. He spoke no English. In
Faris he took IS lessons in En-
glish. He has since learned to
like America almost as rapidly as
he has mastered her language
and his English, save for a man.
nerism or two of tense, is nearly
perfect. The movies are very
much interested in this young
Neapolitan lover of Strictly Dis
honorable" and there is rumor
that Paramount has a contract
only awaiting his signature.
