SPECIAL ISSUES
AT NEW HIGHS;
DOLLAR SLUMPS
Main List Closes Irregular;
Silver Futures Drop
Sharply.
BY ELMER c. WALLER
United Press Financial FditoY

NEW YORK. April 21.-Stocks
fuctuated irregularly today as the
dollar sank to new low levels since
its official devaluation early in the
year
For a time the dollar was at
levels which would make profitable
export of gold to Europe. 1t rallied
quickly, however, and toward the
close Of the stock market it was
again above the gold shipping point.
Meanwhile there was considerable
uncertainty as to the government
position with regard to further gold
price advances. 1t was indicated
the administration was averse to a
change at this time and that it was
likewise against silver legislation.
Steel Stocks Firm
Silver futures dropped sharply.
Spot price was down Z cent at As
cents an ounce. Silver stocks
dropped. Gold mining issues rallied
early in the day with Homestake
reaching $50, up Is points. 1t lost
a third of the gain and other gold
issues dipped from their highs.
Commodities aside from silver
were steady to firm Wheat rose
more than cent and other grains
were fractionally higher. Cotton
futures eased a few points. Rubber
futures were strong.
Steel stocks were firm at the out
set. They fluctuated narrowly in
the early dealings and held small
gains near the close. Rails were
featured by sharp gains in Kansas
City Southern issues, both of which
made new highs. Other carriers
moved narrowly. Utilities were
steady to firm
Several special issues made new
highs. Columbian Carbon touched
a new 1884 top at 1855, up points;
Green Cananea preferred 40, up 5;
Amour of Delaware preferred 92h,
up 81; International Pager pre-
ferred "a, up Is; and Brooklyn
Manhattan Transit 37$i, up'&.
National Lead recently weak,
rallied points to 100. Auburn
Automobile continued weak, break
ing to a new low at AIS. off 2is
points. Other Cord-controlled units
sagged, with Aviation Corporation
at 81, off a point.
Motor List Weak
Farm equipments firmed with
grains. Motors we're slightly lower
as we're rubber shares. Wet stocks
lost fractions to a point. Aviation
issues generally were higher despite
the low bids submitted for air mail
contracts. American Telephone,
American Can, Westinghouse Elec-
trio, Sears ROebuck, Radio Corpora
ton, were among leaders to lose
small amounts
Stock sales today approXimated
100000 shares against SOL 900 shares
last Saturday. Curb stocks were
1896 900 shares against $4,000 shares
last Saturday.

averages showed industrial 1864,

vets are the really new things,
and will rather take the place OF
the other types. Black is by far
the leader in all types, in fact
will be almost the only color for
formal day wear.
Brocades for Evening
For evening, metal brocades
are smart, and they will be in
new patterns, and in very rich
effects. They are often copied
from rare old tapestries. They
may be very simple, or may
have handsome frames, even
iewelled. To be very very
smart, have a bag to match
your brocaded shoes.
Richly embroidered bags Of
dress fabrics. including velvet,
will be seen in the evening too.
Lace, satin, silk sheers, crepe
and metal brocades will also
be embroidered in sequins,
beads, nailheads and in metal
threads.

bedrooms are those places to

comfort. That table from the

had better be put in the attic
than in your bedroom if it
doesn't belong. And there are
many pieces in most bedrooms
that could very we'll come out.
Individual Tastes
In rooms for yourself and
your family the tastes of the
persons who will occupy the
rooms are of utmost import
lance. Their color ideas, their
likes and dislikes in furniture
should be consulted before a
thing is done.
Many people have a loathing
for soft colors. You'll find that
many men do. And yet they
are constantly subjected to the
pink-and-blue bedrooms that
their wives dote on. Surely
there could be some compro-
mise!
COlOrS in Harmony
Likewise the red, white and
blue scheme which is so smart
now is much too sprightly for
some souls who require repose-
full themes. For them a pale
mauve with a touch of pink is
divine and they should have it.
Guests rooms had better be
rather neutral, or else done in
such perfect harmony that not
a soul can find fault. Gold
and yellow are colors that most
people like, and white is almost
universally popular, so those
colors are fairly safe. If you
stick to rather traditional
furniture as we'll as a simple,
tasteful color scheme, you will
be sure to please.
Lighting Important
Other important things are
the light and the furniture
itself. Be sure that each room
is bright and sunny, though if
that is impossible because of
location, use gold, yellow and
white in profusion to give the
impression of light.
Then be sure that you can
draw dark shades Ozark on one
side, the outside, is sufficiently

