 Hollywood Short takes: For the next Ring Crosby picture-the one
 after Double or Nothing" now in production-Paramount bought story with a catchy title. Soon,
 though, 1t was decided that the title
 was the only thing worth saving, so writers were set to work weaving a
 new story around it.
 They turned out 8 good yarn, but they wandered away from the
 prized title. So the name was dis
 carded and now they'll call it
 And Then Came Spring" That's
 how screen plays are made. Baby LeRoy isn't washed up," after all. The young man, who began his career at the age of 1S months and retired when he was 3, is 5 now and planning 3 come
 back i'm RKO's Junior G-Men." Also in the cast is Jackie Cooper, who has been doing very well
 since he began dancing like many an adult star.

 bookmaker on studio lot recent ly and established him in 8 dress ing room. It made fine office;
 he used the telephone through the studio switchboard for placing
 bets and getting returns. It was three days before he was discovered and booted out by mortified execu-

excitement which this daring ad- venture 1lm allords.
 One sees many wonders ln this hlul--dssperate fights among bsasis Of the jungle, the thundering charge of rhlnocerus, haiErbfeadth escapes from Crocodlles- and the weird death dance of the savage Tsorgi.
 And through all these thrills there runs gorgeous romance Of the boy Peru and the golden haired 'sun goddess" of the savage tribes.
 Harry Carey, as Trader Horn, gives a splendidly dramatic per- fortnance in the title role, EdWina Booth, as the girl, is a beautiful and remarkable actress. Duncan Renaldo plays the romantic Peru.
 W. s. Van Dyke put infinite art istry into his direction of the light CT and more whimsical scenes of the picture, and gained the utmost in laundering drama in the others. Making it was a gigantic task, but the result will long live as the last word in a drama of gorgeous ad- venture.

Market Expected
TO Go Ahead In
Face of Handicaps
Iobor Difficulties and Var
Scares Are Still Cause
of Nervousness
By MAX BUCKINGHAM

New York. March 81. -U,H-
The stock market today moved IN
70 the second quarter still cloudeo
by labor difficulties although m
dustry anticipated further feco'-
cry progress.
Metal and oil ,hares advanced
sharply in today'S early traolls
but buying was insufficient 10
bring general market progress
Prices eased off near the close
with losses in the industrial sec
ton ranging to more than two
points in Bethlehem Steel IoVaI
volume was 1.660.000 shares.
Market Obstacles
The chief difficulties CONFRONT
inc the market were:
1-Postponement of the ChryS-
Ier strike conference until FIJI
day. The street had anticipated
earlisr action.
2-The deadlock in the an
thracite coal labor conference
here.
Sri ing costs of production
coming from increased payments
to employees. In connection with
this the American Iron & Steel
Institute announced that manu-
featuring costs have increased
nearly S2I5, 100000 annually by
recent wage advances and rising
prices of raw materials while gross
revenue resulting from the recent
advances on finished products
likely will bring in no more than
S2OO.0OO,OOO annually.
Talk of War
War talk in Europe. the econom-
ic situation here and labor COM
bine to bring nervousness. The
government bond market. in which
% issues went to new lows for a
year or more today. also was an
other confusing element.
Bu mess statistics continue good
however. and support the bulliSh-
ness. Averages for the month
showed that induStrialS lost O.69,
railroads gained 3.72 and utilities
lost two points. In the industrial
field are ~uch situations as:
Railroads. The regional ad-
visory board anticipates that car
loadingS in the second quarter will
show about rs per cent gain over
the 1886 period. CarloadingS this
week are likely to be around the
years high.
The Steel Picture
Steel-Magazine Iron Age said
the industry was going into the
second quarter near the highest
production rate in hi tory. Steel
makers are not trying to sell steel
now and the main problem is de-
livery. Operations are around 81
per cent of capacity and may go
above that to a figure which will
man the greatest output in his
tory.
Electric power Power output
still remains around the 2,200.000.-
900 kiloWaut hour level and any
let-up in strikes likely will bring
greater power output which may
so to an all time high.
