At AL[-T|ME HIGH
Armament Race Stimulates
Industry in Many Ma
tions of Europe.
(By Cambridge Associates0


II statistics told the whole story the
world would be very cheerful on this
threshold of a new year. World pro-
duction in the late months of 1896
reached q new all-time high. The
oppressive surpluses which have threat
ened price structures in recent years
have been substantially diminished.
The unemployment problem, while
still alive, appears working toward a
solution, and definite prelude to
international monetary stability and
freedom of exchange has taken place
To a disturbing extent, however,
the roseate statistics can only be re-
garded as symptomatic Of the fever
below. Impelled by the civil war in
Spain, the ominous international al
liances which the year brought to
the surface, and by the conditions
which preceded these manifestations
Of unrest, rearmament efforts have
been doubled. How much these ef-
forts are influencing the present figures
for production and employment it is
impossible to determine. Safely, how
ever, it can be asserted that in Ger
many, Russia, Italy and Czechoslo-
vakia they are dominant factors; in
England. France and Belgium they
are important factors. And to what
ever measure the basis for present
activity is based upon armament eX-
penditures. to that measure it is arti-
ficial and bodies no permanent good if
not positive i'll.
1t is none the less true that 1886
chalked up many less questionable
gains for world business Most far
reaching, Of course, was the long
expected devaluation of the gold-bloc
currencies and the concomitant tri-
power pact between France England
and the United States. This pact,
formed to prevent undue fluctuations
In the monetary units of the subscribe
ing nations, did not constitute by any
means a definite return to the inter-
national gold standard of the past. 1t
did promise that there would be no
I|uinous race to attain the dubious
benefits of further depreciation, and it
did lay the groundwork for complete
examination and overhauling of the
machinery of international exchange.
The establishment of a fixed inter-
national gold standard and general
tariff and quota revision cannot be
viewed as an immediate possibility
Influential world opinion, particularly
in the British sector is not ready for
It, for England has done very well un-
der her managed currency and con-
eervative opinion in London sees no
need for precipitate action.
English business activity, expanding
since the devaluation of the pound
in 1881, showed a further gain of
nearly per cent during 1896. In late
Spring the governments tremendous
rearmament program was launched
and this was of special effect in i'm
proving the condition of the heavy
goods industries which in England,
as in the United States have shown a
tendency to lag behind the consump-
tion-goods industries The unemploy-
n1ent situation Is the best since the
war. Only in the permanently de-
pressed marginal coal mining areas
does unemployment remain acute.

'Lysistroto' Is
DueApriI28

In presenting ''LySistrata," Arts.
tophane's comedy Of men, women
and war, which will open at the
Wardman Park Theater for q
weeks run Wednesday, April 28,
the Washington Civic Theater has
decided to adhere to the pronunci-
alton Of the word with the accent
on the third syllable Ly-sis-TRA-
ia.
Although this is not the strictly
correct classical way Of pro-
noumcing the name of the forward
looking heroine Of the comedy, 1t
is the way the Philadelphia Thea
ter Association authorized the po-
nunciation in the production
which won such vast fame up and
down the land in 1890, and it is
the pronunciation that has been
followed in all stage versions ever
since.
According to the AcademicianS
and puristS, the accent should
come on the second syllable max
ink it LySIS-tra-ta, but the correct
ness has been waived in all stage
productions in the search for
greater euphony for the modern
ear, so Ly7siS-TRA-ta it will be for
WaShingtonianS two weeks hence.

Trick Shots in
Earle Film

One Of the most difficult cam
era shots ever made was necessary
in the Cosmopolitan production
call It a Day." a comedy-drama
which is now ON view at the Earle
Theater.
Mounted on an immense crane,
the camera followed Frieda Ines
cort and Roland Young down five
flights of stairs. Filming the scene
occupied an entire day.
For the scene, a stairway was
built from the floor Of stage four
to the ceiling. The camera,
manned by Cinematographer Ern-
est Halter, was mounted on the
crane, which is the biggest in
Hollywood.
The shot began at the top OF the
stairway. Slowly the crane was
lowered and the camera followed
the two stars down until they
reached the bottom step.
Also in call It a Day. are
Olivia de Havilland, Ian Hunter.
Anita Louise and Alice Brady.
Archie Mayo was the director.

GLITTERING SCENES
Billy and Bobby Mauch are as
much alike as two peas in Piggy
Wiggly pod. They are not only
good-looking boys, but deucedly
clever, as it were. One will play
the little Prince of Wales, the other
the pauper of Offal court who i'm
personateS royalty.
They will be backed up by an
errnine supporting cast at that:
Enrol Flynn (who either lodged
Spanish bullets or carried a good
press agent with him), Henry Ste
phenson (who always talks as
though he had a mouthful Of muf-
fins but is as English as chutney),
Claude Rains (Theater Guild pet),

Lenore Uric
Here Friday

Lenore Uric, the exotic siren Of
score Of Broadway stage sue
cesses and more recently seen in
motion pictures, will appear in
person on the stage Of Loew's
Capitol Theater the week Of Fri
day, April %.
It is generally conceded that
Miss Uric has had one of the most
meteoric stage careers Of any
actress during the past quarter
century. She leaped to interna-
tional fame in the first production
of Oliver Morosco's Bird Of Para
disc" and soon after became one
Of Broadway'S brightest stars.
She starred in many Of David
Belasco's hits-"The Son-Daugh-
ter" 1.-THE Heart Of Wetoua, I"
"Kiki," Lulu Belle" in which she
scored one of her greatest per
formances, and many others.
In 1920 she made her first
screen appearance in Frozen
Justice" and after appearing in
a series Of films she was absent
from the screen for nearly three
years, returning not many months
ago for a notable part in Ca
mile" with Carlo and Robert
Taylor.
Miss Uric will present on the
Capitol stage q scene from Lulu
Belle" which was written by
Charles Macarthur and Edward
Sheldon. She will be assisted by
her own company.

to fit very logically into what
America will be reading every day,
seeing in the rotogravure, picture
pages and news reels for the next

Coast reports say that the
Brethren Warner poured money
into prince and the Pauper." The
idea was to infuse it with pomp
and circumstance, velvet and
crown jewels and the
Great Seal Of England, royal err
mine, lords and miladies, sparing
neither the horses nor the expense
sheets. I trust it turns out as gilt
tering as they predict.
Keeping up with the times, War
ner Bros. expect that they will
get the entire production cost of
Prince and the Pauper" from
English play dates. For the Eng
