Bondage, New Fox
Drama, Reveals a
Powerful Story

Bondage" the new Fox film at the
Paramount Theatre tomorrow only,
tears down curtain that has long
concealed a hidden part of our lives.
Simply and effectively it unravels a
girls life and in the doing narrates
one Of the most striking dramatic por-
traits Of the motion picture season.
In this production depicting the
hardships experienced in a commun-
ity by group Of unmarried mothers,
Dorothy Jordan, in the role of the
unwed Judy Peters" comes Of dra-
matte age and gives a portrayal that
for sincerity ranks with the finest on
the silver screen. The tumultous ex-
periences OF girl against whom so
ciety has pitted itself with an un-
relenting conscience are those of hum
dreds Of similar cases that up until
Low have been prominent because of
their absence from our daily news and
discussions.
So delicately is this motif spun and
to such a climatic height does it rise
that for q moment one feels that life
itself has been translated literally on
the screen. Its types are so true and
finely drawn that for once the cinema
gives us documentary work rather
than an idyllic portrait.
The story is as simple or as COM
pick as life. The girl submits to the
knowing cosmopolite. Her degrada-
ton is a matter of time and finally
she wanders off into the fog of de-
spondency. She is redeemed by a
young doctor who watches her life
from the sidelines.

AT THE MOVIES
Rupert Hughes
Story Is Filmed

The old saying, Ito the victor be-
long the spoils," might be true in
most cases but not in the latest
World Wide picture, Breach OF
Promise" which comes to the Capt.
tol Theatre Thursday and Friday.
Chester Morris and Mae Clarke
who enact the stellar roles In this
dramatic version Of Rupert Hughes
story, "Obscurity," give an outstand-
ing example of the exception which
proves the rule in this case.
AS the young and handsome law
yer who saves a pretty girl from
drowning, one would naturally expect
the hero to win the maiden's heart
and hand. But nothing of the sort.
The girl turns around and not only
sues but collects the tidy sum OF
$4,000. Here again the proverb par
adoxicolly goes contrary to the rule.
The girl does not get any satisfac-
ton out of securing the fortune but
goes to Jail for collecting 1t.
Breach of Promise" is one dra-
matte picture whose denouement the
most picture wise" film fan will not
anticipate. Not until the final fade
out Is reached is the story settled.
Mae Clarke Is said to reach new
dramatic heights In a most difficult
character role and Chester Morris
adds one more superb characterize
ton to his long list Of screen hits.

SILVER DEVELOPS
COMP[EXPROB[EM
Monetary Controversy Con-
fused by Retaliation Plans
for White Metal.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,
Associated Press Financial Editor


NEW YORK, December 4 R.-
Monetary controversy reaches the COM
plex stage of wheels within wheels when
it goes from gold revaluation to silver
-evaluation.
While gold is being revalued by re-
ducing the gold content of the dollar.
thus making the dollar worth less. sill
yer advocates propose to make the sill
yer currencies worth more by increas-
ing the value of silver
1t is argued that by cutting the gold
content of the dollar. we help ourselves
by making the dollar worth less and
increasing the general price level of
goods. 1t also is argued that by in
creasing the value of silver, and in
consequence the silver currencies, we
would help the silver standard people,
such as the Chinese. by enabling them
to purchase more goods from the rest
of the world.
Purposes Different.
In other words, while a lower value
of our currency is good for us, a higher
value of their currency is good for
them. Silver advocates explain that
this is not inconsistent upon analysis,
that our currency was too high, their is
too low And. as a matter of fact. the
Chinese delegation to the Economic
Conference last Summer agreed that
stable and somewhat higher value for
silver would be desirable. since it would
help their country, comparatively un-
developed, to buy more of the goods of
the Occident which 1t cannot produce
for ITSELF
Chinese exports have experienced
something of boom as a result Of the
low value of their silver currency, max
ing their goods cheap in terms of gold
currencies of other nations. and some
Chinese commercial interests have OBJ
jected to an increase in the value of
their currency, so their governments S
espousal of higher currency has
stirred up controversy. just as our
Governments espousal of a lower cur
rency has.
Opposes Warburg Plan.
Senator Borah. in his criticism of
James P. Wa1burg's plan for a mod
ernized gold standard, objected that
it made no provision for silver, now
used by so much of the world as money.
Warburg, replying today, says frankly
that he does not know what level of
silver would be best for the Orient. but
he adds that clearly a fluctuating value
is not good for them, and urges adop-
ton of the silver program as outlined
by the American delegation at the
world conference. Warburg questions,
however, that doubling the price of
silver would double Chinese purchasing
power, saying the purchasing power
of the Chinese depends In the last
analysis upon the goods and services
that China can export"
The gold and silver programs differ
radically in that it is the gold cur
TrnVJ tnnt u R1ln6 1RAH67aI tn 6Na
content is being reduced. so it is worth
less But in the of silver cur
rency it is proposed to make silver
worth more, leaving the currency un-
changed, so that its purchasing mower
will increase along with the silver i'll
it or behind it.
