STATE


 AS timely and exciting as the lat- est news bulletin is the thrilling production, "A Dispatch from Reut- CTS" which opened its four day en- gagement at the Warner Bros State theater this afternoon with Edward G. Robinson in the leading role.
 The screen has brought to the front the stories of many famous people but never before has 1t re- vealed the tale of Q person so widely heard of, but so little known.
 Robinson plays the part of Julius Reuter-, whose speedy dispatches held within them the fate of ern- pires and who did more to form the ethical credo of news gathering than any man in history. He first had the idea of finding some way to speed up the travelling of news when he was 6 child. Never forget ting his childhood ambition, he and his friend, played by Eddie Albert, open a news agency and use pigeons to carry the news between towns which have no telegraph.
 As years go on the Reuters News Agency becomes more and more as- |sociated with dramatic and far- |reaching events despite attempts to |place obstacles in his path.
 Edna Best portrays his sympa- thetic wife who drives home the |lesson that the duty of reporte |is first to his people and secondly to his paper.
 Other notables in the cast include Albert Basserman, Gene Lockhart, Otto Kruger, Nigel Bruce and Mon- |tagu Love.
 Cramming an hour and half of .gay entertainment into its bubbling length is the second big hit, "Too Many Girls" which will present State patrons with a streamlined screen version of the famous Broad- way musical hit of the same name, h what is hailed as the top fllmusi- gal offering of the year.
 The picture features Lucille Ball, Richard Carlson, Ann Miller, Eddie Bracken, Frances Langford, the Cuban sensation Desi Arnaz and Hal Le7oy. Bracken, Arnaz and Le- Roy are among the many personali- ties transferred from the cast of the stage production to the screen ver- sion.
 As usual regular State prices will prevail during this engagement.

War Business Likely
To Follow Highly
SeIective Path
Reodjustment Rother
Than Expansion Is
Expected to Result
BY the Associated Press.

oS tiC hSoOSlaLcu EICcS
NEW YORK, March 25.-The
principal effect of the war upon
United States business, the Guaranty
Survey, organ of Guaranty Trust
Co. of New York. said today, is
likely to be REIMBURSEMENT, rather
than expansion"
LAS far as can be seen at present" Z"
the survey said, "any trade expan-
sion that may take place will con-
tinue to be highly selective. with
stimulating effects in some lines off,
set by further obstacles in others" "
Economic pressure abroad has
forced extension of Government
control. the magazine pointed out.
Resources of belligerents are not
unlimited.
'The whole world will be stag
gering under the burdens and dis
locations imposed by the war and
will need every aid and encourage
ment that can possibly be given to
the resumption of normal interna-
tional relations" the publication
said, concluding:
THE United States should be in
position to play an important part
in the great task of reconstruction "
Current reports do not indicate
the downward movement of do
mestic business has ceased, the sur
very said, although the rapid and
continuous decline during the first
two months of the year seems to
have given way to a slower and
more irregular recession in the last
few weeks.
In some quarters more favorable
tendencies were noted.

Exchange Seeks Way 10 CuI
Real Estate Losses
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 25.-Report-
Ing it was in the red again last
year, the New York Stock Exchange
today discussed its troubles as
Wall Street landlord, blaming real
estate for major part of the loss.
In the big bull market years before
the 1929 crash when brokers were
making money hand over first, the
exchange expanded its real estate
holdings in the downtown financial
district with the idea Of enlarging
the trading floor.
The depression and shrinkage in
trading completely changed the
situation. Now the exchange is
thinking of hanging for sale"
sign on some of the property, it
was indicated in the 1899 report.
With 40 per cent of the space
occupied by outside tenants and
Is per cent of the rentable area
vacant, a cost analysis showed an
estimated loss last year of 1894 sol
on building investment and oper-
alton"
The consolidated net loss of the
exchange and its affiliated COM
panies for 1899 amounted to ST.
149,373 compared with a loss of
$l,54S,417 in 1888 after allowing
$654,726 for depreciation.

Capital Revision Urged
For Curtis Publishing
BY the Associated Press


PHILADELPHIA, March 25.-A
system of capital revision for the
Curtis Publishing Co. was described
AS necessary today by President
Walter D. Fuller in his annual re-
port to stockholders.
IF this can be accomplished" :"
he said. I'VE face most encourag-
ing decade of the 1940s.'
Commenting on the need for a
realistic facing of the necessity for
revision of our capital structure -
the presidents report said:
For a number of years it has
been increasingly evident that our
capital structure. built up during
the prosperous days of the 192Gs
when there was little radio and
but slight magazine competition, is
entirely out of line with present-day
conditions and prospects.
THE publishing business has
changed materially during the last
decade. Increased costs, new forms
of taxation. increased competition
in it's own field from new magazines
and the development of new media
such as radio have served to reduce
volume and margins of profits for
all concerned"
The company's financial report
also made today, listed net income
for 1889 as s35 ,657070 and earnings
of s2.l425l6. or SO per cent In
1893 net income was S33.O38,422 and
earnings, sl.276,162. or $50 per cent.
The report showed unpaid arrear-
ages on preferred stock as Of April
/. 1910. amount to about S14000,00o
or S19.371a a share
