One Man Out of
 Six Can Feed US.
Dr Neifeld Discusses the Change in New Book
 of Finance

Transition from c situation when 90 per cent of the population waS engaged in agricultural pursuits to the present day situation when only 15 per cent, or less than ono man out of six, is needed to feed tho United States necessitates an ad- justment that dominates the credit problems of today, M. R. Neifeld, Ph. D., declares in his new book. "The Personal Finance Business" |" which brings together for the first time all of the important facts In tho personal finance field.
 "From % per cent to 5 per cent!" writes pr Neifeld. "There is one concrete difference between former and present cultures. In our own days the continuance Of the process shas had profound effects on our mode of life. Half q cen- tury ago, three quarters of tho population resided in rural com. munities; today less than half does. our interest lies in the credit problems that arise in the course of an adjustment from Q food getting dominated civilization to one in which the food -securing ac- tivities have been subOrdinated to q minor role; in credit problems that appear when an industrialized urban society displaces 6 rural one, and in the money needs that grow out of the waRo-earning problems of n common folk, who have gained m individual status in which their right to credit must be recognized
 Dr Noifeld is statistisian for the Beneficial Management corpora ton, New York city, which oper- ates, Buporviscs and audits the largest group of personal finance companies in the country. Tho book is therefore, written from the practical angle by ono engaged ac- lively in the business. The benefic- ial system is represented locally by Personal Finance company of Wa terbury. Albert A. MartinBon. man" nger. The book includes n selective coin pilation of material and refer- erfces from hundreds of sourccs--- United States government bureau, state commissions, chamber Of commerce, investigation commit tees. economic publications, etc.--- which are brought together In log icnl order and interpreted. "The personal finane business" however. is no mere digest. but is rich In original material and contains a vast amount of information made accessible to the author in his daily work. Among the many orig inal compilations is one, "Tho balance sheet of the American Family" which it is believed Will De q standard reference for years to come.

 Senator Brookhart, repn., To-. earlier in the debate said he would vote for free coinage but advocated abandonment of the gold basis in favor of currency backed by the national wealth.
 "I firmly believe" Brookhart said, "that we never will get pros- perty permanently so long as tho New York stock exchange is run us 1t now is. The exchange Is the greatest fraud. the greatest in- fiator, the world has ever seen"

Andrew R. Kelley man, who has
certain redeeming qualities a
faith in human nature is able to
bring to the surface.
Connors, played by Spencer
Tracy, makes this feature vital
and moving. He comes to OS-
sining with the reputation of be
ing a big shot in the underworld
and a feeling that he must eX-
hibit a tough veneer commenSu'
rate with his standing in the
realm of crime.
The routine life of Sing Sing
breaks Connors. When he finds
that he Is beyond the influence
of politics he gradually submits
to the confinement yoke. Indeed
he becomes SO amenable to square
treatment that the warden con-
sentS to parole him for "a hours
that he may visit his sweetheart,
seriously ill.
ConnorS gets in a peck of
trouble during his brief leave
but keeps his word and comes
back, though it means confront
ing the electric chair. Ironically
he goes to the death cell for a
murder Rf which ne is innocent,
Like ~'The Big House" and
''The Last Mile" this latest chap
ter on modern penology has its
CORY episodes with tear gas used
in this one to quell mutinous con-
victs. I would have liked the
warden of the picture much bet
ter had he smacked tough Mr..
Connors when he Was inclined
to be insufferably fresh. AS it
was, Actor Arthur Byron made
him a thoroughly noble prison
executive, almost too noble, it
seemed to me.
Tracy Is Good
Spencer Tracy is such a good
actor I like him in any role.
Here he is irritatingly impudent
as Convict Connors, sufficiently
tender and human in his love
scenes, and exceedingly able in
covertly disclosing the hard-boiled
prisoner has a heart and desire
to close his life on one decent
act. He is not quite as engaging
sa Wally Beery's Butch of the
big House." but that is the fault
of his author.
Bette Davis is improving as an
actress. She occasionally bites
off and hurries her speeches,
but projects her emotional scenes
for highly effective appeal. Louis
Calhern, Lyle Talbot, Grant
Mitchell and Warren Hymer give
impressive aid in the other i'm
portant roles.
On the supplementary program
is an Eddie Cantor short, "Get.
ting a Ticket" fairly funny, and
the latest issue of the news reel
completes the program.

