STRAND

Highlighted by the inspired dancing of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, and also by the apparent capabilities of this man Astaire to play romantic symphonies on the hearts of feminine fans in a new and whimsical manner, RKO-Ra- dio's sumptuous musical comedy, '"The Gay Divorcee," which will be the star attraction at a big New Years eve party to be held at War
 It is, really and truly, one of the first musical comedies to is- sue from Hollywood boasting a genuinely complete and laughable romantic story-one so cmplicated- ly funny that it cannot be described in detail without detracting from its punch.
 It is one of those complex em- broglios that gives all disap- pointed lovers an opportunity to laugh at film lovers whose plight is far, far worse than their own.
 Miss Rogers, after falling in love with Astaire, a victim of his inimitable dancing, his songs and his whimsicalities. decides to get I'd of a current boy friend so that she can accept Astaire's inn petuous woing.
 She arranges ot hire "pro- fessional flirt," with whom to stage q false t'affair d'amour." She hopes this will make her in- cumbent boy friend so jealous that he will release her from her obligations. (
 Alack-and laugh and more laughs. Poor Astaire comes wan dering in under such circum- stances that Miss Rogers believes that he is the professional flirt. Rivaling the astonishing verve of Astaire's performance is the brilliant work of Miss Rogers, Alice Brady, Edward Everett Horton and Erik Rhodes.
 The companion feature will be the dramatic thunderbolt The Firebird' starring Verree Teasdale, Ricardo Crtez and a big supporting cast of Warner Brothers star per- formers. Make up a party and join in the big celebratoin at the popular Strand theater. Tickets, priced at 35 cents, are now on sale at the box office.

Uncertainty of Drafts in Buyers Minds Difficult
 to Overcome
By MICHAEL J. O'BRlEN (President, Chicago Stock
 Exchange

Chicago. (UP)-From the stand point of volume of transactions as we'll as prices of securities, 1884 has been a discouraging year for the stock exchange business. Vol ume on the Chicago Stock Ex- change for the year is the small est in a number of years. Prices have been declining since early in February until only recently.
 The lack of public interest in the security markets of the coun- try throughout the year has been caused by a number of factors one of which, without question, has been the passage by the congress of the Securities Exchange act of 1884. With the introduction of

 That's swell for the movies until some irate man writes to Warner Baxter saying that, if he had used different technique to woo Janet Gaynor, the writer would now be a happily married man; or some young girl follows Joan Blondell's lead of cooking lamb chops when it's pork chops her boy friend really prefers.

Patsy Kelly, Jean Sargent and Jimmy Grier and his orchestra. Benny's famous satire, Grind Hotel" is a high point of the pro- gram.
 The companion feature is "The Marines Are Coming!" William Haines is headed this way with his hard -fightin', hard-lovin' Heather neck" buddies in Mascot's greatest whirdwind drama "The Marines Are Coming!"
 Bill and his all-star supporting cast bring you the breeziest and thrilliest, freshest and fightiest m-bang romance of love and war ever woven about that grand old fighting unit, the U. s. marines. It's a film that will steal your breath and make your pulses pound. Love and laughter, war and women, vie with each other to hold you spellbound until the rap- id-fire plot reaches its final sur prising twist.

the so-called Fletcher Rayburn bills in the congress early in Feb ruary the investing and speculat- ing public began to fear the re- suits on the market of legislation of this type. The uncertainty which these first drafts created in the minds of the public has been difficult to overcome.
 From the brief experience we have had operating under the act and the rules and regulations pro mulgated by the securities ana exchange commission and the federal reserve board we are in clined to believe, at this time, that the security markets of the coun- try will continue to provide free and open markets for the benent of investors and spectators.
 A bright spot in our picture in Chicago is the fact that the amount of dividends paid share holders by corporations listed on our exchange has increased ap- proximately 22 per cent this year over last. This indicates decided improvement in the condition of the corporations listetd here.
