Rise in Scrap Reported.

Jones & Co., said in a dispatch from
Pittsburgh today that Republic
Steel. Corp, recently paid SIG a ton
for No. heavy melting steel scrap
in the Youngstown district.
This price, the news agency
pointed out, was equivalent to about
$3.50 ton in the Pittsburgh dis
trict and the highest since October,
1887.
However, the highest price which
recently has been paid in Pittsburgh
is S16.25, and it was said that until
sales in Pittsburgh are made above
that price, the general quotation will
remain at s15.75 to S1625 a ton.
Other lines of scrap in Pittsburgh
were reported higher, with short
rails rising to new high at S13.25
to S1075 ton.
Lead Prices Boosted.
A modest revival in demand for in
dustrial metals brought an advance
today Of 0.l0 of a cent in lead to
485-4.90 cents pound, delivered in
New York, the highest since jan
uary.
A slow rise in the price of export
copper continued, lifting the quota
ton to around 1921 cents a pound.
Recently it sold below the 1O-cent
level. The bid price for No. scrap
copper, trade circles said, has been
raised Is cent pound to 93s cents.
Higher metal prices in London

coherent IN q MOOD OF Sucn dlaDOllcf
scorn Is remarkable thing. So also
is his latest film, considered from
the standpoint Of dramatic force,
and with its moral effects left for the
assessment of minds more sensitive
to such abstract values.
It is not difficult to see why the
meat of Mr.. OFlaherty, a sensa-
tionally outspoken fellow, should be
poisonous to those of a different
philosophy. It is strong stuff,
served rare, and "The Puritan" is
a brilliant specimen of the diet
OFlaherty thinks the species needs
to achieve happiness, beauty and
strength. OF its unusual kind, 1t
also is an engrossing piece of screen
craft, an X-ray of q tormented soul
which shows how deeply the camera
can reach If no one gives hang
about a glossy finish.
Protagonist Of THE Puritans," the
sis that intolerance is a deadly
disease, is a fanatical young writer,
Paul Ferriter. He burns books which
he regards as impure, he hunts down,
what he regards as sin In every
corner, he hurls wild accusations In
the face Of the passing world and
generally he suspects the worst Of
every human except himself. Even
his fellow vigilantes he finds craven,
until he is driven to take world
betterment so completely in his own
hands that he murders an unhappy,
bewildered, morally mildewed girl.
The idea of the murder, which he
regards as providentially inspired
and a masterpiece of human work.
manship, is to focus attention upon
all the rampant evil which he must
destroy.
Whether or not it is the MASTER
piece Ferriter thinks, the murder
is masterpiece Of screen drama
making, the whole thing done in
pantomirne that exceeds in eloQuence
any conceivable amount Of dialogue.
In the role of Ferriter, Jean-Louis
Barrault creates haunting portrait
Of mind bursting with abnormality,
a revelation the more pitiless because
VI 40 StdAA = o1IPAICACy.
Thus introduced, a man who could
see his soul whitened by so bloody
a deed, Ferriter is followed by the
story tellers with a ferocity that
equals his own in intensity and un-
tagging energy. He is as despic-
able to O'Flaherty and Director Jeh
Musso as his sense of sinners is
despicable to himself, and the film
traces him to degradation and final
self-awareness in a fashion that is
utterly remorseless.
Obviously there is nothing Of
physical or moral beauty about 1.-THE
Puritan" Beauty was not what its
creators had in mind. They were
thinking, without apology, of ugli-
ness; of an abominable thing which
they found fascinating and which
they present with their fascination
for it expressed in forceful, adult
terms.
AS screen drama, "The Puritan" Is
powerful stuff. It's power comes pri-
marily from the extraordinary sym

What with "The White Steed"
opening tonight at the National,
"The Informer" at the Little and
'The Puritan" at the Belasco, a
fairly comprehensive clinical study
of the Irish literary soul Is possible
in Washington this week.
Like Mr.. OFlaherty, Paul Vim
cent Carroll, author of "The White
Steed," has had his difficulties with
persons who think he should not
scream so loud about the torment
in his artistic soul. Those who
suggest an opiate for Mr.. Carroll
mainly have been associated with
Dublin's famous Abbey Theater.
Certainly they have not been
Americans, for in two brief seasons
Mr.. Carroll has become the favorite
foreign playwright of the Republic.
His Shadows and Substance u
which delighted Washington before
1t went on to make New York feel
rhapsodic, won the critics award
for the best foreign play Of the
1878 season. "The White Steed'
repeated that success for the 1888
theater term.
Mr.. Carroll is back in America
again, this time with drama that
deals not at all with the church,
the clergy nor the impoverishment
of the spirit which he finds 50
wearisome in ireland. There seems
likely to be no competition that
would keep 1t from winning a third
prize for the mighty mite Of the
Irish drama, a man who can match
OFlaherty In scorn and far surpass
him in compassion. (And we'll lis
ten to no contrary argument on
that)