there is no glare from electric
lights that cannot be disposed

Black velvet will be the big
news for bags for afternoon, res
taurant dining, for the theater
and for certain evening cos
tunes. Of course velvet will be
good in colors, but the bags will
be restricted to use with cos
tunes they match, which limits
them considerably.
Shirring, pleating. rufflings
and headings will make up the
trimming details of these new
bags, and some will have jeweled
or marcasite frames or trimming
such as pulls or initials.
Velvet for Everyone
Velvet bags will be sold at all
prices, and in many styles and
shapes. But the fact that it will
be available at prices for every
one will not keep the fashion
leaders from using it. Quality
shows up rather decidedly in
velvet, and variability is also
affected by price, so that the
good bags will look just as good,
even if they are among a galaxy

First the Houses house
needs a word or two of de-
scription. Just off the beach,
it is a large and rambling af-
fair, almost entirely sur
rounded by trees. Rather
drab color frame-a very
dark green, I think - it
boasts spaciousness rather
than beauty, from the out
side, at any rate.
Here many political issues
are discussed. I would have
enjoyed being in on the con-
versation between the Colonel
and war time Premier Wit
torio Orlando, of Italy, who
was a recent visitor there.
Ex-Premier Orlando, it will
be remembered was one Of
the postwar peace confer
ence big four with Will
son, Clemenceau and Lloyd
George. signor Orlando has
now returned to Italy, where
he is head of the legal de-
partment of the University
Of Rome.
Other recent guests Of the
Houses have been the Butler

Minister to Czechoslovakla),
William Wiseman, wartime
representative of the British
government as chief Of its
secret service department;
Louis Wiley, famed journal
list, and Stanley High.

author of Europe Turns the
Corner" to which Colonel
House wrote an introduction.
Despite the constant enter
tainment of notables, there is
a very serene atmosphere at
West Beach Hill. The Colonel
reads on his porch which
commands a fine view Of the
sea, or walks with his pet

over the countryside and
entertain their family-while

Country Tweeds Will Be Rough
This Autumn

Men will be men! Tweeds
will be rough, and will look like
they were made for men.
There's to be quite a revival
of the sturdier, bumpy tweeds
from England and Ireland
that were the rage several
years ago, but have rather been
on the decline since then.
A smart costume suggested
for country wear consists of
odd trousers and jacket, with
the Jacket lighter than the
trousers. Brown, even a rather
dark brown, might do for
trousers, and a brown and tan
mixture for the coat. And it
should be made simply, for the
fancy" coats of this summer
will not be as good as coats
that speak their sports-like
character in fabric rather than
cut.
Plain Felt Best

Green To Be
Leading Color

There are many greens out al
ready, and from the way they
are already being received, it
looks as though they will be
leaders in the color field.
Newest in town at the mo-
ment is peacock green, a color
we'll known but little worn up
to the present. It's particularly
smart for Sportswear, making
dresses of soft woolens or
rougher materials, and worn un-
der coats of brown or gray, for
it goes with both the brown and
tan range, and black or gray.

wear also,

Checks WILDE Even Smarter
For Fall Wear

Men have not departed one
inch from their fairly new spon-
sorship of checks and plaids.
They'll wear more of them than
ever this fall and winter. And
not only will they appear in the
country, but in town as well.
And again checks, plaids and
stripes. not to mention colorS,
will all be combined in one cos
tune. Not that odd jacket and
trousers will be seen so much in
town, but plaid overcoat,
checked suit and striped shirt
will no doubt be worn often.
Add to that a patterned tie,
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1934-08-31

and the figures fairly jump at
you. But the average man will
let two or three patterned gar
ments suffice, and wear a plain
color overcoat, or one part of
his costume beneath the coat in
a plain color, to preserve a just
balance.
Checks, by the way, may be
quite large, and in rather start
ling black and whites or in
brown and white, or brown and
cream. The S h e and and
hounds tooth checks are said to
be among those that will be fav-
orites.

