RUSSIANS HERE
FOR STUDY

NEW YORK. July 24.-Six
Russians, the first contingent of
a group of 10 students being sent
by Russian industries and univer-
tiles to attend American engineer
ing schools for one to three years,
passed their first day in America
making arrangements for begin
ming immediate work in summer
school. Five are matriculating at
Columbia University, while the
sixth is at Massachusetts, Insti-
tute of Technology.
The Russians arrived on the
Europa, but their coming was
kept as much a secret as possible
by Russian authorities in order
that the students would not have
to face the customary fire of
queries about Stain or Russia.

NEW YORK, July "a Q.N.S)
Scattered selling of a handful of
the speculative favorites in the
early trading today forced prices
to a level from which they were
unable to recover.
For the third day in succession
the market sagged of its own
weight in the dullest trading that
has been witnessed since the mid
die of 1925.
Take to Side-Lines
Confusion of ideas with respect
TO stock values, in the face of un-
settlement abroad and depression
at home has forced many of the
big traders to the Side-lineS and
that accounts for the first series
Of less-than.a,million-share days
since the market started boiling
more than four years ago.
The heaviest losses in the in
dustrials and utilities were re-
corded in the first 10 minutes,
some of the leaders starting with
. AdAAAACdp VI POAA1O VI uAOAC.
In the fourth hour Big Steel at
90 still showed a loss of 134 from
Thursdays close, all but "a point
Of which was dropped at the
opening.
American Can was down a point
at 100A; Bethlehem Steel down a
point at 437s: New York Central
down Ia. and Southern Pacific
down 1A at 79A.
Good Steel News
"A per cent increase in steel
operations in the Youngstown dis
trict, to Al per cent of mill ca
pacity, was good news for the
bulls, but as in other cases the
market was sluggish in taking
notice of developments of this
kind.
The independent steels" fol
bowed the downward course of
United States Steel, which is suf-
fering from an overdose of pessi-
HI1iStic dividend reduction talk,
emanating mostly from the camps
Of the bears. The leading Gin
dices" also showed an upturn in
electrical power production to the
best level since May 16 and an
increase in freight traffic in i'm
portant freight zones.

MERIVALE HAS
DOCTOR ROLE
in NEW PLAY

The presentation of new play
by Sir Arthur Wing Pinero, the
noted British author, always
ranks as an important theatrical
event, and, when enhanced by the
presence of Philip Merivale in the
starring role, the occasion be-
comes one of fine distinction.
With these two great personalities
of the theater merged into DIR.
Harmer," Pinero's most recent
work, it is to be assumed that un-
usual interest will be manifested
locally in the presentation of this
offering by Lee Shubert at the
Shubert Belasco Theater, the
week of March 16, directly prior
to its Broadway opening.

physician of that name who,

ical man, possesses quality that

their domestic as well as their
physical troubles. Beloved by all
and looked upon by the elderly
widow with whom he lodges as
dearly as if he we're her son, Dr..
Harmer has one great popularity.
In the title role, Philip Merrl-
vale is said to have the most en-
gaging role of his career, and
one that displays his subtle YER
satility to the utmost, not ex-
cepting his memorable portrayal
in Death Takes a Holiday" His
supporting company is one OF
genuine distinction, and includes
on it's roster Hal j. Scott, Connie
Graham, Helen Vim S on, Viva
Birkett, Roland Hogue, Wallace
Erskine, Frank Greene, Olga
Birkbeck, Reginald Malcolm and
Felicia Vail. nley Logan's
adroit direction adds immeasur-
ably to the full enjoyment Of
"Dr. Harmer."

HORN ACTORS
GOT NATIVE
NICKNAMES

Screen celebrities in Africa
are known by names far different
from those Hollywood calls them.
The natives rename them all.
For instance, when w. S. Van
Dyke and his Metro-GGldwyn-
Mayer troupe invaded the Dark
Continent to film Trader Horn"
now showing at the National
Theater, they soon found them
selves rechristened.
Van Dyke, for instance, rtcame
known to the natives as "Bwana
Macuba." which literally Cransla-

chief of the motorized safars shoV-
ing into the jungleS.
Duncan Renaldo, the Peru Of
the cast, was known as 'Bwana
Toto" which means The Young
Gre" and Edwina Booth, the
heroine, was nicknamed by a ma
tive appellation that meant Miss
Few Clothes" Her costume ac-
counted for that Harry Carey,
who played Trader Horn. was
"BWana Kiboko," or "Mr. Hippo
potamus," because he Was the
largest man in the party.
In the village, where natives
sometimes see an ancient moving
picture exhibited by a travelling
Snowman, other names were
picked up. John Gilbert is known
as "Bwana Kidogo," which means
BLACK Hair" and the late Lon
CLANCY was known as 'Swana
Simba" Qion), because he played
savage roles. Buster KCaton is
called "Kufanoo," which means
