Secretary of Commerce Daniel C.
Roper today predicted that Amer

portant surge forward" within a
few weeks.
Commenting on the recent stock

it probably was caused primarily by
fear of an international war, which
he said he personally did not be-
lieve was going to take place, and
by the fear of possible continued
labor troubles in certain units of
industry.
He said that it did not necessar-
ily follow that profits would be
larger this fall than before but
he believed the country was enter
ing an era of smaller but safer
profits"

Double Bill
Has Music
And Murder
P e ter LORE in "M'
and Musical at
RialtO.
BY HARRY MACARTHUR.

n lever before was there a double
bill that provided such con-
4 trast in moods as that now
provided by the two cinemas
chasing each other across the Rialto
screen all day long. One-half of the
program is M" forceful horror tale
that is not at all pretty, and the other
half is Invitation to the Waltz" a
hght-hearted little musical pleasantly
from Britain that hasn't harsh word
IN its system. Maybe you need some
thing like the latter to soothe your
nerves after a heavy dose of the for
mer.
IN" certainly is no entertainment
designed to provide escape from the
cares furrowing your brow, no bright
little charade TO make you laugh and
be happy. Its title is the symbol for
murder. Its central character is
psychopathic case who cannot over
power the impulse to kill little girls.
Its plot is the history of his capture.
Its humor. If any, is whatever humor
there Is in the fact that the killer is
caught by all the criminals in town,
who decide to get him out of the way
because the police, in their vain search
for him, are always getting in the way
OF honest crime.
1t Is more, Of course, than just the
horror film it might be. 1t is a poign-
ant, gripping story of a pitiful lost
soul. M is particularly and princi-
pally an attraction for serious stu
dents of the cinema. for the manner
in which Director Fritz Lang builds
up suspense until you're ready to yell,
and for several of Mr.. Peter Lorre's
heart-wrenching scenes. especially the
one where he breaks down before the
criminals who catch him and bring
him to trial of their own.
Invitation to the Waltz" is about a
ballet dancer, her boy friend, Napo-
leon, England, Venice and a few
other things. Its plot and its music
are pleasant and uninposing and rest
full. You will not stand up ON the
chair and cheer about it, but it is
soothing after M" And it does have
