Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
associated Press Financial Writer


NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Selling Of
steels unsettled the stock market
today after an early attempt at a
forward move met with only half
hearted response.
The tumble came shortly after
midday and prices for leaders drop
ped fractions to more than points
in lively dealings. 1t was a short
lived shift, however, and support
quickly made its appearance for the
majority of leaders. Final losses
were reduced and a number of issues
managed to emerge with modest
gains.
A feature of the proceedings was
the heavy turnover Of several low
priced utilities. One block of 1900
shares of Commonwealth & South
ern was recorded, unchanged at IL.
Lots of 1000 shares Of this issue
were frequent. Stable volumes Of
United Corp. also busted the ticker
tape.
Transfers for the five hours were
around 100000 shares, although the
pace occasionally slowed.
Tomorrow's national election,
when the stock exchange will be
closed, caused numerous traders to
tighten accounts or stand aside en-
tirely, brokers said. Depressing TO
those who follow the technical
charts was the fact the industrial
average lately has stalled when it
approached so-called resistance
levels" At that, commission houses
indicated buying orders under the
market" were plentiful on the the
ory that, no matter how Tuesdays
balloting goes, the upward indus
trial swing should continue. Climb
ing taxes, though, remained as a
chilling influence On many earnings
compilations.
Prominent stocks on the slip-up
included United States Steel, Beth
lehem, Crucible, Chrysler, Douglas
Aircraft, Du Pont, Dow Chemical,
Allied Chemical and United States
Gypsum.
In the resistant class were West
ern Union, Consolidated Edison,
Public Service of New Jersey, Sears
Roebuck, American Telephone, Cur
tiss-W Wright "a American Can and
Johns -Manville.

Box Office For
Dictator Is
Passing GWTW

NEW YORK-(S N S)-Charlie
Chaplin's new film, THE Great
Dictator now showing at the
Capitol and Astor thea rrs, this
city, chalked up a better box-office
record during it's first week than
the $AtU0llJ0 Gone Wth the
Wind" according to Variety, trade
paper OF the amusement industry.
During the first week, Chaplin'S
film, panned by Tie critics, took in
$1O6,000 at the Capitol alone. This,
according to Variety, is a record for
any week at the Capitol, ne prev
ious high of $105,O00 having been
established by Carlo picture
some years back
With trenN11dous fanfare and
advance publicity, and with Writ
ually unanimous praise of the white
press film critics, Gone With the
Wing crossed only $4,000 during
it's initial week.
The Chaplin film scores oppres-
sion in all its manifestations, and
calls upon the peoples Of all races
to unite for peace, and the aboll-
iaion of greed, hate and intoler-
ance.

Miss Laura Bowman, first lady
of the sepia theatre world, and
president of the actors League pre-
sided at the luncheon table con-
ference. Maceo B. Sheffield, sepla
associate producer of all-sepia cast
films and of vital interest in the
future of sepia-casG films. was the
spear head of the drive backed by
the actors group, t. bring about
assurance of the equitable rights
of actors. producers and exhibitors
in the limited field of sepia cast
film production, presented some
highly illuminating facts on the
plight of all concerned in that
field of industry.
FORM COMBINATIONS
Sheffield charged, that theatre
owners in purely sepia nelghbor-
hoods the nation over, were gull
ty' of forming combinations which
prevented the showing of sepia
cast films with any degree of
profit to the producers. 1t was
pointed out that sinlialr condi-
ton existed right here in the heart
Of the Contra! Avenue Sepla dis
trict. The Lincoln, Bill Robinson,
Savoy. Florence Mills. Rosebud and
Hub theatres, were reported in ac-
cord with the combinations
The newsmen, to the number OF
Is, listened to numerous speakers,
including Norman r. Houston
general manager of the Golden
S5ate Mutual Insurance Company,
point out the glaring facts ana
arfUe the paths toward a solution
to the u oblem that widely affected
the economic welfare of thousands
of persons dependant upon the
fruits Of this struggling enterprise.
Several speakers urged the boycott
or the picket line as a means TO
tring about quick results.
URGE DIRECT METHODS
In the neat of forensic arguments
that dotted the discussions, the di-
rect method of procedure was urged
quite frequently. To those who
al,gggested collection of the
facts" form all branches of the in
dustry to be affected by the tax
ing OF any drastic action, the ac-
cusation of representation" was
shouted.
A portion of the problem COM
fronting the producers of sepia cast
films was shown by statistics show
ing the amount uf sepia cast films
made on the cast and the resultant
salaries paid actors.
Sheffield, said that Hollywood
producers of all-sepia cast films
had seven of their latest complet-
ed films still locked in vaults be-
cause they had no place to show
them. He said several powerful
combinations of exhibitors con-
trolling vital theatres in sepia dis
tricts in the south and east. by in
sisting upon getting the films at a
ridiculously low price, had virtual
ly forced" the producers "out of
business"
The actors group called upon the
press group to carry its message to
the people of the nation urging
them to aid their plight by insist
ing upon theatres showing all
sepia cast films.
