Raft, Carroll;
 State Feature Noted Stars Rise to Heights in Under.
 Cover Man"

Set . thief to catch . thief has long been m accepted axiom, but seldom has it been developed so dramatically and in so unusual a manner as in 'Under-Cover Man, the new film which opened this afternoon at the State theater. Here is melodrama at its best in q setting of Wall Street and Park ayenue-the upper-underworld in it's new trappings of elegance.
 Fresh from his triumph in "Night After Night" George Raft gives another performance of out standing merit in the role of Nick Darrow, a high-class confidence man, who offers his services to the police as an under-cover man, for the sole purpose of finding the murderer of his father. This Nick Darrow, of the steel nerves, a crook who has always worked alone, gives the police inspector to understand that he's not turning atool-pigeon; he doesn't like the police any better than he ever did; but he'll play along with the de- partment until he accomplishes his revenge.
 Nancy Carroll has the role of the girl, Lora Madigan. whose mo- tive is also revenge. for the same gang which killed Nick's father, murdered her brother. a bank-run- ner. Looking more beautiful than ever in the past, Miss Carroll gives q. moving and dramatic perform ance. She and Raft, in fact, make a good team.
 The entire cast, moreover, is of exceptional quality. Lew Cody is properly sinister in the role of Ken Mason, apparently a Park avenue playboy, but in reality, leader of the gang of bond thieves. Greg ory Ratoff gives his usual finished performance as Martoff. Mason'A lieutenant. Roscoe Karns adds to his increasing popularity as Dan- nIe. a killer. employed by Mason; Noel Francis is excellent as Ma son's girl, and David Landau scores as the police inspector. An excellent surrounding program ac- companies. the feature presenta- ton.

Strong Cast
 in 'ROckabye" Palace Brings Bennett, McCrea and Lukas
 Here

Constance Bennett fulfills one of her greatest ambitions in portray ing the fascinating temperamental character of Judy Carroll in Rock abye." This, coupled with the stars own glamorous personality and histrionic talents, gives prom ise that the RKO-Pathe picture coming Sunday to the Poll Palace theater will be her finest achieve ment.
 "Rockabye" tells of a giddy ac- .tress' deep love for children and. a clean love for man that tears at her soul. Her difficulties are mag nified when, as witness in the em- bezzlement trial of Commissioner Howard she becomes part of the scandal and loses a little girl whom she wishes to adopt.
 Conquers an Author
 After a vacation abroad she re- turns with renewed enthusiasm She has found q marvellous play "Rockabye" but the author does not want her to play in 1t. At first sight he thinks her too lacking ln fire and understanding to play his troliop of the streets who is re- deemed through love for her baby. He soon changes his mind. Their first meeting is n clash of strong wills that ends in confession of love after a night life round of pleasure- seeking.
 A great, tremendous, clean love has at last come to Judy. but can she accept 1t at the price attached to 1t? What Is the ruling passion of her tempestuous heart--lOve for q man, her man, or that miraculous something that makes her lullaby singing 6 glorious love paean?
 Rival Leading Men
 "Rockabye" provides two leading men for Miss Bennett. Joel Nc Crea in the role of the playwright and Paul Lukas as her manager both devoted lovers. The part of "Snooks," the actress disreputablc but IikabIe mother, is ideally suit ed to Jobyna Howland's talents. Others in the case are Clare Blan- dick, Hazel Jones and J. M. Kerri- gan.
 The story provides a background of the theater and Is lavishly staged and mounted, Constance Bennett wearing 8 bewildering ar ray of beautiful costumes. George Cukor directed "Rockabye," ar adaptation of Lucia Bronder's play by Jane Murfin and Kubec Glasmon.

THE saxophone resented his
mastery and loudly voiced its re-
sentiment.
Even unto this day a sax will set
up a wall when it meets new
master That is why the worst luck
you can ask to befall man is that
all of his offsprings should be
saxophonists.
"All kidding aside, Hughes became
quite an artist. He was in demand
for dances, banquets, and functions
of all kinds and caused the then
standard orchestra of piano and
drums to be augmented to piano,
drums and saxophone.
This is where my good friend
Russ Holler came into the picture.
Russ thought was that if one saxo-
phone sounded good-five or six
should sound better.
HE assembled the six saxophones,
piano, drum, and a cornet and
made his debut at dance in the
old Woodruff Club q shouldn't be
giving ages away.
boy! The cornet didn't have a
chance. Those saxophones were all
moaning and cutting up and run
ming up and down the scale, SO that
the cornet was completely showed
under. Was I glad? / had hated
a cornet since my grade school days,
when my father was always making
me practice, when I wanted to get
out and monkey around. This band
certainly gave me the laugh on the
comets.
Long live the saxophone.
incidentally, if you happen to go
up to the Indiana ballroom tonight,
where the boys, the Call Sisters and
Ruby, and myself are playing for
waltz night, you will notice that we
are playing several very nice sax
solos. This is not a back to the
sax movement"
Other theaters today offer: 1.-THE
Merry widow with Donald Brian
at English's; Hobart Bosworth at
the Lyric, THE Big Broadcast" at
the Circle, "One Way Passage" at
the Indiana, Rain" at the Palace.
and six Hours to Live" at the
Apollo.

