Anita Sagen played the part of the
actress, Helen Adams, and Pat Saw
age was her former leading man,
Paul Jackson. Her guests at the

Jane and Joe MeEnroe. Jane was

Jim McCracken was Donald Clark,

and so tinkered with airplanes in
stead of working. and finally won
over Helen in the end. Hazel Mac
key, portrayed the superstitlous
colored maid, Betsy, whose fears
provided lot of laughs for the
crowd. Equally amazing was the
role played by Bob Gilchrist. Bob
was Chauncey, a lunatic who broke
into the scene several times, fright
ening the superstitious Betsy and
several of the other cast-members
alike. Marilyn Cone was Vivien
Cole, the stage-struck young lady
who married Paul Jackson in the
end Dorothy Tallmadge played the
part of Eustacia Valentine. an
equally stage-struck village char
acter who took elocution lessons
from Paul. Pat Bartlett was the
naughty Miss Jean Cramer, Don
AIDS aunt, and Gladys Shelstad was
Dorothy Masters, who had hoped
to marry Donald. June Carr was
Amelia Cobble, neighbor woman
who accused the actors and actress
es of letting their ghosts modest her
property, and Armand Hamel was
her boy-friend, Abner Lukes. who
finally worked up enough courage
to marry her in the end.

Chain and Mail Order
Sales Off Slightly
During August

August chain store and mail order
sales aggregating s1,085,00 were /
per cent below the July total and S
per cent under a year ago, the Com
merce Department reported today.
For the first eight months Of the
year such sales about equaled those
in the corresponding period of 1912,
although after allowance for price
rises the physical volume of goods
sold was down about per cent, the
Department said.
Compared with a year ago sales
of shoe stores were off about one
fifth and grocery stores, one-eighth,
but substantial gains were reported
for drug stores, auto accessory, res
taurants and Womens apparel
stores.
Chain store inventories rose
sharply during the month, the De-

Steel Mills Absorb
New Plate Orders
By Cutbacks
BY the Associated Press.


CLEVELAND. Oct. 11.-Schedul-
ing officials have been asked for an
additional 10000 tons of steel plates
for the fourth quarter, and mills are
absorbing this tonnage through
cutbacks and actual cancellations,
the magazine Steel reported today
"In the case of sheet directives
the recent cut of 10 per cent in ton
mage will be Of assistance" the trade
publication continued. Plate pro-
duction is expected to increase from
some additions in productive capac-
ity and further diversion of strip
mill capacity to plates.
THE stringency is expected to
ease after the turn of the year as
most of the plate expansion program
is put in operation. While opinions
vary as to the extent of the pro-
gram it should add at least 10000
tons monthly to capacity and per-
haps as much as 100000 tons. 1t is
possible requirements will have been
stepped up sufficiently to absorb all
the increase, leaving the pressure
as heavy as before. Such added re-
quirements are not now apparent,
and there is possibility of cut
back, curtailment in the escort
ship program for the first quarter
being in prospect
National ingot production again
was unchanged last week at 991a per
cent of Steel's estimate of capacity.
The Wheeling district was the only
one to advance, climbing points
to 104 per cent. Declines were at
Detroit, roints to SO; Cincinnati, 3
points to 81; Cleveland, l point to
941z; Birmingham. points to 95,
and Eastern Pennsylvania, l point
to 95. Unchanged rates were Pitts
burgh, 100; st. Louis, 90; Chicago,
991a; youngstown. 97; Buffalo, 90l2
