PRODUCTION

NEW YORK, April 18 U.N.S).
Steel ingot output has risen to So
per cent of capacity, the highest
rate since mid-August, 1888, as
compared with the 492 per cent
rate of last week, the Iron Age
summary points out today. Oper-
ationS are up four points to 81
per cent at Chicago, three points
to 40 per cent at Pittsburgh, three
points to SO per cent in the val
leys, two points to go per cent at
Cleveland, five points to So per
cent at Buffalo, and two points to
10 per cent in the Wheeling dis
trict. The Detroit rate continues
at 100 per cent, the average for
the Philadelphia territory at 40
per cent and that for the South
at 81 per cent.
Outlook Favorable
The outlook for the industry is
regarded as most favorable, with
iron and steel makers heavily
booked for the second quarter and
with higher prices about to go into
effect on most products. Some
mills have such heavy commit
ments that they will be pressed to
turn out the tonnage if buyers
specify fully against their con-
tracts. To prevent an accumula-
ton of releases toward the end of
the quarter, number Of pro-
ducers are already pressing their
customers for shipping instruc-
tionS.
The anxiety of the mills to OBJ
tain releases is matched by the
desire of most buyers to build up
maximum stocks of materials at
pre-advance prices. Without doubt
much of the pig iron and steel
that will be made in the next three
months will supply buyers needs
part way through the third quar-
ter, barring a further acceleration
of industrial activity.
The increase in business coming
from regular contract sources has
been augmented by heavier re-
leases from the railroads. Orders
for car material are growing in
number and tonnage, and pur-
chases of track material have been
large. Rail contracts placed in
the final week before the expira-
ton of the code provision permit
ting deliveries until August 81
called for a total of 1920 tons.
Price Advances Slow
Price advances are slow in tax
ing effect. Under the code a price
at a given basing point is consid-
cred effective until it is with
drawn. Since various producers
have delayed following the lead
of mills that first announced ad-
vances, the effective dates for the
price changes have been moved
ahead, in some instances until
next week.
The latest price advances to be
announced are on pipe and billet
steel reinforcing bars. Discounts
on standard and line pipe have
been reduced 31a points, or the
equivalent of an advance of about
ST a ton. Oil well goods have
been marked up Sc to 81 a ton.
The rise in billet steel reinforcing
bars is SO a ton. Alloy steel bars
have been marked up So a ton,
instead of 81 a ton as originally
announced.
Pending the going into effect
of recent advances, the Iron
Age composite prices for pig iron
and steel remain unchanged at
$500 a gross ton and 2.028 cents
a pound, respectively. The scrap
composite also is unaltered at
$12.58 a ton.

IN OBERT EMMETT SHER-
- WOODS Road to Rome, &"
N greatest comedy success in
L y the Jane Cowl career, will be
this weeks attraction of the
National Players, opening tomorrow
night
There was a significant and wise
shaking of certain heads when this
comedy was first produced, for it was
bold and daring and deemed bit de-
f1ant of many of the theater's con-
ventions. Nevertheless, it proved to
be exactly the type of entertainment
for which Broadway Is most willing
to make the speculator sacrifice and
pay double fees 1t enjoyed 159 per-
formances at the Playhouse before
prosperous seasons.
While it is a quaSi-historical ro-
nance, its humor and its rib-tickling
situations are thoroughly up-to-date.
Beneath its flowing robes and Roman
backgrounds are luSty laughs and in
sinuating fun, risque sometimes, but
always smart, sometimes subtle, gen.
orally full of meaning.
The story is of Hannibal and why
he turned back at the very gates Of
Rome on his triumphant tour aimed
to conquer the world The lovely
Amytis, wife of FabiuS Amaximus,
came to his tent to plead for her own
life and the safety of Rome. Before
she leaves Hannibal IS sufficiently i'm
pressed to order his armies to with
hold attack and he spares his en-
emies. Why did he do it? Mr.. Sher-
woods guess is that he had reason
particularly his own, and this guess
serves as the motivating inspiration
of this comedy.
Road to Rome" offers abundant
opportunity for the players leads,
Miss Ruth Abbott and Roy Roberts.
Miss Abbott will be seen as Amytis
in role that is rich in racy lines
and clever innuendo. Roy Roberts
will be seen as the young conqueror
Hannibal, who was able to impose his
will on nations and armies but found
Cupid too alert a foe.
There are fine roles for an aug
mented supporting cast and Romaine
Calender, Freddy Sherman, Kathryn
Givney, Raymond Bramley. Mary
Loane Mrs. Adelaide Hibbard, Burke
Clarke, Francis Fraunie and the other
regulars will be fitted congenially to
the Roman scenes.

