Bu United Press NEW YORK, April 23.—Stocks were irregular at the start of the new week, but many substantial advances were scored. Selling was heavy in the leaders after a firm opening.

Radio opened up 7 at 179 and then j dropped to 170. Describing the market the Wall Street Journal’s financial review j said today: “Widespread discussion took place I over the week-end regarding the ul- j timate effect of the Federal Re- j serve credit policy. It was recalled that advances in the rediscount rates have usually been followed by periods of unsettlement in the stock market. This consideration caused an accumulation of selling orders during the two-day suspension of trading and substantial declines took place in the principal trading stocks at the start of the ; new week.” List Raiiies A moderate rally occurred in the late morning. American Tobacco “B” rose from its low of 156 to 161, off 7%, and the common recovered 3 points of its early less, other tobacco shares making proportionate recoveries. At the came time a buying move- • ment sprang up in Mexican Sea- ; board, sending the issue up 2% j points to 25. Radio came back to 175, vp 3 after touching 170. Warner Brothers Pictures and United States Leather made new highs for the year.

In the Stock Market

NEW YORK, April 23.—Trade re- i ports for the week just ended were uniformly constructive: agricultural j prices moved upward while in the ; basic industries as steel and motors, high production was maintained. It is mostly in the railroads that no improvement is noted; there carloadings were lower and more freight cars idle. In finance, so far as the stock market is concerned, one more reserve district advanced its discount rate and the remaining ones will probably follow. This strongly indicates the trend toward construction of stock market credit and, sooner or later, if this trend be continued will reflect adversely in stock market valuation. During the past week it was evident that many traders regarded the taking of profits and the reduction of commitments to be the safest course until the time when stock prices adjust themselves to the demand of the money market.' “ In the Cotton Market (By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. April 23.—Conditions did not improve over the week end. The croo is being seriously delayed. Such reactions as occur are caused by profittaking only. There are not enough contracts offered to supply the demand which another week of unsettled weather will create except at a price much above 20 cents. Local Wagon Wheat Local grain elevators are paying $1.84 for No. 2 red wheat. Other grades are purchased on their merits. DICKINSON RITES SET Stock Land Bank Official Is Claimed by Death.

In the Sugar Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. April 23 —For those who hud believed that the market had been firmly stablished at previous quotations the sale of some Cuban and Porto Rican sugars below the prevailing rates was disappointing. Refiners, of course, are not in the market aggressively nor can it be said that anv tonnage is being pressed. It would seem that the market as a whole is awaiting developments and many are puzzled as to what may occur in the way of notices to be made Tuesday. It would seem to some as if the beat trading possibilijffis are in futures.

WHEAT FIRST IN SLIGHT UPTURN IN 0P PITS All Futures Advance Fractionally on Chicago Board of Trade. Bu United Press CHICAGO, April 23.—Wheat led a fractional advance in grain futures at today’s opening on Board of Trade. The bulge was largely due to short covering by traders who had “sold short” Saturday in expectation of decided weakness today. Opening figures were: Wheat, % to 94c higher: corn, % to %c up, and oats, %c higher. Provisions opened about unchanged. Southwest winter wheat received more rain than over the week-end, but the trade still believes that sections where drought was most imminent are still in need of moisture. Liverpool was about as expected this morning. Corn and oats advanced largely on the strength in wheat. Cash demand for corn slumped sharply Saturday and this development was reflected in a weakness of undertone today. Cash demand for oats is also being depressed by large-receipts. The situation is fundamentally bullish, with stocks low and the crop damaged, but farmers are shipping all the oats they can scrape together to take advantage of the prevailing high prices.

Unseen Stars of Movieland Play Important Roles Behind Scenes

‘Juicers/ Script Girls and Prop Men as Necessary as Actors. The buzz of activity about a set when a film is being "shot” Is described in this story, the sixth In a series of twelve articles on movie making. BY DAN THOMAS NEA Service Writer HOLLYWOOD, Cal., April 23. The unseen stars of movieland. These are the numbers of men and women who swarm around motion picture sets like bees around a hive. Every one of them is there for a purpose. They never are seen on the scre<?h and seldom are heard of, but they have their work to perform just as the actors, directors and cameramen have their duties. There are the electricians—“juicers” they’re called in celluloidia —prop boys, script girls, musicians, carpenters, laborers and supervisors. All are kept busy—except the supervisors. The supervisors being the least important of all, I will deal with them first and get them out of the way. The mere thought of them annoys most people connected with the pictures. Why Is a Supervisor? Just exactly what a supervisor is supposed to do, nobody in all movieland knows. Theoretically he is king of his unit. As his title implies, he is supposed to supervise produc-

tion, keeping costs low and quality high. Asa matter of fact the majority of supervisors spend most of their time on the golf links because the directors don’t want them around. When they are on the set they usually'are little more than visitors—because they know even less than the directors. The “juicers” are very important to a film unit. Their job is to man the lights. The number of “juicers” on a set varies with its size, usually one man to every two lights used. They must keep the carbons in the kleigs trimmed and the lights otherwise in perfect order so that they will not flicker or go out during the shooting of a scene. Even a flicker of the lights will ruin a scene so that it will have to be shot over again. With the gradual introduction of incandescent lights “juicers” are beginning to look elsewhere for work. One man can work eight or ten of the new lamps. Script Girls Important Script girls have always impressed me as being worthy of far more attention than they get. So often they appear to be doing nothing. Yet when a director asks, they can tell him exactly what happened in scene 82 and how much footage was shot. It is up to them to record a description of every set, giving the exact location of every article in jt so that it can be duplicated in

case the scene must be retaken at a later time. They also must record every bit of action in each scene and the amount of film required to shoot it. A picture rarely is filmed in chronological order, as such a procedure would require too much time and expense. There may be scenes in one room at intervals throughout a picture when it reaches the screen. Yet these scenes are shot one after the other in the making. Prop boys spend most of their time waiting on the important players. And when they aren’t doing that they are running errands, getting articles from the property and wardrobe departments and a dozen other incidental things. The musicians, of course, do nothing but furnish the music. Directors always have music on the set, claiming it is an aid to acting. There are always a few carpenters retained on a set to repair any articles that happen to be broken while a scene is being filmed. And laborers are reeded to wipe footprints off the floors, dust furniture and do other oud jobs. Os late, the canjeraman has been coming into his own—his work is being recognized. Photography will be the subject of tomorrow’s story.
