Nothing in Hollywood brings such
widespread rejoicing as the making

No less than 1000 of the Hollywood
mob benefited directly through the

brings Marion Davies and Robert
Montgomery to the Capitol theater.
In this picture are scenes Of the
New York tenements, Of the Ziegfeld

nue. and aboard q millionaire's yacht.
There are glimpses OF night life in

Of two New York working girls who

more reasonable approach on her part
to questions that involve the economy
of the United States and most OF
Europe.
The notable improvement this week
has been in the market for securities.
Business shows no change. It Is as
fiat and inert as ever. The cumulative
effect of this Is witnessed In another
long list Of downward revisions IN divi-
dends. Standard Statistics this week
estimated that the profits to corpora
tions last year were only about half
those of 1880 Commodities improved
late this week with securities. One of
the expectations of the banking legis-
lation is that it will promote a more
confident attitude toward commodities
on the part of consumers. The iron
and steel trade is in the doldrums,
lacking encouragement from the larg-
est of its normal supporters. The army
of the unemployed is now larger than
depression Serious consideration is
being given in Congress to Federal aid
to relieve the Nationwide distress.
At the same time the income OF the
Government is falling of to an extent
that alarms those who are responsible
for bringing the budget to a balance.
Within month of the period when the
first installments of this years income
taxes are payable, there has been no
determination of the schedule of rates
to be applied to 1881 incomes. The
fiscal situation Of the Government is
one that cannot be corrected by any
of the measures that have been adopt
ed to improve credit or business senti-
ment, though it is as important that
it be remedied in the interest of greater
public confidence and the preservation
of the gold standard in this country as
any Of those now pressing for relief.