The consensus of opinion so
far is that brown suede oxfords
will be the right shoes for coun-
try. They've been on the up for
some time and are just now be-
coming really popular with the
majority of men. but the small
few who set styles are already
beginning to turn from them.

UNUSUAL BEAUTY. OF SCENERY AND.
 MUSIC IN FL M
Be Mine Tonight at Capi- tol Most Delightful Ro-
 mantle Musical of Year

We commend to your attention one of the grandest talking pictures anyone of us is every likely to see. In the past four years we have had number of outstanding talking pictures, but none in the same class with Be Mine Tonight" i" which opened yesterday at the Capitol Theatre.
 In the first place, Be Mine To- night" is a film and not a photo- graphed stage play It has thrown off the shackies of the studio and escaped to the open air. IS pre- sents an evenly flowing continuity of swift motion against richly var jed and really magnificent scenery A picture should be panorama. Be Mine Tonight" is a panorama of Alpine settings of exquisite beauty perfectly photographed and flaw lessly knit together in dramatic sequence
 Then the basis of this drama is joyful adventure, tender romance great and glorious fun.
 And beyond all these delights, we have incompatible music. Kiepura who has a golden voice, and is the sensation of Europe, brings to this film a soaring ectasy of song alto- gether without parallel in motion pictures. It is predicted that he will become the rage and will be seen in many other pictures releas- ed in America.
 This triumphant result has been achieved by searching Europe for the finest available talent. The di- rector, Anatole Litwak, is a young Russian exile who tomorrow will be famous. The heroine, Mag da Schneider, is a German girl, oi nineteen who is discovery of dis coveries. The comedians are Sonic Hale, Edmund Gwenn and Athene .Seyler. Universal is to be congrat ulated for releasing this delightful entertainment.
 One patron at the Capitol The ater last evening commented or the delightful combination of glor- ious music, magnificent scenery anc happy romance in Be Mine To- night" by saying, seeing this pic ture is like taking a European trip attending an opera and romantic comedy all at the same time"

TERRIBLY SPOILED

'iIt wasn't easy, but I loved It. she declares. "One night my dress ing room was little hole-in-the- wall that just a few days before had been flooded in a storm. l thought back on the dressing room used to have-that 5000 bunga- low First National built for me, with its bath that one writer told me was big enough for a skating rink-and I didn't regret the change one bit.
 "The stage brought me into con- tact with a more real life. I'm all ways grateful to Hollywood, but l think it spoiled us terribly in the old days. There's a narrowness of viewpoint that I think comes in- evitably as soon as you stay shut up within these hills too long. In the future I want to do both plays and pictures"
 The one film she would like to do more than any other is a talkie version of her biggest silent film, ''The Divine Lady" 1t is one of the few, as she points out, that is not being done during the present costume cycle"

MOMENTS WARD IN PRISON IS
 SHOWN IN FILM
Ladies They Talk About Starring Barbara Stan
 wvck Is at Coliseum

A replica of the women's section of San Quentin prison, California, was constructed on the Warner Bros. lot in North Hollywood, for the production of Ladies They Talk About Barbara Stanwyck's latest starring vehicle now showing at the Coliseum Theatre.
 The cell blocks, recreation and work rooms, kitchen, laundry, lav- oratories and exercise yard with its bleak stone walls, are all repro duced with accuracy for the pro- duction, which pictures life of the women prisoners The story is bas- ed on the actual prison experi- ences of Dorothy Mackaye, actress and co-author, who served time there after the tragic death of her husband.
 In order to make every detail correct, a former inmate, woman of high intelligence, was engaged as technical director, to supervise the prison scenes, both for action and atmosphere.
 Miss Mackaye, who has since been released from prison, remar- ried and again playing on the stage collaborated with Carlton Miles ir presenting her experiences in play form. The play was adapted for the screen by Sidney Sutherland and Brown Holmes.
 The picture, in addition to its prison sequences, carries an inter- esting romance of the love of a young evangelist for one of the prisoners. There is a strong cast supporting Miss Stanwyck, which includes Preston S. Foster, Lyle Talbot, Dorothy Burgess, Lillian Roth, Maude Eburne, Harold Huber and Ruth Donnelly. The picture was directed by Howard Brother ton and William Keighley
