Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 1.-THE
history of most stock market move
ments Is that they follow either an up
or down trend for a certain length of
time until sentiment runs SO pre-
dominantly in one direction or the
other that an abrupt change occurs
Just when 1t is least expected.
This has been true of the latest stage
of the markets course. For two months
it had been rising with only an oc-
casional reaction. until the feeling be-
gan to permeate speculative quarters
that its permanent direction was up
ward. Then suddenly it took an op-
posite course and in less than week
popular stocks are found to be from
20 to nearly so per cent below recent
quotations.
The chronology of the market in the
past three years records a large num-
Der of prolonged movements in prices
in a single direction. The first phase
of the liquidating period was that be-
tween September and November. 1929,
when stocks had their first violent
break. The next significant trend was
that between February and April, 1880,
when the rise continued long enough
to convince many investors that the
worst of the depression was over and
that stocks generally were cheap on
the basis of their average level the
year previous.
Trend Changed Suddenly.
This theory was exploded in the
September November break and in sub
sequent periods of from two to three
months the market droped for so long
a time that investors became convinced
that what they owned had little value.
The last phase of this movement was
that between March and June this
year. when owners of securities as a
class were inclined to give up the ghost
and to charge off as worthless many
of the common stocks and junior bonds
that were in their portfolios.
At about this time. when every one
market unexpectedly began to strength
en- and soon entered what is recognized
as the most remarkable comeback 1t
has ever staged. For two months
stocks went up Those who had believed
them to be of no account were hypno-
tized by what they witnessed from day
to day in Wall Street, until they were
willing to buy any old thing at any
price. Again the scene has quickly
shifted when least anticipated and those
who were gullible enough to listen to
the pool manipulators and the stock
riggerS have on their hands securities
that are worth today from one-Quarter
to one-half the market valuation of
week ago.
The first phase of the recent bull
market was a legitimate response to
definite improvement in political and
economic conditions here and abroad
and to the gradual moulding Of a dif-
ferent sentiment in business circles. 1t
was participated in by many who knew
values and realized that there were
then available to them some OF the
greatest bargains of a lifetime in secur-
tiles. AS always happens, speculative
operators took advantage of situation
of this sort and used it to create pro1lts
for themselves.
When the market gradually passed
from one in which there was uniform
movement in prices and when practi-

are sufficient in themselves to pro-
vide highly appreciated entertain
ment.
A woman whose husband is about
to depart for the Olympic games
arrangeS for an outing with an ad-
mirer, but the husband returns after
starting, and there is created the
necessity for some deception, in
which Messrs. Young and Ruggles
are obliged to engage in farcical at
tempts to remove the suspicious of
the husband. 1t becomes advisable
for Mr. Young to be provided with
a fictitious wife, and as the woman
originally engaged is unable to keep
the engagement, Miss Damita Is
drafted Tor the role. Though a per-
son of unaSSailable character she
is under the necessity of appearing
different from her own established
character. The farce that is enacted
has some new and original elements,
while the atmosphere of the whole is
is amusingly artificial. The final de-
velopment is an unexpected marriage
brought about by the test to which
Miss Damita has been subjected.
The play has no serious features,
and depends upon the humor of the
situations for its impression.
The Columbia also offers an anus
ing comedy by Laurel and Hardy,

New Montgomery Film
And Street Singer" at Palace.

r ROBERT MONTGOMERY, who
has suffered of late by being
billed as Kiss s-em-quick Montgom-
ery," is nevertheless a more than
capable actor, who when free from
whimSy is definite asset to any
film. Although he has a pretty rough
time putting much life into his new
at the Palace, which, as played on
the stage by Billie Burke and Ivor
Novello, was known as The Truth
Game" he succeeds in being lik-
able when he acts like a normal
and sensible young man-which he
isn't most of the time.
He is helped in this by a charming
young lady called Nora Gregor,
whose beauty, while marred now and
then by unfortunate camera work,
is something to think about. She
is the poor little girl, Rosine.
who yearns for rich husband, and
Montgomery is the poor little boy
who pines for a rich wife They
both play a kind of hide-and-seek
all the way through the film.
Legions of Montgomery worship
ers yesterday seemed to find the
film extremely diverting. But in es-
sence it must be admitted that it
isn't so very good. Beyond provid-
ing an opportunity for that grand
old actor, Frederick Kerr, to give
one of his excellent character bits,
and for Montgomery to climb bal
comics and say to Miss Gregor over
and over again Il adore you" its
theme is a synthetic bit of Ions
dale or Coward, and its dialogue
neither abnormally bright nor even
subnormally clever. Ladies, however,
who like to watch Mr.. Montgomery
will probably go mildly goofy over
the way he handles the fair sex,
and they may, too, ket kick out
of watching two young people out to
marry for money come down to dear
old mother loVe-without a penny

