Today At Local heaters

Thrills follow thrills in rapid suc- cession. It moves at a tremendous pace, and 1t builds logically and convinincly to a startling climax without 0 single false note to mar the tempo and flnesse of It's deftly constructed and brilliantly photo- graphed plot.
 "scarface" is no plnk-tea affair, os can well be imagined, coming from Howard Hughes, famed for his film achievements.
 It Is n bold, vivid and sensatio treatment of subject which has become ono of Americans major social problems. It's effect on pub lie sentiment will Do overwhelm- ing. And the effect will be towards public betterment. "Scarface" fs Il credit to the moti0n-picture indus try, m great personal triumph for It's Courageous young producer. It Is a picture which everyone should see at least once, because no one who views this tremendous photo-drama will retain any illu- Bions concerning the social an poll. tical problem confronting this na- ton.
 ''scarface" will thrill you, will entertain you, will enllghten you, and at times it will amuse you with its human interest and comedy, which Is part and parcel of any great moiodramn of real life.
 Paul Muni, who plays the gang loader, gives great screen char acterization. A Broadway stage star, renowned for his artistic im- persona tons, he Is seen in bis first outstanding film role in this pie ture. His portrayal of Tony Ca monte assures him of definite star ranking.
 Ann Dvorak, the new Howard Hughes discovery, playing her first film role, Is a sensation, and she, too, gives promise of becoming n star of first magnitude. Karen Mor- Joy, another comparative new comor, is seen in her finest por- trayal.
 Others who give outstanding performances include Osgood Per- kins, c. Henry Gordon, George Raft, Vince Barnett, Ines Palange, Harry J. Vejar and Edwin Max well. A surprise companion fen- ture picture Is also included on this program.

"Night Court" with Phillips Holmes Walter Huston and Anlta Page Ut Polls Palace

If you llke your screen fare red- blooded and juicy in drama, you'll have n robust appetite for Night Court" Metro-Goldwyn Mayors now playing Polls Palace. Hero is c daring picture, presented in n striking manner, splendid In enter tainment values.
 Directed by w. $. Van Dyke from an original story by Mark Heliinger and Charles Bea ahnn, the film takes as its premise tho situ- ation of m interruptions man, occupying the bonch of G magls- trate and using his court power to further the criminal activities In which he is involved. When q | judicial inquiry threatens his se- curity, the Judge manages to frame" an innocent girl, tho accl- dental possessor of damaging ln- formation, and throws her in Jnll where her revelations arc hlddcn from inquisitorial minds.
 In the opinion of this reviewer the theme Is one that will arouse tremendous discussion. Although plot and characters are purely flc- tionnI, 1t Is obvious that tho story had It's inception somewhere along the lines of recent judicial investi- Rations. Whether the Implications arc founded on fact or not, it rec mains Q mighty human drama. fascinating in its' suspense and cllmaxed by q unique murder mys- tory which clarifies the wrongs done tho innocent.
 Phillips Holmes, as the taxi driver whose young wife lH sent to prison, heads the splendid cast. Walter Huston is magnificent In q role deserving of no sympathy. that of tho crooked judge. Anita Page offers n surprise in the tragic role of the framed girl, turning In e performance that makes us won- der why this talent has been ,al- lowed to remain dormant beneath q veneer of jazz baby roles. Lowls Stone Is the presiding jurlst who is slain by underworld hirelingg and Jean Hersholt is tho tenement house janitor who unwittingly aids the railrOnding of tho chnuffeur'a wife. Noel Francis registers aiiuringly as the Judge's paramour and other appropriate haractoriza- tions are played by John Milan. Tuliy Marshall, Warner Richmond and Mary Carlisle. .
 Van Dyke's direction Is moving and pictorial. His picturization of tho night court and It's habitues In the opening court and It's hnbitues in the opening scene is m impress sIve camera painting. There is all tho glamour. Aordidness and hu. man dereiiction to be found In tho typical night court in these att mospherlc scenes.
 our Gang comedy, and Moviet- tone News completes tho program.

