NEW YORK. June 4.-Tn its
weekly summary Of the general
business situation, the Standard
Statistics Company Of New York
currently comments as follows:
Industrial activity is beginning
to taper off, and there are signs
that the recession will be extended
well into the survey, according to
the Standard Statistics Company.
It is now believed that the spring
peak in production, which was
reached in March and early April
and reflected in part heavy ad'
vance buying because of labor
troubles and price increases, will
mark the highest level for 1887,
the report said, adding:
Despite the collapse of the
spec ulative boom several
months ago, the actual volume
Of industrial operations Is not
far from the recovery high be-
cause heavy shipments are still
being made against orders
placed earlier in the year. How.
ever, new orders in such indus
tries as cotton textiles and
steel have declined steadily for
. number of weeks, and the
extent Of the prospective sum.
ner letdOwn will depend to an
important degree upon hOm

after present order backlOgs
have been worked off.

ut present, business activity for
the third quarter, even after
making allowance for seasonal
influences, will be less favor
able than in the second quar-.
ter, but based on the current
operating outlook for all major
Industries, aggregate production
should hold well above a year
earlier"

Gas Range Market
-Four out of 10 housewives using
gas ranges know nothing about
their modern features, according
to disclosures revealed through a
survey by American Gas ASsocia-
ton in upstate New York. Only
one out of five have seen service
demonstrations; three of five
would like to.
Ovens above the stove are pre-
ferred by 80 per cent while so
per cent would rather have a flat
top range with ovens beneath.
Four out Of ten use their ovens
more than three times a week. Al
most SO per cent Of all gas Gus
toners do their own cooking.
FavOrite Cities
Washington is the favorite va
cation city listed by motorists in
a nationwide survey by American
Automobile Association. New York
was close second. Others in the
high ten ranked as follows: Bos-
ton, Chicago, San Francisco, Los
Angeles, New Orleans, Denver,
Quebec and Philadelphia.
Rising popularity of Quebec
centers attention on the fact thai
more American tourists travel in
Canada than in any other foreign
country. Last year As per cent
of all those leaving the United
States visited the Dominion in
contrast with IS per cent the pre-

U. S. and the World
United States industrial produc-
ton thus far in 1887, with an ad-
vance of 26.9 per cent over last

exception of Holland. The Meth

32.7 per cent. According to this
analysis Just released by the
League of Nations, United States
production is within ! per cent Of

STATE

With Madeleine Carroll, Francis
 Lederer and Mischa Auer, heading a stellar cast and with Q scintllatine story the State scores another hit
 with Q ripping romantic comedy en-
 titled "It's All Yours" The picture
 opened this afternoon before an au-
 dience that alternately roared with
 laughter or held, their breaths in suspense, in sparkling entertain tnent. " " ..' , t.s
 Mary c. Mccall, Jr., wrote the screen play, which Is an extremely amusing one, marked by constant high comedy surprises. Featured in the supporting cast are Grace Brad ley, as the gold-digging gigolette, J. o. Nugent, as the rich uncle and Charles Waldron. Each offers a top- notch portrayal, as do Victor Kll- ian, George Mckay, Arthur Hoyt and Richard Carle In lesser roles.
 The story concerns shy young Jimmy Barnes (Francis Lederer) who comes to America from Europe to join the law firm of his unc!c. Jimmy is prodded into spending few months having good time, and the result is that after Q few years young Barnes is the scandal of San Francisco. To bring him back to earth the elder Barnes en- lists the aid of his mouse-like sec- retary, Linda Gray (Madeleine Car- roll). On his death bed, he leaves his fortune to Linda, whom he knows to be in love with Jimmy, hoping thus to bring them together.
 How Linda goes to town, with Jimmy in tow to prevent her from spending all the money and with Mischa Auer making @ competitive bid for her affections, provides the hilarous comedy denouement. It's a grand picture, loaded with romance and laughter and enlivened by the brilliant dialogue, sparkling wit and laugh filled situations.
 The companion feature Is Parole Racket" with Paul Kelly and Rosa lind Neither, timely drama that u;lcovers 6 vicious racket and ex- poses the evils of the parade sys- tenn. ..,..
 This show will play the State the- aer today, tomorrow and Thursday only. Friday brings one of the most outstanding smash hits of the year, Dead End" with Sylvia Sidney, Joel McCree, Humphrey Bogart and great supporting cast including the kids from the Broadway stage pro- duction.

POLI'S

That Withers girl Is on the loose again out where the West begins, and the West was never so wild as when Jane and her gun-totin' grandpop, played by Walter Bren- nan, create pioneer pandemonium on runaway wheels for her grandest Twentieth Century-FoX comedy, "Wild and Woolly," which opens to- morrow at the Loew Poll theater for c three-day engagement.
 Shades of the Wild West of Buff! falo Bill and Sitting Bull are paled and put to shame when little Miss Mischief goes to town in the Mesa City Pioneer Day Jubilee. Aided and abetted by the best supporting cast she's ever had, Jane twirls 0 rope and rides like c saddle-born veteran as she reveals in the Days of 40" atmosphere recreated for her by grandpop Brennan.
 Last years Academy Award win- ner for the best performance of an actor in c supporting role, Bren- nan heads the cast which includes Pauline Moore, Carl Alfalfa" Switz- CT (from Hal Roach's gang, Jackie Searl Berton Churchill, Douglas Fowley, Robert Wilcox and Douglas Scott.
 The feud between Brennan and Churchill Is renewed each year when Brennan's candidacy for Sheriff is always defeated by the political ma. chine run by Banker Churchill. Jane carries on this battle with Jack searl, the bankers scion, and Douglas Scott, his snobhish stooge. Jane's accomplice, more hindrance than help, is the cofnical banjo eyed Alfalfa" .,
 Given @ fast pace by Director AL fred Worker, the original screen play by Lynn Root and Frank Fen ton plunges the characters into Q series of adventures and Inisadven- lures, riding runaway trains, getting grandpop into duel, soaring the wits out of tenderfeet itl Q grave yard at midnight, chasing gangsters on e careening stagecoach, and rop- ing young lovers Into romance.

Susie Reminds Eddie Can. tor That an Eelephant
 Still Doesn't Forget
By PAUL HARRISON

(NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 Hollywood over the lot: In the last shots of "All Baba Goes to Town" they're having trouble with Q temperamental actress. A big actress, too-an elephant named Susie.
 Eddie Cantor is sitting on Susie and making o political speech. The script says that when Cantor mem tions rising wages, Susie sits down, and when he talks about lowering wages, Susie gets up. The comedian then is supposed to try bit of modern political satire by inquiring how anybody can launch a New Deal from the back of an ele- phant.
 Unfortunately Susie hasn't read the script. She adheres to her early training, which was that when she was ordered to kneeL somebody wanted to dlSmOunt. So now she will knecl readily enough, but nothing can budge her from that position until Cantor hops to the ground.
 As soon as he remounts, Susie will rise. They try the scene again and again, finally have to film 1t in two takes.
 Perhaps out of respect for the supposed dignity of Q star, Susie also refuses to take trunkful ot water and whoosh 1t over Cantor,
 So the animal men are obliged to tic . garden hose along her trunk. The hose can't be seen by the camera, and Cantor Is thor 0ughly showered.
 Susie provides some genuine eX- citement between takes, by funbling
