last night at the National, is Mr.. An

which still has thunder running
through its veins. 1t is magnificently
aided by 10 Mielziner's eerie Brook

Misunderstanding knot. 1t is also
acted so superbly by Guthrie Nc
Clintic's hand-picked cast, that no
line seems out of joint, no action Is

BLACKFRIARS SCORE

Mary Crowley Stars in Title
Role Of Catherine the

Valiant"
."C.ATHERINE THE VALIANT" re-
ligio-historical drama from the
quill OF Urban Nagle. O. p, found the
thespians of the Blackfriars' Guild
displaying last evening their peculiar
aptitude for inculcating authenticity
in ecclesiastical dramatursy.
Father Nagle has chronicled the
ultimately availing efforts of Cath
crime Of Siena to return the Papacy
from Avignon, where 1t was the storm
center Of interfuedal chicanery to
Rome and its rightful supernatural
status, and in the process produced
an evenings chore OF considera BILE
moment for any player group, but the
Blackfriars proved eminently equal to
the task.
The title role was allotted to Mary
Crowley, and Miss Crowley, be it re-
corded, played the militant nun with
deftness and feeling. In the fourth
act, wherein Catherine successfully
parried the restraining counsel of
cardinals and the ambitious Duke of
Anjou-even the pathetic appeal Of
an aged father-to preserve the Pope's
decision, she showed to best advantage
Miss Crowley was entrusted with a
lush characterization-she delivered
intelligent acting-she was entitled to
first honors.
Scneming Countess Ursina, unsuc-
cessful in consummating a marriage
OF political convenience with Vim
cenzo. GATHERINGS emissary, was por-
trayed in capable fashion by Jeanne
Bateman. Both as the self-assured
Ursina of act three and as the
frustrated castigator a chapter later,
MISS Bateman was in fine histrionic
fettle. Another able delineation was
offered by Clarence J. Whittier as
orsina's sponsor in schemery, the
duke.
Sgueo, the Blackfriars' first-string
ingenue, was on hand to contribute
a sympathetic Margherita, Vincenzo's
heart interest, while Pietro, her grand
father, bitter in his moribundity, was
wel-handled by Gerald Gregg. Julian
@. zier played Pope Gregory with
understanding and care and John J.

SCREEN HELD MEDIUM
FOR FUSION OF ARTS
Miss Skidelsky Praises Possibili-
ties, But Says Films Have

Miss Skidelsky Praises Possibili-
ties, But Says Films Have
Produced Only Distraction.
1.-THE screen is the most wonderful
technical medium We ever have
had for . fusion Of all the arts" Miss
sibelia skidelsky told large audi
ence last night at the Washington
College Of Music, in her last lecture
Of Main Currents Of the Modern
Drama"
No other medium, Miss Skidelsky
said In her talk, which was devoted
to future trends In the theater, offers
the same opportunities as the mo-
tion picture for uniting drama, music
and dancing. Further, Miss Sidelsky
said, the screen and the stage should
not be considered as competitors.
In discussing motion pictures as
future for American drama, the
speaker pointed out that the screen
Is very much In key with modern
life. With its scope, the speed with
which it can shift from one scene to
another, 1t is much more in tune
with the swift pace Of the life Of to-
day than Is the stage. with Its pauses
between scenes for changing scenery
and its intermissions between acts.
Motion pictures, however. so far
have been produced to provide only
distraction, according to Miss Ski
delsky. Occasionally, but only occa-
sionally. has the screen brought forth
something which might be elassed as
art, she said, and never has 1t done
anything that might be termed intel
1ectual.
The main fault Of the stage Of to-
day found by Miss Skidelsky is that
there are no really good plays, as there
have been in days past. The only
good dramas. she said, are strictly To-
Called, and lose their effect when
translated into another language and
brought to another country.
Miss Skidelsky feels. therefore, that
there ought to be league Of art to
censor bad plays, instead of the re-
cent Legion Of Decency to censor the
morals Of the theAter.
The portion Of the evening follow
ing Miss Skidelsky's talk was devoted
TO a discussion by members Of the
panel Of the Washington College of
Music Of their opinions OF trends in
the theater. H. M.