COTTON VALUES SINK
IN WEEKS TRADING
Market Has Been Influenced by
Southern Hedging and Trade Buy
ing-Crop Report Awaited.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 5.-The trad
ing in cotton futures here during the
past week has consisted largely C1
Southern hedging on the one hand and
trade buying on the other. Business
otherwise has been restricted either by
political uncertainties or a disposition
to await further Developments in other
directions and the trade buying has
been chiefly on setbacks or scale down
orders. 1t has been in sufficient volume
to absorb the current offerings. but
prices have Sagged gradually lower,
making new low ground for the present
movement. December contracts at the
low level of the week scld at 500, or
below the 6-cent mark for the first time
since early last August, and at this
price presented a decline of 367 points
from the high price touched late last
Summer.
The decline of about rs points from
the high price touched on the mid
october rally. appeared to have i'm
proved the technical position of the
market however, and also to attract
rather a more active trade demand.
This was supplemented by considerable
covering and some commission house
buying which caused rallies during to-
days trading Uncertainty as to the
showing of the Government crop re-
port scheduled for publication on No
vember may have been a factor in re-
stricting general business during the
earlier part of the week, but according
to canvass made of New York Cotton
Exchange members today. very little
change is expected in the figures.

BANK CLEARINGS HOLD
GAINS DURING WEEK

clearings maintain the recent improve
mont. The total this week at all lead
ing cities in the United States, as re-
ported by Dun's Review. was S4,121,-
356.000. decline of 345 per cent as
compared with the short week year
ago. in which election day occurred.
This reduction was mainly at New York
CITY, where clearings this week amounted
to S2732 Col coo. a loss of 38 per cent,
while the total for leading centers out
SIDE of New York of sl,388, ,755, 900 was
2S.4 per cent smaller.
Several of the large industrial centers
at the West still contribute to the de-
cline. Chicago and Detroit are the
most notable and because of the heavy
clearings at these two cities the loss is
relatively larger than it would other
wise be. At Boston clearings are also
considerably reduced. Further improve
ment. however, appears at Philadelphia,
while the decline at Pittsburgh is much
less. At Baltimore and most Of the
Southern cities. notably Richmond,
Louisville and Dallas, declines are also
less conspicuous Pacific Coast points
still show considerable losses.

STOCKS ARE FIRM

Slow Advance of Previous

BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
oecial Dispatch to The Star

SpeClhl DlSpdlCn 10 Inc oLdT.
NEW YORK, November 5.-The week
in the stock market closed with prices
firm and a strong undertone. Fridays
gains were retained and in many cases
increased, while the nervousness over
the election in evidence earlier in the
week disappeared.
The market opened higher, hesitated
when the car loading returns came out
and then resumed its creeping advance.
The traffic figures showed for the week
ended october 20 a decrease of 24,53l
cars from the previous week, which was
a reduction of 16.5 per cent from the
same week in 1881, or exactly the same
percentage of decline as had been reg
istered last Saturday. This was as
good as could have been expected, mas
much as some drop had been antici-
pated.
The railway stocks worked fraction
ally higher under the leadership Of
Union Pacific Traders seem to feel
that if any carrier equity was entitled
to an advance it was Union Pacific,

it with a margin when all the years

club
Elsewhere active speculation for the
rise went on in alcohol stocks. 1t was
based, of course, on expectation OF pro-
hibition modification after the election.
United States Industrial Alcohol, Amer
ican Commercial Alcohol, Crown Cork
& Seal, National DistillerS Products and
Owens Illinois Glass were the favored
mediums. Two groups which showed
impressive steadineSS were the metals
and the oils. Texas Co. and Standard
of New Jersey were the leaders OF the
oils.
The weekly business reviews were at
variance as to the effect of election
uncertainties on trade, but the market
was disposed to take the more favorable
view. Montgomery Wards October
sales showed a falling off Of 10.1 per
cent from the same month year ago.
In September the decrease was 16.4
per cent and for the 10 months of the
calendar year 1t was 20.4 per cent, so
that was a good showing.
Wheat shared the SteadlneSS OF stocks
and that was a help. Cotton was up
over ST a bale. Sterling rallied half
cent, and among the European gold
currencies Swiss francs were off 2 points
and guilders of 3.
Realizing at the end carried prices
off slightly from their best. but the close
showed a preponderance Of advances,
and all things considered, the market
acted reaSsurlngly.
