Brokers' Comment

NEW YORK, February 11.-Many
brokers' today commented favorably on
the action OF rail shares, believing that
any turn for the better would find i'm
mediate response in this group.
Jackson Bros, BoeSel g. Co.-Per-
sistent demand which has been appear
ing for railroad securities is a develop
ment which, in our opinion, will lend
itself to favorable Interpretation.
Hamershlag, Borg g. Cove feel
that holders of securities whose imme-
diate outlook Is dubious would be justi-
fed in switching to issues in the rail-
road group.
Hornblower & Weeks-The fact that
the rails as group alone, have been
able to register gains even though frac-
tional in extent, would seem to denote
the presence of important accumulation
in this department.
Clark, Childs & Keech-It is not too
much to believe that under the leader
ship OF the rails, the market can stage
a very important advance from present
levels.
Shields & Co.-Further irregularity Is
to be looked for as a result of pre-holi-
day influences.
Redmond & Cot may take a few
more days to determine whether the
recent advance represented a technical
recovery or the beginning of a Spring
rally.

BY JOHN L. COOLEY.
Associated Press Financial writer.


NEW YORK, February 11.-Utility
stocks were the center of activity in
today's curb market. Issues of this de-
scription found narrowly lower levels
under dribble of selling in Electric
Bond & Share, which sagged below 16
for fractional loss.
Trading was at low ebb and a
number CT operators remained away
from the exchange, extending their
weekend holiday. The market will be
closed on Monday.
Offerings Of Electric Bond & Share
may have been prompted by uncer-
tainty in some quarters as to preferred
dividend prospects of some of that
company's subsidiary or client cor
porstions. Cities Service, American
Superpower and American Gas re-
treated slowly, but showed nominal net
declines
Oils tended to firm, though the
group was dull. Standard of Indiana
got above 81, while Gulf added moder-
ately to recent gains.
A few gold mining shares met
profit-takng. Pioneer, which traded
In heavy volume yesterday, was down
shade. Other specialties stagnated.

The Birth of.
 Thomas Moore
Fittingly Observed at the Hotel Elton Last
 Night

The observance of the birth of Thomas Moore, the famous Irish poet, at the Hotel Elton last night, under auspices of the Ladies Aux Hilary. A. O. H., Div 5, was great social success. The program as an- nounced herein Saturday was car ried out in a most satisfactory man. ner. the audience being loud in praise of those who made up the program.
 The musical numbers were well rendered and Miss Lord gave the audience an interesting and in- structive talk on the life of Thomas Moore. In addition to the members of the auxiliary and those who made up the program there were several persons from out of town. including Miss Eileen Mulligan, of New Haven, past state president of the organizations: Miss Rita Cooney of shelton, president; Mrs Michael Manion of Derby, a county officer; John Reilly of Meriden, state secretary of mems order and Peter Griffin of this city. state treasurer. Quite a few citizens not affiliated with the organization were in attendance. so that probably it was the most notable observance of Moore's anniversary held in Wa terbury for many years past.

Vaudeville for Garden Announced

One of the sure signs of the gen. eral improvement in business con- ditions throughout the country is the announcement of Manager Halliwell of the Garden theater that vaudeville will be presented on the stage every Sunday, Mon- day and Tuesday of each week in- stead of only as Sundays as for merly. The uniform excellence of these New York booked shows has been drawing heavy patronage 10 the Garden theater, compelling pa irons to stand at practically all
 performances. The management of the theater feels that the public of Waterbury wants to see flesh on its stage and that one day a week is not sufficient to supply that need. The policy of playing vaude- vile plus two screen features for three days a week will be con- tinued as long as the public contin- ues to show it's approval of these shows.
 | The bill on view to-day and to- m orrow is the same one that caused audiences to talk about its merits yesterday. Opening the show is Sandy Ackland, a real Scotchman who really wears kits and delights the audiences with his droll stories and by his playing of the Scottish national instrument. the bagpipes. Following the Scot are Keaton and Paige, a clever young couple from one of Broad ways musical comedies. Miss Paige is the Miss Albany of last seaon's beauty contests and her blonde loveliness is sight for sore eyes. They offer an act of clever comedy wiecrack and laughable songs. Something sensationally out of the ordinary is presented by the closing act, Ed and May Ernie. They bill themselves as three feet of rhythm, which turns out to be young lady with two lovely little feet and a gentleman with one foot and a crutch which he uses as ex- pertly as any normal male. They present a strenuous dancing turn and Ed Ernie shows his audience how to tap dance, dance up and down stairs, dance with a young lady on a ball room floor, all with the use of only one leg. Rather than a grotesque spectacle, the act is delight to behold and is an ob- ject lesson to all those who know that mind can always overcome matter or any material handicap. The feature pictures are "Out All Night" with Slim Summerville and Zasu Pitts and No Living Witness" with Barbara Kent, Gill bert Roland, Carmel Myers, and Noah Berey, all at "Our Live and Let Live Prices"
