REPUBLIC STEEL
DIVIDEND limited
Action on Common Stock
Much Closer, Says
Tom GirdIer.
By the Associated Press.

JERSEY CITY, N. j., April IA
Tom M Girdler, chairman and presi-
dent of Republic Steel Corp, told
stockholders at the annual meeting
today, I'VE are getting very much
closer to the time when we will be
able to say something to common
stockholders"
Similar comments have been made
recently by Myron c. Taylor. chair
man of United States Steel Corp,
and Eugene G. Grace, president of
Bethlehem Steel Corp, whose COM
mon stockholders also asked when
payments would be made on the COM
mon.
Commenting on earnings, Girdler
said the company made more money
in the first quarter than in all 1895.
In 1885 net earnings totaled 1885,
735.
We should also do pretty we'll in
the rest of the year and have a good
volume of business" he added.
Asked about the prospect for the
third quarter, Girdler said it looks
good but that it is impossible to pre-
dict the volume of business for that
quarter
The increase in prices of steel COM
modities has not compensated for the
advance in wages and the cost of
materials. Girdler said.
This is true of the steel industry
In general and also of Republic II
we make more money now it is due to a
greater volume. If the volume goes
Off, we will lose that betterment," he
declared
Directors named R J. Wysor, ex-
ecutlve vice president and general
manager, to its presidency. He sue
ceeds Tom M. Girdler, who will con-
tlnue as chairman Of the board. Grid
Ter has held both positions.

with wings of the Morning"
filmed in technicolor, displaying
perfectly gorgeous backgrounds
both in England and Ireland. Par
ticularly thrilling are the glimpses
of London and its famed derby in
color.
Harold Schuster, one-time local
film editor, makes his directorial
bow with this. And the result is
surprisingly good. He shows 9
decided flare for subtle smartness.
Had his yarn been done to a crisp
ness, then this initial effort would
would have rated an outstanding
label. However, there is an un-
necessary prologue tackled onto the
story, and there is a brief pause
in its telling to introduce John Nc
Cormack, famed tenor, as he looks
singing Irish ballads in color. Mr..
Mccormack isn't in as good voice
as he was once, nor does his
forced-in appearance add anything
to the production.
Most amazing note of the piece
Is the performance turned in by
Annabella. Snubbed by Hollywood
some months ago, it is now easy
for me to predict that this movie

particular instance. masquerade

ing and as lovely as any Of our

modern, concerning a young Ca

himself falling in love with the
lovely owner "a gypsy girD of a

will, you guess. win the famed

Henry Fonda does an excellent
bit of work as the hero. Most
amusing are his scenes with An.
nabella as a gypsy lad. And rather
risque are many of the situations.