Shakespeare and
Reno Play.

THREE HUNDRED AND EIGHT
ZEN years after his death be-
side the gentle Avon. William
L Shakespeare is still an inspira-
ton to playwrights, even to
those who write for that dramatic
medium of which he never dreamed
the screen. The latest instance of
the influence of "our undying poet"
is to be found in the title of the new
comedy picture, Merry Wives Of
Reno"
Inspired by Shakespeare" re-
peated Robert Lord, Warner Bros.
studio supervisor and author of the
script, when questioned as to the con-
nection between Reno and Windsor
and the jovial ladies thereof. We'll,
I wouldn't dare lay claim to inspira-
tion, but the fact remains that one
thing does suggest another, and when
first thought Of the story of Merry
Wives of Reno I did have in mind
just such a rough-and tumble farce
comedy as The Merry Wives of Wind
sor.'
mo, the plot of our picture bears
no special resemblance to that of
the Shakespeare comedy, but I really
believe the tempo, the atmosphere,
has a certain kinship. Nobody is
carried away from a gallant rendez-
vous, like Falstaff, in clothes basket,
but there are a number of incidents
in more or less the same vein. And,
by the way, Guy Kibbee would make
a pretty good Falstaff, don't you
Think"
Besides Mr.. Kibbee the cast of
Merry Wives Of Reno" includes Mar
garet Lindsey, Donald Woods, Glenda
Farrell, Roscoe Ates, Hugh Herbert,
Frank McHugh, Ruth Donnelly and
Hobart Cavanaugh. OF these players
the last four and Mr.. Kibbee were
seen together not many months ago
in another comedy film, Convention
City," which achieved such popular
favor that the quintet were as
sembled once more for the new ven
ture.
Reno" said Mr.. Lord, has never
before been utilized thoroughly as
comedy locale for the movies, which
is rather surprising. because it offers
gorgeous material. Shakespeare would
have loved it.
And I wish" added the author
modestly. that we could have had
him do the script"

that when the missionary gets down
on his knees and hopes to be saved
from the hey-hey blinkings of the

probably be lost in uproarious humor.

intellectual" stimulus-not SO much
on the screen probably as on the
stage. Still, the sort of story that
fits in with the dialogue and is either
amusing or at least halfway believ-
able.
p EALISM and satire have come to
stay. The plays on Broadway
that have prospered most this season
have been the "Dodsworths" and THE
Shining Hours" or even 1.-The Mary
of Scotlands," which are based on fact
and not on fancy. One of the reasons
why Men in White" did so we'll is
because most every one at some time
in his life has entered a hospital,
either on account of a scratch or
pneumonia, and knows something
about them. Emotions that are reg
istered by the Dodsworths, the Britans
or the doctors are more familiar to
us than the chortlings of a Tarzan
and his water-d drinking companions
of in ape-land. The average audi
ence nowadays prefers to dream about
its backyard rather than about flc-
tional regions.
Thus the wheel turns-romanticiSm
one Gay, realism the next. A few
years ago, Graustark and the ZOO.
Today. Broadway. Hollywood and
people who aren't in the ZOO. There's
reason in them both. Personally,
however, we think the decline of
Tarzan is little too bad.