ROANOKE, Va, November 28.-
Four promotions among the operating

tas divisions of the Norfolk & Western
Railway. effective December /, and a
construction prograL. involving the
expenditure of more than 5000 900
were announced here.
c. H. Tabor of Portsmouth, Ohio,
trainmaster of the Scioto division was
appointed superintendent of the Poca-
hontas division. succeeding w. o.

eral superintendent of the Western

w. Va, will succeed Mr.. Tabor as

that these trends will impose an ex-
cessive handicap on business recovery.
Industrial recovery is now at the
stage where production can be ex-
panded without proportionate in
creases in the number of workers en-
ployed. Because of certain relatively
fixed expenses, industrial profits tend
to rise more rapidly than the expan-
sion in sales. and even granting of ad-
ditional concessions to labor is not
expected to interrupt this trend next
year.
There is no basis for assuming that
heavier wage costs in 1887 will have a
paralyzing effect on business or that
the upward trend of corporate earn
ings will be reversed. Profits will,
however, rise more slowly. and the
constant threat Of further strikes will
impose an element of uncertainty
which will restrict forward planning
in numerous lines
"Such developments are normally
to be expected at this stage of broad
cyclical recovery. Their greatest threat
is not from the 1887 standpoint. but
over the longer term"

Shipping Tie-up on Both
Coasts Partly to Blame
for Small Supplies.
BY A. A. PATTON,
Associated Press Statisticiar.

NEW PORK, November 28.-Com-
modify prices closed the week at the
best levels in six years, with short sup
plies in some lines as result of the
shipping tie-up on both coasts partly
responsible.
The Associated Press weighted index
of IS important wholesale commodi-
ties rose to BATS per cent of the 1926
average, compared with 84.53 week
ago and 7766 last year.
More than one-third of the staples
in the index that chalked up gains
were dependent on steamships for de-
livery. Rubber, cocoa, coffee, tin and
lumber were included in this list.
The first four must be imported,
while much of the lumber used on the
Eastern seaboard is shipped from the
Pacific Northwest via the Panama
Canal.
Heavy Demand . Factor.
Heavy demand for these imported
items, Of course, had buoyant effect
on quotations. Rubber consumption.
for example, has been carrying along
at a fast clip, with the output re-
stricted by agreement among growers.
Live stock prices we're marked up
smartly as the pressure of heavy offer
ings lifted Commodity men pointed
out this was the normal seasonal pat
tern and when sales forced by the
shortage of feed we're completed,
further gains could be expected. Hogs,
cattle and lambs all shared the adj
vance.
Industrial staples pushed to new
peaks for the year. Not only were
dealer inventories at the lowest point
in several years with deliveries hard
to get in some instances, but demand
continued to be spurred by the fast
tempo of retail trade.
Tin was sharply higher; bituminous
coal, turpentine, lumber and rubber
also advanced.
Textiles fell back slightly after an
almost uninterrupted rise of three
months that carried prices up a per
cent. The major item-cotton cloth
remained unchanged, while wool
and silk slid off. The latter, COM
modify men said, had probably been
carried along by the swift upswing in

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 28.-In its
weekly summary of the general busi-
ness situation, the Standard Statistics
Co. of New York. currently comments
as follows:
Further extension OF the business
recovery in 1887 means greater en-
ployment and larger aggregate wage
disbursements. 1t also means further
pressure from labor interests for ad-
ditional legislation with respect to
minimum wages. maximum hours and
collective bargaining
Stimulated by more aggressive
leadership and fortified by sympa-
thetic Government, labor is certain to
press for greater advantages next
year. In spite of the generally more
lenient attitude on the part of en-
ployers with respect to demands for
increased wages, numerous disturb
ances, strikes and lockouts are virtual
ly inevitable
Careful analysis of the outlook
from the standpoint both of the
workers and of industry reveals. how
ever, that there is no reason to expect
