OF Thee I Sing" will bring its
original three stars and the big
company and chorus intact direct
from Broadway to the National
Theater for an engagement Of
one week beginning Sunday,
January 20.
For the past SIS weeks William
Gaxton has been delightlng New
York audiences with his rich
impersonation of John P. Win
tergreen, president of these
United States. Mr.. Gaxton is a
dyed-in.the-wool native son, hav-
ing been born in California,
whence he descended from the
original Spanish stock that first
settled the golden region. A
University Of California man, he
came up to the legitimate stage
through the vicissitudes of vau-
deville. His first Broadway ap-
pearance was with the second
Music Box Revue, and his first
big hit was in the title role OF
"A Connecticut Yankee"
Pretty Lois Moran, who plays
the First Lady in "Of Thee I
Sing" a part she created more
than a year ago, graduated from
motion pictures and has proved
delightful addition to the musi-
cal comedy stage. She halls from
Pittsburgh, studied art and dane
ing in Paris,
Victor Moore needs no intro
duction to the theater-goers. He
long ago established himself as
one of our leading comedians,
and in the role of the pathetic
but comic vice president in "Of
Thee I Sing" with a name no
one can remember, he has
crowned his long list of stage
accomplishments with a portrait
that will live long in the memory
of present-day play lovers. Victor
Moore was a standby in all the
George M. Cohan musical shows,
and who hasn't laughed at his
vaudeville classic called Change
! Your Act or Back to the Woods. 1"

FURNITURE PUZZLE
Industry Worried Over Meet
inq Retail Prices With Pro-
ductiOn Advances.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, october 26.-The prob
lem of maintaining retail prices in line
with Increased costs of production has
arisen to puzzle the furniture industry
In a survey of one branch OF the
business, the breakfast set division, it
has been found that total production
costs are close to 1929 levels. while
selling prices lag considerably behind
This study, made by the National As
s0clatlon OF Furniture Manufacturers
shows selling prices higher than six
months ago. but far below 1929 levels
LABOR costs IN some cases are about 1929
figures, with raw materials generally
near a par with 1929 costs, in some in
stances exceeding them.
Reversal Declared Needed.
Manufacturers who opened thei,
books for this analysis declare the up-
ward trend in costs must be reversed
or selling prices stepped up It is con-
ceded, however, that there are no i'm.
