CLEVELAND, July 18.-Although de-
pending on more hope than proof, -
steel producers believe they are ap-
preaching a turn for the better after
experiencing the lowest level of opera
tions in modern times during July, says
Steel in its weekly trade review.
The magazine points out that con-
sumers next month will be more
nearly stripped of supplies than at any
time in recent history: that July was
the lowest month of the 1921 depres-
sion," and that after Labor day some
quickening is regarded as inevitable, if
for no other reason than new harvest
will be coming in and farmers will
CLEAN a new money crop"
Production rose points last week to
a rate of Is to 16 per cent, regaining
the June average of activity, the maga-
zine says. This was due more to an
accumulation of orders resulting from
prolongation of the July 4 holiday than
to any improvement in underlying de-
mand.

E. R.

He saw and heard the initial presentation of the play last night and will be present again at it's final showing tonight. His keen and unusual in- terest in the production is because he has a tender feeling for the pretty young woman who shared in the authorship of the best seller novel, "Adois," from which the screen offering was adapted, She

THE LASH' TO BE FOLLOWED
 BY 'SvENCAL|'
Barrymore to Be Seen To- morrow at 1 A. M.
 Matinee Tonight

''The Lash with Richard Bar thelmess in the leading role, will be presented for the last times to- night at the Coliseum theatre.
 "Svengali,' starring John Barry more, will be the principal attrac- tion on the new program tomor- row. This is the program that will be shown at the l o'clock matinee tonight.
 At all performances Rex Parrott will play selections on the organ. In The Lash" Barthelmess plays the romantic role of Spanish don turned bandit in the manner of Robin Hood. The story is laid in Los Angeles and environs about 1850. The film version is a pie turization of the widely-sel1ing novel by MT. and Mrs. Lanier Bartlett.
 Special Appeal Here
 "Svengali' is sure to have a special appeal to residents of Ju- neau. For John Barrymore, the famous actor, who plays the title role, is quite well known here. he having made this city his head quarters while he and Mrs. Barry more, known to the screen as Do lores Costello, were cruising in Southeast Alaska waters last sum- mer in their $3O0,OOO yacht.
 The romance of Trflby, the beau- tiful model, played by Marian Marsh, who unwittingly falls vic- tim to the evil magic of Svengali Is one of those stories which seem to possess eternal youth.
 Fantastic Haunts Portrayed
 The scenes are laid in the fan tastic haunts of the Latin Quarter in Paris and in strange dives in the picturesque lands, where the hypnotist spirits Trilby in an effort to evade her three friends, Taffy, the Laird, and Little Billee.
 The supporting cast includes Lumsden Hare, Donald Crisp, and Bramwell Fletcher as Taffy, the Laird, and Little Billee. Luis AL berni portrays Gecko, the humble fiddle playing slave of Syeneali, and Carmel Myers makes an ar resting Honori.
 The screen play was written by To- T l<t directed. f

ANSWER TO NU(vT BRIDGE
 PROBLEM NO. 3
MIDNIGHT PREvIEW AT 1:O0 A. M.

This problem is by Milton c. Work, well known Master of Bridge Play and his solution is as follows: South captures with the Ace of Clubs and leads the Ace of Hearts, which enables him to place West with the Queen.
 South then proceeds to eliminate all Clubs and Diamonds from him. self and Dummy by leading and 'ruffing. He then leads the King of Hearts. Another lead of Hearts puts West in, who must now lead from his Spades, as he has nothing else to lead from. The rest of the play is obvious.
 There is another method of play that was sent in by several con- testants which depends upon fore ed stuff and would not be safe un- less the cards were exposed upon the table. Kindly remember that the winning play should win if the hands were not exposed for ob- servation. There are few Super players who can remember every card played and make use of this knowledge during the last few tricks, but their name is not legion.
 For submitting the first winning solution as per MT. Milton c. Work, we award the we'll known Bridge Ensemble, consisting of etc, etc, and bargain at two dollars, to MT. Carl c. Jensen who is request ed to call and introduce himself and receive the same.
 Honorable mention for submitting winning solutions, although little late, go to Mrs. F. H. Foster, Mrs. A. w. Stewart, Mrs. R. D. Peter man, Mrs. B. O'Loughlen, Mrs. B. E. Moody, MT. Charles G. Burdick, and MT. Curtis Shattuck.
 We have sent to Bridge Head quarters, New York City, for some problems that are reported to be the rael cream gravy. We started this just for some fun, intending to run 1t a few times and quit, but there seems to be a demand for more and as long as you reply we will give them to you. When you quit we will quit.