Exciting Story Penned for Screen
By Warden Lewis E. Lawes
Marshall Stars in
Picture at
" The Fox

It seems not inexcusable to won
der what the master hand Of
Lubitsch could have done with
Evenings for Sale" but yet it
seems apt to mention that it is
one of those gay bits of frivoity,
dear to his heart, handled with a
touch almost equally as light if
not in such perfection of detail.
Any lack on that score is amply
covered in the performance Uf
Herbert Marshall, who lends his
charm and inherent urhanity to
this romantic comedy of postwar
Vienna.
A count of long and illustrious
line is captivated, on the eve Of
his contemplated suicide TO end
his impoverished existence, by a
lovely young maiden at a mas
querade ball. He thence becomes
gigolo in the establishment Of
his former butler and engaged to
the kindly and romantic widow
from America, who finds in him
her dreams of Vienna as garnered
from the film, THE Merry
Widow" She leaves him TO his
real love, however, when she is
apprised that she has become a
grandmother.
Mary Boland's comedy is thor
oughly her own brand, enhanced
by lines such as provided her in
this present role. Charles Ruggles
aids on the comedy side, with a
part not so richly endowed. Sari
Martha is a visual treat and
makes a lovely Lola in the ro,
nance with the count. 1t is a
well-chosen cast that Herbert
Marshall leads and, with the
surety of accepted dramatic abil-
ity, he tops them all.
The vaudeville entertainment Is
of unusual merit this week. The
Great Nicola returns with his
battling feats of magic, disappear
ing elephants and all. You will
have to do your own figuring on
this score, we gave it up years ago.
Britt Wood will probably start the
old argument as to whether har-
monica is music or not, but pro or
con he has grand act, well de-
serving of its reception. Lita
Grey Chaplin, poised and beauti-
fully gowned, lends a dramatic
touch to her songs, especially her
chant of the subway. Rector &
Doreen perform some astounding
feats while hanging from the cell
ing, the lady cavorting on props
held in the teeth of her partner
Gordon, Reed & King, nimble
hooters with added musical &C
complishments, provide a fast few
minutes of dance.
The Washington times., 1933-01-07

Handkerchiefs were out at
Loew's Palace Theater yesterday
for Nurse Catherine Barkley
(played by Helen Hayes, sue
cumbing to the perils of mother
hood, was passing out, while
Lieut.. Frederic Henry (played by
Gary Cooper, the other half OF a
great love, was torn with an over
powering grief.
It is this scene, tender and
touching, which will be talked
about in Paramount's Farewell
to Arms" a somewhat rambling
perturbation of Ernest Heming'
ways great novel. They have an
optional happy ending but it is
my guess the wise exhibitor will
take the sad finale. Audiences
like to cry.
Without familiarity with Hem
mingWay'S volume I can report
that the story which Hollywood
has produced has it's highly inter-
esting moments of love and war.
When it is dealing with romance
the narrative has grip and a solid
appeal. Taking up its shot and
shell background the sequences
are dull and routine, nor has any
marked aptness been shown in
weaving them into the flow of
incident. 1t may be that Musso-
lini's objections to showing the
Italian forces in chaotic retreat
have deprived these scenes of sig
nificant vitality.
The story of Farewell to Arms
is simple and elemental. It tells of
the meeting between Nurse Cooper
and the American youth, of their
speedy surrender to a mutual at
tachment. The vagaries of war
part the lovers and she goes to
Switzerland to have her baby.
Her husband, obSesSed with worry
over conditions, deserts the colorS
and finally reaches her in time to
be comfort before the supreme
tragedy arrives in their lives.
War is stripped of both its
glamor and glory. What does
this war mean to me any more" "
says Lieutenant Henry as he sheds
his uniform.
