When I read that you were

swayed by a preliminary Holly

all wool to meet the test.
EMOTIONALLY GOOD
Nancy, to cut the argument
short, I think you're big league.
Submarine Patrol" is such
good action picture about Navy
life, and since Slim Summer
vile, Preston Foster and the
others in the cast were par or
better, you might have got by
with a first performance that
was just adequate" But you
were good, and when Director
John Ford called for some emot-
ing in that scene with George
Bancroft, it really had bounce.

great chance in Tail Spin" A

fighting for your autograph.

me, that Richard Greene needs
more than his good looks, and
dimple, to make the grade. He
needs to be cast in the right
roles. His thick Picadilly accent
doesn't belong in Submarine

Is Coming

OF unusual interest In the
current theatrical season is
Katharine Cornells forthcom-
ing appearance in Clemence
Danes adaptation Of "Herod
and Marianne" to be seen
prior to the New York city pre-
miere in the National Theater
for one week only, beginning
Monday, November IA, with
matineeS on Wednesday and
Saturday.
The engagement marks the
occasion of Miss CornelPS first
stage appearance since she was
seen a year ago in Maxwell
AnderSon's The WinglesS Vic
tory" and the interest aroused
here in the event is evidenced
by the exceptionally heavy ad-
vance mail-order sale.
Possibly there is no more
tempestuous love story in his
tory than the romance OF King
Herod and Queen Marianne,
unhappy rulers Of a ancient
Judea, whose lives were >beSet
by the intrigues Of court life
and the tragedy Of misunder-
standing. Set in Jerusalem,
the action of "Herod and
Marianne" occurs in the time
lust prior to the birth of Christ.
Miss Danes adaptation of Fried
rich Hebbel's play is for the
most part historically accurate.
since, only for the sake of
facility in stage production,
certain events of biblical his
tory have been drawn more
closely together; this, in order
to conform to the restrictions
imposed by the conventional
length of a theatrical perform
ance.
AS Marianne, Miss Cornell
portrayS the tragic queen, deep
ly in love with her royal hus-
band, yet constantly in despair
because of his miStrust. His
baseless fears and his suspicious
of her fidelity are 1orerunners
to a disaster, which, might it
have been avoided, would prob
ably have changed the course Of
history.

MEASURE SIGNED
CORPORATION Authorized to Set
Aside Assessment Claims
Against Bank Holders.
Bv tie Assoc :ated Press.

bV LIT 1SStt h-tu ttoS
President Roosevelt signed yester-
day a bill authorizing the Federal De-
posit Insurance Corp TO waive its
claims for assessments against the
stockholders of insured banks which
fail ->-s-..s.
The legislation is of interest prin-
cipally in l3 States where what is
known as double liability is imposed
by constitution or statute. In those
States an owner of stock in State
bank is liable for assessments up to
the par value Of the stock If the bank
fails and its assets are insufficient
TO paw dopositors and other creditors,
Double liability derived its name in
banking circles from tire fact that,
although the potential assessment is
limited to the value OF tho stock,
the owner also loses his original in
vcStment III the security.
When an insured bank fails, the
F. D. I c. pays off the depositors up
to $4,000 each and assumes their
claims upon the assets of the bank.
The new law does not affect the rights
of other creditors to double liability
assessments.
Banking officials said the new law
was intended to make it easier for
State banks to sell stock TO strengthen
their capital structures, and to put
insured State banks on parity with
national panks, from which Congress
removed double liability in 1898.

NEW YORK, May 27.-Hit by bad
shopping weather, retail buying at
leading centers of distribution this
week averaged to IL per cent under
last week and 10 to 16 per cent under a
year ago for the country as whole,
Dun g. Bradstreet reported today.
Wholesale trade ran to IS per cent
under the preceding week and 8 to %
per cent under last year.
Retail distribution was unable to
rise under the weight of adverse
weather conditions and the additional
burden of mounting unemployment to-
tails" the credit agency said. Gold
and rainy weather for the third con-
secutive week in many leading centcr5
halted consumer buying"
Wholesale trade trends we're re-
ported equally bleak.
Even with inventories of many re-
tailers down to skeleton size. buyers
ranks were thinned in most of the
principal wholesale markets" the
agency added. Merchants evidently
have decided not to buy, citing
number of plausible reasons for the
further postponement of orders to
cover goods needed urgently.
Reason for withholding advance
commitments usually was explained by
the expectation of downward price re-
visions in some of the staple and most
of the novelty lines =
After three weeks of bad weather,
which did not favor the retailer, re-
orders almost were brought to a stand
still in some branches.
The dwindling number of mail re-
quests invariably specified oT-price
merchandise.
Consumers evidently have become
more price conscious, as buyers from
large retail units, which formerly
stressed quality, shifted emphasis to
price. when placing orders for even

BOND LIMIT BILL
Measure to Give Treasury
More Flexible Powers
for Financing.
By the Associated Press.

The amount of Government bonds
that may be outstanding at any one
time increased from $25,000, 900 900 to
$50, 100000 today when President
Roosevelt signed a bill which the
Treasury said would give it more fex-
ible financing powers.
The act does not alter the $45, ,000,-
100000 limit on the amount of public
debt obligations which may be out
standing. It merely changes the di-
viding line between bonds and Treas
ury notes, bills and certificates Of in
debtedness.
Under the old law. S25,000, 900 900
OF the S45 900 O00,0 900 total could be in
bonds and $4,000 100000 in other OBJ
legations. The Treasury was within
s1,7O0, 100000 of the bond limit. yet it
was contemplating maximum flnanc-
ing program during the next eight
months. exclusive of Treasury bill op-
erations. of about $4,000. 100000.
Secretary Morgenthau advised the
House Ways and Means Committee
that 1t might be more desirable for
the Treasury to meet maturing notes
and raise whatever additional cash
was necessary through the issuance Of
additional bonds rather than Treasury
notes.
Morgenthau said an adjustment Of
the bond limit was necessary to enable
the department to operate in the most
economical manner.
