IL u forecasts
that the industry would run at a
lower level next week. U. S. Steel
fell point to a new low on the
current decline, and the other
steel shares were under pressure.
Liquors Forced Lower
Liquor and merchandising
shares bucked the trend for a
while but their strength was
curbed by the weakness in the
rest of the list. Schenley led the
liquors again, and was up more
than a point to a new high for
the year in the early dealings.
Motors Unsettled
Motor shares were unsettled by
the uncertainty over the strike
status. The hitch in the Wash
ington wage negotiations held the
rails down. Oils were sluggish
and utilities lower. Aviation
shares lost their recent buoyancy.
Mining shares were higher at
times. Homestake was a feature,
jumping 10 points to new record
high. A furry in Armour pre-
ferred lifted the packing shares.
Trading was quiet though VOL
ume picked up on the decline.
Commodities were mixed and
bonds irregular. The dollar was
quiet.

Jane CowI St ars
In Lawrence PIav
BY Feg Murray

Nearly every season Jane Cowl
comes to Washington in a new
play. This time it is in Sweet
Bells tangled" by Reginald Law
renee, in which the producing
firm of Seldom Bennett and
Shepard Traube will present the
distinguished actress at the Ma
tional Theater on Monday eve
ming, March 10.
Very few stars of the stage have
brought as many successful plays
to their audiences as has Miss
Cowl, who, from the days of
within the Law" "Smilin'
Through" and her other early sue
ceSses, has maintained a consistent
devotion to the legitimate theater.
Among the classics she has given
memorable performances in "Ro-
meo and Juliet" "Pelleas and
Melisande," Twelfth Night" and
Camille" while her non-classical
list includes Lilac Time" "The
Road to Rome" Jenny" "The
jealous Moon" and a number OF
other plays of charm and distinc-
tion. With no excursions afield,
her interest has been concentrated
in good theater since she was a
small child.
Jane Cowl, who by the way,
was a star before she was twenty,
never had any idea of doing any.
thing except going on the stage.
Her first conscious memory Of it
comes from about the time when
she was five years old, but she
must have had something Of the
sort in mind the year before that
when she gave an impromptu
performance on a Fall River boat
that cheered the passengers and
startled her very reticent and
quiet mother.

Shuberts have found a worthy
successor in 'Annina' to their
memorable Blossom Time and

1T Is the sort Of musical show
which should go a long way
toward reawakening a widespread
interest in popular operettas. The
star was in magnificent voice
and her supporting cast is ex-
cellent. The choice Of Allan Jones
for her leading man was a fine
bit of casting. This young tenor
is fulfilling the great promise
he showed in Noel Coward's
Bitter Sweet

Tribute From Tumulty

Some time ago a committee ad-
vised this department that a
worthy cause for a willing
crusader would be championing
a real Washington tribute to
George H. O'Connor and Maui
Horn, those local minStrels who
have brought joy to so many
social gatherings.
The mere suggestion brought
this spontaneous expression from
Barrister Joseph P. Tumulty'
which am glad to pass along to
those eager readers who look 1or
well-expre essed and klnoly
thoughts:
Dear Andrew:
AS usual you are ready to give
your support to q fine thing.
The suggested dinner to Wash
ington's favOrite sons, George
O'ConnOr and Matt Horn,
strikes a responsive chord In
INV own heart. Washington has
great figures, statesmen, high
officials, diplomats, lovely
women and a grand aggrega-
tion of humble folks. High OF"
ficials come and 60, making
their entrances and exits, some
Rrandly, others laughingly. but
George O'COnnOr and Matt
Horn are perennially with us,
S constant source Of JOY ana
happiness to men. women and
children Of all classes. In my
opinion Washington does not
contain anything finer than
these two men.
While it is true that they
have no sword dangling at
their knees" their world has
NO narrow walls. For over .
generation George D. O'COnnor
and Matt Horn have won their
way into our hearts and affec-
fions with song and story. lift

during the dark days Of the
war and relieving much Of our

Presidents have been lifted out

whose talent lies high intelh-
renee and lofty human pur-
poses.
