BONDS IRREGULAR
IN LOWER MARKET
Junior Rail Group Registers
Losses-U. S. Government
List Advances.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special DlSpatch 10 Inc quar-.
NEW YORK, April 25.-There was
more irregularity in the movement OF
bond prices today than during the past
week This was in harmony with the
fluctuations in stocks and the disposi-
tion in both markets to consider the
outlook more carefully and to be less
Influenced by what may or may not
take place in connection with imitation
projects.
1t was significant that prices for
United States Government loans again
advanced and that the largest gains in
this group were in the discount issues.
In those spots of the market where
most activity has occurred recently,
mainly in the low-priced speculative
bonds, there were conflicting move
ments. Some of the rails that had been
advancing sharply sold off substantially.
Against this there were further gains In
} number of the second grade public
utilities, but also reactions in members
of this group. Industrial bonds were
likewise feverish.
Great Northern Is declined 1l2
points New York Central 4l2s were
off q point and the same loss occurred
souri, Pacific S. Smaller losses took
place in Baltimore & Ohio Allegheny
Corporation, Chicago g. Northwestern,
Erie & ST. Paul issues Union Pacific
first SIS rose a point while the first As
were Slightly lower. and Atchison Cen
eral As lost nearly a point. American
g. Foreign Power SIS, which crossed 40
yesterday, declined nearly points. In
ternational Telephone & Telegraph and
Postal Telegraph issues were soft.
whereas Western Union SIS and 6ias
made a further gain. Columbia Gas
& Electric SIS rose about points.
In the industrial list there were small
gains in the automobile and rubber and
tire issues and moderate strength in
those of the oil producing and refining
companies, in spite of a reaction in
oil stocks. United States Rubber 5s lost
11a points and Youngstown Sheet g.
Tube SIS nearly a point Warner Bros.
Pictures IS touched a new high price
for the year, which was nearly double
that of last Winter
The high-grade public utilities, such
as American Telephone & Telegraph
51as and SIS. rallied, with the former up
about points from the low of last
week. Consolidated Gas 5l2s sold above
101 compared with their recent low of
98i2 and the 4lss were close to 90.
They sold last week at about ST.
The feature of the foreign dollar
loan list was the strength in Danish,
, Dutch and Norwegian bonds and a
point rise in United Kingdom 51as, with
losses ranging from Ia. to 3 points in
French and Belgian government issues.
There was some shading of prices of the
low-grade South American loans.
In United States Treasury bonds
gains of Il to nearly Il occurred in the
3ls and per cent issues and slightly
less in the high-premium bonds. The
Liberty issues were slightly higher. In
dications are that the new 3-year 27s
per cent loan will be oversubscribed
mainly by the banks and insurance
companies.

Pierce Drama
Certainly No
Bedtin1eSt0ry
Little White Mice Is
Lively Travesty on
Noel Coward's Life.

Late last night Oscar Mouse scuddled
back to his straW-crammed nest away
from the crush Of people at Pierce Hall.
He broke in suddenly on Mother Mouse
contentedly munching her cheese.
They've found out" he squeaked.
Science has known all along we white
mice were like people, but E. &c S.
Melcher has written a play called
Little White Mice showing people are
like US"
Oscar was right The Pierce Hall
Players produced Mr.. Melcher's first
play last night-a deft and fast-mov-
ing comedy about group Of people
vacatlCning on Flamingo Island in the
Mediterranean trying to get away from
themselves. The dialogue was particu-
larly bright and full Of suspense-and
there were some lines that Oscar, if he
be a church mouse, must have found
pretty shocking.
Distinctly a satire on the excursion
ing life of Noel Coward, Little White
Mice possesses much of the verve of
the playwriting of its prototype, though,
unlike Mr.. CoWard's plays, the char
acters are types rather than individuals.
The play opens in the lobby of the
"
lyn Irish, playing Mrs. Crick. the
landlady, is awaiting her guests. a
motley group with rather hazy purposes.
There is Rosa stock investors wife
with a yen for painting. who believes
Whif of island air can squeeze her
soul into artistic shape. Maude Howell
Smith plays the part exceedingly well.
Howard L. Knight takes the part of
her husband. Alfred who has sense
enough to know the island can't change
his character.
Then there is Olga Helms playing
April, a girl seeking nature to get away
from sex; William Eodon in the role
of Ramon. dilettante opera singer,
trying to find his voice by singing to
the moon: Fritz Firey, excel!ently por-
traying Jennifer. an authoress, who
hopes to find the" man among the
island palms; and Edmund Evans as
Melville, a newspaper man. who figures
a jaunt to F,amingo will make him
forget a mean story he wrote.
Mr.. Melchcr plays an apparent luna
tic who finally batterS through the va
cationers' mouselike heads that they
can't escape themselves-even on an
island-and that their only artistic use
would be to furnish experimental mate
rial for playwright. He plays the part
well. If his trousers were more baggy
it would be easy to envison Noel Coward
in his stead Playing opposite him is
Rose Ellen Mattern as Tony, the land
lady's daughter, whose exact romantic
status would be hard to explain without
divulging the bang-up climax of Little
White Mice"-and suspense must be
maintained for those who expect to see
the play at its second performance to-
night.
Highly entertaining and distinctly re-
vealing the fo.bles of man in trying to
escape himself. it is cay to understand
why Oscar Mouse mumbled in his straw
pillow to Mother Mouse last night just
before he fell aslcep-"I hope we mice
never get like these peop'o." B. H.

"The kid has fooled us all"
they've written for the past
two days. "In fact, he looks
like the new miracle man Of
the league. His play hasn't
been affected by the added
responsibilities as manager of
the club, and best of all, he's
shown himself to be great
leader as well as a dependable

should be in the affirmative. He
is a great ball player. He is a
great leader Of men. And he has
been responsible for the present
position his team now holds as
