FINANCE WORST
FILM HURDLE

Solution of the motion-picture
industry's grave financial prob.
lens, arising principally from
the prodigious burden of debt
assumed as a consequence of
the spectacular expansion pro.
grams undertaken at the peak
Of the 1928-29 initiation period
remains as the major need of
the industry at this time, says
the Standard Statistics Com
pany, of New York, in a current
survey Of the industry, which
adds:
I'm general the remedial
measures thus far adopted
have proved wholly inadequate
to bridge the increasing dis
parity between revenues and
expenditures. Theater atten-
dance throughout the nation
at present is estimated at q
level between so per cent and
IS per cent Of the 1929-19SO
peak.
General overhead costs,
however. have been reduced by
q considerably smaller margin
and fixed charges, either in
the form Of COntracturaI fund.
ed or repurchase obligations,
remain, except for alterations
in the form Of the debt, prac-
tically unchanged"
Studio costs have been pared
substantially during the current
year, by reducing salaries of
stars and executives and by
eliminating extravagant sets, so
it now is practicable to pro-
duce successful feature films
for as low as 100000 or $780,.
600, as compared with about
twice that figure a few years
ago, the survey concludes.

RAILS LEADERS
IN BOND LIST
ADVANCE
BY MUNROE ROBERTS

NEW YORK, Oct. % QN.S0 d.
A continuation Of the advance
in rail obligations was the fea-
ture of today's bond market ses-
sion, with strength in this Sec
ton of the list stimulating de-
mand elsewhere in the market.
Leaders in Upturn
Among the leaders in the fur
ther upturn of the carriers were
the Baltimore and Ohio 41as of
'33, which rose 11a points to 6012;
New York Central 41as new, up
Il at 4612; Southern Railway
61zs, up 1 at 331a; New York
Central 31zs, up u at 74s4;
Katy adjustment SIS, up "a at
3724; Chicago Northwestern 434s,
up u at 1914; Baltimore and
Ohio 41as of go up 5s at 80, and
Rock Island convertible 41as up
u at 1917.
The U. S. Government list
maintained a generally steady
tone, with Treasury S1ss work
ing up 3,32 to 98.1; Treasury
33ss of '43 unchanged at 10O.22,
and Liberty Fourth 44S un-
change at 103.12. Treasury 4As
slipped 2-32 to 106.34.
Foreign Group Holds
The foreign government group
held narrowly with the German
IS up 1s at 697s; the 1nterna-
tional 512s, off "a at so; Bel
gium Is off "a at 102A; Aus.
tralian IS off '55, unchanged at
1874, and Tokyo Electric IS, un-
changed at 3634.

In Disguise

Maj. Ronald Dawson, late Of
His Majesty'S London Scottish
and director of the Northern
Dramatic Company, a VOL at
traction, is nothing if not tenn
peramental.
If the doughty major Is sched-
uled to act the part of Jewish
wagon-vender, he goes to the New
York Ghetto to soak up atmos-
phere.
If he enacts a detective, you
may be sure to find him in the
vicinity of police headquarters.
Now he is going to essay the
role of Captain Gill, a hard
bitten Army officer, in a VOL
Armistic night program. So Daw-
son promptly starts out to grow
a mustache-not one of those
anemic hair-lines which adorn
the upper lips of orchestra
leaders and-Sometimes, alas!-
radio columnists. His is going to
be a devil-may-care, SwaShbuck-
ling, coffee-soaking cavalry mus
tache. Well-mebbe so!

NEW YORK, Oct. % G.NSO.
The curb market again made
determined efforts to penetrate
recent resistance levels on the
upside in another quiet session
today.
Again lack of follow-through
buying demand prevented lead
ding stocks from recording more
than moderate gains in the
course Of the day.
Traders Still Wary
Traders were still awaiting
signs of aggressive bullish spon-
Sorship before making any fur
ther commitments on the long
side., while professionals usually
favoring the bear side were not
disposed to sell the market with
turnover as restricted as it has
been of late.
Leading utility favorites were
