MARX BROTHERS IN
BIG NEW LAUGH HIT

The Marx Brothers are at it
again, this time in their latest mu-
steal funfest, The Big Store" With
lavish program of five musical
numbers and comedy sequences on
a par with the best Marx efforts of
the past, the picture proved one
of the seasons outstanding pieces
of entertainment.
The story finds Groucho as Wolf
J. Flywheel, private detective, as
sisted by Chico and Harpo, at
tempting to guard Tony Martin
from a ruthless killer in a de-
partment store. The. boys finally
make good, after many doubtful
moments and capture the villain.
AS a result, Groucho also wins the
hand and wealth of Margaret Du-
mont, back in her usual role as foil
for GrOucho's mad WONG.
Musical highlight sare Harpo's
harp solos and Chico's piano num-
bers-they appear at their favorite
instruments twice in this picture
and Martins two songs. Virginia
O'Brien, dead-pan torch singer,
also makes a hit with novelty
tune.
Virginia Grey scores as the ro-
mantle lead opposite Martin, with
Douglass Dumbrille, William Tan
men, Marion Martin and Henry
Armetta outstanding in supporting
roles. Largely responsible for the
success of the film is the direction
of Charles Riesner. the production
of Louis X. Sidney and the photog-
raphy of Chas. Lawton.
Comedy reaches it's peak in a
hilarious bed display scene, with
the Marxes having fun mixing 46
children of all nationalities in
group of folding wall beds the like
of which have never been seen be-
fore.

Chm. FLYNN WARNS
AGAINST FEUDS And
URGES PARTY UNITY
c oming Congressional
Elections Most Import
ant In 20 Years

Organization and party unity
were the thoughts uppermost in
the mind of Edward J. Flynn, chair
man of the Democratic National
Committee when he started out
recently to hold a series of con-
ferences with Democratic leaders
in over Is Western States.
This journey of mine is more
than the usual pilgrimage of an
organization official concerned
with the preparations for an cleo
ton" said Mr.. Flynn, as he ad-
dressed gathering of Democratic
representative from eleven West
ern States, in Salt Lake City.
This congressional election
next year." he continued, lis prob
ably the most important that has
been held in 20 years. Then the
country was confronted with the
dawning of national peril that
threatened the destruction of the
American Union. Today it faces
another peril perhaps as great
and menacing as that that cast its
shadow over the country when the
problem was the choosing of a
Congress to support Abraham Lin
coin in dealing with the problem
Of preserving the fabric of the u.
S.
"You might ask what this has to
do with politics and why the Chair
man of the Democratic National
Committee should present it to the
Democrats of eleven states. The
explanation is: That l wish to i'm
press on the West Coast Democrats
the gravity of the questions that
the coming Congress will have to
consider to the end that they will
share to the full the concern which
every American must feel what the
future has in store for us. What
that future is going to be nobody
can foretell with certainty.
LAS the President has pointed
out, the international raiders can
never succeed in their project of
world domination unless they first
obtain control of the seas, and
that control cannot be-without
first having made Great Britain
powerless.
That is why l am asking you to
perfect your organizations to the
end that the vote Of every Demo
crat and the vote of all those-re-
gardless of party-who feel the OBJ
LEGATION to sustain the President
shall be recorded for our nominees u

| Plans Further
| Production Boost
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. Aug. Am official
of Celanese Corp. of America said
today the company had increased its
production of synthetic yarns con-
siderably in the last year and that
the trend during the coming year
would be upward.
The biggest percentage increase
will be at the Celco, Va, plant,
where the 2,100 employees will be in
creased to 4.100 within a year. he
said. A cellulose acetate plant under
construction there is expected to be
ready by the end of l94l.
At Cumberland, Md. the company
has about 1000 employees, an in
crease of 1000 over the total a year
ago.
THAT approximates the ratio of
increased production during the past
year." the official said. I'VE expect
the trend to continue upward at
about that rate-if we can get raw
materials"
The company representative said
considerable production was going
into defense work, but only indirect
ly, listing electrical equipment and
parachutes as the chief users.

Dealings were moderately lively
at times, with slow intervals fre'
quent. Transfers for the full pro-
ceedings were around $4,000 shares.
A drop in this weeks estimated

strain stocks in this category. The
decrease was said to have been dug
mainly to lack of scrap material.

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PRESS.
An Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion examiper recommended today
a reorganization plan for the Flor
ida East Cuast Railway Co. calling
for a reduction in capitalization
from $95,616,O0O to s37,000,000.
The examiner, Ralph H. Jewell.
said his recommendation to the
commission was similar with few
recommendations to the plan pro-
posed by the Deposit Committee for
the first and refunding mortgage
per cent bonds.
Present fixed interest charges
would be reduced from $2,823 .480
to $483, ,480. The latter sum could
be increased, however, to $513, ,480
under a provision raising the in
terest rate on fixed interest bearing
bonds whenever income available
for fixed charges equals or exceeds
81 ,250,000 year for any two con-
secutive years after consummation
of the plan. The recommended ef-
fective date of the plan is Janu-
ary /.
Capitalization Structure.
The proposed capitalization is:
Equipment notes, $1,116,600; first
mortgage series A bonds, $4,000 600;
general mortgage series A bonds, $4,-