out that the new instrument was
to be played by one of the good
churchmen, who was to be accom-
panied at the piano by his wife.
my curiosity urged me to muscle
in and get a front seat for the
really big moment of the evening.
With it came a feeling of chagrin as
I heard the man tune up his horn.
He didn't even get close to the "a"
He was probably quarter tone
off, but then, I suppose he figured
that he was only going to play a
couple of tunes and it would hardly
pay him to really get in tune. IF
he was going on a steady job it
would be different-he could then
afford the time to tune up.
"By way of description, let me tell
you that the sound which emitted
from the sax was a cross between
the noise of an old time vacuum
cleaner. and buzz saw. And, the
churchman's arrangement of "Over
the Waves" was ininitable.
Nevertheless, the instrument
showed possibilities, if it was prop
erly handled and Subdued. Ev
Hughes, then student at Tech
high, recognized these possibilities
and set out to master MIR. Saxe's in
vention. And, let this be said for
Hughes, so great was his determine
ticn to conquer the sax, that you
couldn't stay in the building with
him when the combat was on.

LIQUIDATION IN
WHEAT FORCES
PRICES LOWER
All Options Touch New Low
Levels as Pressure
Mounts.
BY HAROLD E. RAINVrLLE
limited Press stan Correspondent

HICAGO. oct. 26.-wheat
opened fractionally lower on the
Board Of Trade today, again setting
new low levels for the season, for all
deliveries. December touched As
cents, within Is cent of the all-time
low of last year. Winnipeg De-
cember opened higher, but i'm
mediately reacted to Ala cents or
new all-time low.
Weakness at Liverpool and gen.
era liquidation with few buyers
were the chief factors. Firmness in
stocks was ignored. Corn showed
strength at the start and was high
er with oats and rye holding steady.
Canada Keeps Lead
At the opening wheat was un-
changed to y cent lower, corn was
unchanged to Il cent higher, oats
unchanged to Is cent lower and rye
was unchanged. Provisions were
about steady.
Liverpool reflected the sharp
break here Tuesday and was q to
q cent lower in American money
at mid-afternoon, with sterling
higher. According to trade gossip,
the withdrawal of support at Win
nipeg Tuesday resulting in the
sharp break here was due to the
desire of Canada to keep wheat in
line for export business.
The steady decline lately at Chi
cago had placed American wheat in
an advantageous position for for
eign buyers and Canada was
thought not to be willing to relin-
quish its place as leader in the ex-
port trade, at least until the south
ern hemisphere crop begins to move
some weeks from now.
Cash House Buying
Shipping sales were reported for
100000 bushels of corn Tuesday, in
GLIDING 100000 bushels to exports
with charters made for $4,000
bushels, of which 10000 bushels
we're headed for Montreal. Cash
houses were good buyers of futures
on the way down, as they have
been recently, removing hedges
against this heavy movement. Flu
lures, however, moved with wheat.
The action of other grains con-
tinues to be the dominating inf1u-
ence in oats and rye, although De-
cember oats failed to make a new
low level Tuesday. Values never
theless' are lowering around all
time lows.

top of 1855 Receipts we're esti-
mated at 1000; holdovers were 465.
Not much was done in the cattle
market with the steer trade UNI
developed. Cows were little changed
with heifers strong to higher. Re-
ceipts were $500. Vealers were
steady at $3.50 down. Calf re-
'eeipts numbered 300.
Lambs held slow and steady,
selling for the most part at $3.50
down. Mornings top price was
$5,75. Receipts we're 1900.
Early bids on hogs at Chicago
were mostly steady to strong, with
asking around cents to 10 cents
higher than Tuesdays average. The
bulk of good to choice porkers
weighing from 100 to ESQ pounds
was bid in at $3.50 Receipts were
estimated at 1900, including 5000
direct; holdovers, 5000. Cattle re-
ceipts numbered II ,O0O calves, 1000;

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-Declara-

However, the rise did not hold

Steel Operations Down
The declaration of the regular
preferred dividend by the United
states Steel Corporation was
varlously received in Wall Street.
Some observers interpreted it bull
lShly; several were diSpleased over
the fact the directors refused to
comment.
The huge deficit of the corpora
tlon in the first nine months-S73.
457 ,168-in some quarters was con-
sldered as a bearish offset to the
dividend declaration. Other steel
companies reported heavy losses.
The Iron Age today found the
rate OF steel operations off y point
at 10 per cent for the country