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, April 23.-Alfred E
Smith makes a direct appeal for prefer
ential votes in the Pennsylvania pri-
mary of next Tuesday in a letter re-
ceived yesterday by Thomas A. Logue,
chairman Of the Democratic City Com
mittee
Il hope that the voters in the Penn
sylvania primary will express their
preference" the 1923 standard bearer
wrote, "and I will, of course, be graft
fed if I again receive the expression
Of their confidence which they so fully
accorded me in 1928"
Logue described it as the most direct
bid for the 1892 presidential nomina-
ton Smith has made so far

The letter was made public as James
A. Farley, Democratic State chairman
of New York arrived to confer with
supporters of Gov. Franklin D. Roose-
velt Smiths letter follows:
Dear Mr.. Logue: In accordance with
our recent conversation, hope that you
will make clear to my friends in Phila-
delphia without any misunderstanding
that I am ready to do whatever the
Democratic National Convention asks of

provide the dramatic interest of the
piece.
Behind the youthful performer is
an excellent cast, with acting which
imparts distinction to the story.
While there is a genuine study Of
the boys hope for success, there is
a clear-cut development of the plot,
in which he is impelled to commit
crime through dictates of the heart
for others who are in need. The
cast is headed by Spencer Tracy,
Doris Kenyon and Ralph Bellamy,
who succeed in making real the
personalities of a man and woman
who rescue the boy from fatal degra-
dation, and the strong judge of the
juvenile court. 1t is also to be noted
that Beryl Mercer, who has been
seen in numerous character roles in
popular films, reaches in Young
America" high place in the emo
tional realm.

The Heart of New York"
At the Metronolitan.

THE Heart of New York"
At the Metropolitan.
A NINA APPEL the actress who Is
- so particularly effective In
Symphony of Six Million" may be
seen down the block on F street
again in a new film at the Metro
politan entitled THE Heart of New
York" Miss Appel is planted, too,
in much the same surroundings as
she was in the Fannie Hurst classic.
She is Hebraic mother who gradu-
ateS from poverty to riches. And
while she does this more gracefully
in Miss Hursts story, she seems as
natural and as sincere in her acting
capabilities in the heart" of New
York as she was in the illuStrious
Ghetto.
This film, which was once known
as "Mendel, Inc" on the stage, is
presumably not as effective in the
celiuloid medium as it was behind
footlights. Nevertheless, while it may
not appeal to those who do not like
long speeches and little action, 1t is
essentially healthy chronicle, with
a slight moral thrown in. which has
some splendid acting by an all
Hebraic cast.
Chief among the acting luminaries
is George Sidney as the harassed
Mendel. Mr. Mendel is kindly soul,
stirred by the ambitions of an in
ventor, who is so downtrodden in his
family that he is forced to wash the
dishes and cook the meals until he
has suddenly blossomed into fame
as the inventor of a magnificent
dishwashing machine At this point,
when the ugly duckling is changed
into gold and riches, and when all
is about to be right with the world,
his greedy family leaves him to take
up its quarters on Riverside Drive,
while he buys the house which he
has always lived in and changes it
into a splendid palace. Finally, of
course. the family is reunited and all
is well again.
Possessing many Of the qualities
of Symphony of Six Million" ad-
mirable in some of its sequences, it
is yet perhaps too long-winded to be
quite as convincing as it should be.
Mr.. Sidney, however, Miss Appel and
Joe Smith and Charles Dale are well
worth seeing. E. de S. M.

notes. He should be congratulated
not only for the ease and the quail
ity of his voice, but for the way in
