Average Stock Prices

Average of twenty industrials Saturday was 212.55, up .30. Average of twenty rails was 144.96, off .20. Average of forty bonds was 98.94. off .01. Bu United Press NEW YORK. April 30.—April ended with prices irregular on the Stock Exchange. Heavy calling of loans brought the call money rate to 6 per cent, equalling the highest of the year and caused selling late in the day. The market opened strong, rose consistently until the early aftev* noon, reacted, and toward the close recovered sharply. Oils were the features, most of them rising to new high ground for the year or longer. Special issues like Coty and Otis Elevator, made sensational gains. Rails were quieter. United Steel, General Motors and Radio recovered, as did General Electric. Trading Quiet at Noon Trading quieted down and prices turned more irregular around noon as banks called loans heavily, forcing the money rate up to 5 per cent after renewals had been arranged at 5 per cent. Oil issues continued to lead the market, the majority of them rising to new highs for the year or longer. Coty, among the specialties, was carried up more than 19 points to anew high at 168%. while Otis Elevator rose 11 points to 184% and then eased to 181%, up 8. Pacific Gas and Electric made a new high at 53, up 3, while CocaColp, spurted 3 points to 163.

In the Stock Market

(Bv Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, April 30.—We do not know whether the stock market is justified in ignoring some spotiness in business or what is believed to be warnings of the Federal Reserve Board regarding the credit supply, but there are no signs that bullish sentiment is abating. Anew field has been opening to the New York banks for loaning money on call in the Toronto and Montreal stock exchange markets and the American institutions are now interested to the extent of $20,000,000. There seems to be a sound basis for the advance in prices of the oil shares. Conditions in that industry are rapidly growing better and the outlook for stability of earnings is viewed optimistically. Activity in the tobacco group points to what seems to be an oversold condition and as there is in this industry many issues regarded as high class investments further recessions do not appear warranted.

East Is East and West Is West No one knows this better than fliers who have spanned the Atlantic. The hazards a west-bound flier must face are enough to daunt the stoutest heart, far greater than those encountered by an airman making a dash from New York to Europe. Scifence Service will tell about it in Tuesday’s Times. You’ve often wondered why they call the Bremen fliers’ feat as great or greater than Lindy's. Thomas Carroll, America’s leading test pilot, will explain in The Times Tuesday.

WHEAT FUTURES SOAR NEARLY 4 CENTSINMART Corn Nets Gains of More Than 4 Cents; Oats Follows Upturn. CHICAGO, April 30.—Wheat and corn soared into new high ground for the season today, ln one of the most spectacular and tremendous grain markets the Board of Trade has ever seen. Wheat futures advanced 3c to 3 3 /ic, the May delivery reaching the new high price of $1.71%. Corn followed wheat during the early hours, and then shot into a sensational last-minute bulge that ■netted gains of 4c to 4%c. September and July futures t iached new high prices. The September closed at 1.14% and the July at $1.14%. Oats advanced with other grains, uut was depressed by profit-taking, and closed %c lower to l’Ac higher, the May alone losing. Lower Liverpool cables depressed wheat prices slightly at the opening, but there was a sharp rally and prices started their spectacular climb. The frantic efforts of shorts to cover, complicated the situation. Buyings orders came in from all over the country and individual transactions were lost in the tremendous volue of trade. Liverpool failed to follow the upturn. News in corn was of no significance and the market advanced on the strength of wheat. Receipts were surprisingly heavy as high prices are causing farmers to shiji all available supplies. p Oats advanced with other grains and on their own fundamentally strong condition. Stocks are rapidly diminishing and reports indicate damage to the new crop. Provisions advanced slightly. Chicago Grain Table —April 30— WHEAT— Prev. HiCh. Low. 12:00 Close.

Exploitation Men Make Movies, Stars Successes

Harry D. Wilson, former president of the Wampas, is one of Hollywood's best known exploitation men. His firm, headed by Edwin Carewe, offered Queen Marie of Rumania $25,000 for a few minutes’ work in “Resurrection.”

Dolores Del Rio and Carewe Owe Half Their Rise to Publicity. This Is the tenth of a series of twelve articles on the inside of movie making. BY DAN THOMAS NEA Service Writer HOLLYWOOD, Cal., April 28. As soon as work is started on the preparation of a film production, the exploitation men get busy. This branch of the industry, while frowned upon by executives as a necessary evil, actually is one of the most important departments. By the time a picture is ready to be released, there must be a demand for it. This desire on the part of the public to see the film is created solely by exploitation broadcast through newspapers, magazines and radio. The success of a motion picture as well as the players in it is dependent to a large extent upon exploitation. This exploitation, or publicity, can be divided into three classes—first, real news regarding the picture and the players in it; second, feature stories that are written in an interesting manner and have a basic foundation of truth, and third, plain every day press agent “hooey” which has its source in some person’s fertile imagination. Naturally, exploitation isn’t everything. There must be quality in the product. A really good picture will be a financial success regardless of its publicity. But mediocre and poor films have been put over by the proper exploitation. The best example of what publicity will do In the celluloid world can be cited in a group of three people, Harry Wilson, Edwin Carewe and Dolores Del Rio. Two years ago Care ve was a good director who had never had a “break.” Dolores Del Rio was a young Mexican beauty who had not yet tasted success. Today Carewe is one of the leading producer-directors in the business and Miss Del Rio is a star. I am not saying that all the credit for their present positions is due to Harry Wilson, the best exploitation man in Hollywood. Both Carewe and Dolores have ability, and I’ll say that this ability is 50 per cent of the reason for their rise. The reason Wilson is at the top of his profession and that Miss Del Rio and Carewe are at the top of theirs Is because he creates—he doesn’t stoop to “hooey.” About a year ago a mild sensation was created when Carewe offered Queen Marie of Rumania $25,000 to play one day in “Resurrection,” the film he was directing then. That offer was made at the suggestion of Wilson, who had no idea Births Hoys Edward and Eloise Jenkins. St. Vincent Hospital. , Eugene and Regina Morrison. St. Vincent Ho!itai.
