Without Mr.. Lubitch's care and his
sense of humor, THE Merry Widow"
might have ridden for a fall It is
slim stuff. and one of its errors is that
Edward Everett Horton isn't allowed
to be as funny as usual. However, in
the main it skipS along with charm
and humor, is acted very pleasantly by
Jeanette Macdonald and Maurice
Chevalier and, while it will not give
the current generation much OF an
idea what their mammies crowed
about when they saw the original
widow, it will acquaint them with that
lifting music, with Maxime's and with
a new widow who is so rich that, as
the script says. she owns So per cent
of every Marshovian COW.
Mr.. Lubitch's skill in making the
sublime ridiculous is all to the good in
this case. Miss Macdonald takes her
self far less seriously than ever before
and the love story is not one long
round of full moons and ginger beers.
Mr.. Chevalier pursues his lady with
characteristic chivalry, embracing
dozen or more Fits and Froo-Froos
and other handsome girls on the way.
When he enters a public place he Is
attacked like a Teddy Bear and given
such an ovation that it is wonder ne
is able to want to give his whole time
to the perhaps less exciting widow.
Since, however, this widow owns SO
much of those Marshovian COWS, 1t Is
perhaps natural for him to succumo
to her in the long run-and When
the picture is done you are very well
satisfied not only with the widow but
with most of the other participants.
Mr.. Chevalier is slim and less lower
lin conscious than usual. playing
Danilo with great skill; Miss Mhc-
Donald plays better than she has ever
plaved before, and Una Merkel does
her customary bit about twice as well
as ANYBODY else could. The music IS
rich and tuneful; the sets are taste
fully luxurious, and the waltz Is not
overdone. In other words-a good
show. Don't miss it.

Uptrend Continued
Bu Chemical Prices

Although consumers inventories
were increased, prices for heavy
and fine chemicals continued their
upward trend during the last week
of the year, says the Oil, Paint
and Drug Reporter in its current
issue, higher levels were reached
in the paint and pharmaceutical
groups, although there were re-
ductions in some items.
Spot business had the usual
year-end quietness, but the move
ment of industrial chemicals and
heavy materials in general under
1888 contracts continued strong.
In certain lines, large consumers.
in anticipation of higher prices,
took during the closing weeks of
the year larger quantities than
they had taken previously during
1898.
It is generally expected that, as
a consequence. business in chem
icals priced higher on 1884 con-
tracts will be quite limited during
the first quarter and for a longer
period in some cases unless there
should come a heavy expansion in
consuming activities. 1t is note
worthy that consumers have
loaded up with materials at this
year.end for the first time since
the war.

Volume of advertising is now
regarded as an accurate indica-

eral advertising pushed its gains
to 1872 per cent, with a total Of

Similar trends are being shown

The value of United States ex-

1888, it is revealed in a weekly

America likewise continued as
