Civic T'heater Needs Good COngressmen for Both
 Your Houses"

The hum of activity is quite keen these days around the Civic Thea Ire inagmuch as work has com menced on tho new production now in the throe1 of rehearsal. It is none other than tho most dis cussed play of last season, "Both Your Houses." by Maxwell Ander- son whose 1884 contribution to Broadway is nono other than Mary of Scotland" starring Helen Hayes. Helen Mcnken and Philip Mcrivalc.
 "Both Your Houses" was award cd tho Pulitzer prize which will give the lovers of what is really worth while in tho theatre a good idea of what is in store for them when the play is produced on Feb. 9th and 9th, tentative dates at present.
 Local actors in the class of Guy Kibbc or Walter Kelly, the Vir- in touch with Alan Wallace for tho star part of Solomon Fitzmaurics which is still open. MT Wallace be- ing q stickler for correct casting is still looking for the right man. Several have been under considern- ton. including William Shannahan,
 Dr Moriarty and Atty. Cassidy. each of whom would fill the bill
 10 perfection but to dat cthe part
 is still open.
 "Both Your Houses" will re- quirc one of tho largest casts used as yet in any Little Theatre or Civic Theatre production. It is what ono would term a real mans play and will comprise thirteen male and three female characters. If any local thcspians feel they look like q congressman and can put over some very good lines,
 there is m opportunity for nt least three. See MT Wallace at once and if you can convince him you will get q part.
 "Both Your Houses" promises 10 be Il thriller on par with the prc- vious fine productions that have Rraccd tho boards 0t both the old
 Jacques theatre and tho Womcn's club.
 Those cast already who have previously appeared in productions
 here include such fnyorites as
 Mollie Cullen, Mrs II. J. Stett-
 bachcr. Marion Jones, Joseph Null cahy, Gerard Harrington. Norman

STOCK MARKET
BILL IS PASSED
Control Measure Approved,
Awaits Signature of
Roosevelt.
By United Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, June 2.-The
battle of the stock market control
bill, expected to go down in legis-
lative history as one of the %Stiffest
of recent years, was over today but
for the Presidents signature on the
act.
The measure, a keystone in Presi-
dent R~ooSevelt's arch of new deal
legislation, finally was approved by
both house and senate yesterday
with only a few final words of
discussion.
The chief executive will find the
bill on his desk when he returns to
Washington Monday. Taking effect
July l, it brings for the first time
the nations securities exchanges
under strict federal control.
1t represents the administrations
strongest effort to protect investors
against wild speculation and sharp
practices. A companion bill, the Sc
curities act, was passed last year
and certain notifications of it are
included in the new law. .
Hope of the trainers Of the act is
that it will end for all time such
orgies of speculation which led to
the ,debacle of 1929.
No other measure initiated under
President Roosevelt's regime has
been the subject of so much con-
t%roversy. The act has been revised
again and again to meet objections.
The central fight occurred over
administration of the act and the
requirements for trading on margin.
In final form the bill sets up a new
federal agency, a commission of
five members to handle the new
law. Margins are required to be at
least As per cent cash, but may be
changed at the order of the COM
mission. Brokers' loans are to be
controlled by the federal reserve
board.
