MOVIE IS THE THING ON NEW LYRIC BILL Lew Ayres in ‘Okay America’ on Screen Overshadows the Flesh Actors on the Stage This Week. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN THE talking screen has it all over the fleeh and blood actors on the stage at the Lyric this week. "Okay America" is not just another story of what a bitter but powerful New York daily columnist goes through, but it is compelling and interesting theater from the start. There may be too many of these columnist movies being released hut “Okay America" is one that is full of melodrama lots of suspense, splendid newspaper and gang types and lot of snappy dialogue. The fact is I got as much “kick" out of this one as I did out of “The Front Page.” The newspaper atmosphere rings true as to types and methods

as well as conversation. Os course lots of theatrical license is thrown in but on the whole the editorial room scenes ring true to life as lived today in a large newspaper. A V r e s . certainly

wins as the breezy and rather heartless columnist who also broadcasts his hot remarks nightly. When the underwoild takes a hand, the melodrama becomes hot and thick, but it still is interest ing theater. You will enjoy seeing Walter Catlett get away with the job of being a city editor. He succeeds

becavtee this city ed has to take the jokes from the upper staff—those special editors, oh me, oh my. Maureen O’Sullivan is the secretary to the columnist who goes haywire over her bass. Margaret Lindsay is the kidnaped girl. Other well known players such as Nance O’Neill, Allan Dinehart, Henry Armetta, Benton Churchill and others are in the cast. Watch the work of Rollo Lloyd as the drunk. You will have lots of entertainment watching “Okay America” if you are not fed up on this type of movie theater. The vaudeville bill is just so so. The two winning acts are the first

MAN N£IW‘n°MOI\ALS HV’By Jane JokdAn /P.

IP you crave an outside viewpoint on your problems, ask Jane Jordan for an opinion. What is it that needs airing in your life? Write your letter now! Dear Jane Jordan—Years ago when my first child was small, my husband was disloyal to me. When he sholud have taken the place of a husband, father, and protector, he turned yellow. It was then that I realized I had nothing to lean on. I could get more advice and consolation from a stranger than I did from him. I'd love so much to have hii sit and talk with me for a while after the dishes are done and the children are in bed, but no, his heart and his mind seemed to be downtown or anywhere besides home. He sleeps late In the morning. Crawls out after fires have been' made and the house nice and warm and the children of! to school and out of his way. He shifts burdens and responsibilities and always shows up after the storm is over. Comes home around midnight, after it’s too late to go anywhere else My ideal husband would be a man among men. He would go to church and belong to at least one good lodge. He would spend some of his time with his w ife, and, above all. be a pal'ano companion to his children. Wnnt have you to say? MOTHER GRAY. Dear Mother Gray—l long ago decided that the most cruel thing a man can do to a woman is to condemn her to live by his side in tragic loneliness. The thing that wounds the heart of woman more deeply than anything else is to be shut out of the minds and hearts of her loved ones. Woman craves the protection of man, and she needs his counsel for her guidance. She does not want to rely on herself, but on the man whom she chose out of all the world to share her life. In her heart it does not displease her to obey him if he enjoys her respect and confidence. Without someone outside herself whom she loves and tty whom she is loved, the flame that burns within her

flickers and burns out. The av e rage man is bored by domestic duties. When the house

He Flees Mess of Own Making

fills up with troublesome children, dirty dishes and a thousand and one disagreeable tasks, he puts on his hat and escapes what to him is a sordid mess. It makes no difference to him that the mess is of his making. The thing to do is to escape, by fair means or foul. , He seckS his pleasures with other men. and with women not burdened by child bearing. He Is a playboy in search of light-hearted pleasures instead of dull duties. When his wife* is worn thin by housekeeping and baby-tending, he makes no effort to hide his di.sapponit.ment, but avoids her as diligently as possible. For the wife there is no escape. Her instinct is to sacrifice herself to the care of the man and their chil-

dren. All that she asks in return for the most slavish labor is his pro tection and c. o m p aninoship.

She Wants Some One to Confide In

She longs for the right to confide in him and be taken into his confidence in turn. Poverty is of no moment to her, provided this close relationship exists.

and the last. Marinoff has done something new with a dog act. All of the dogs are dressed in character, even wearing shoes and boots. The dogs travesty on the Voga Boatmen is a gem. The dogs dressed as Russian boatmen, come on pulling a rope—the ropes’ end held a struggling cat. Marinoff's idea of using a puppet as ring master for the dogs is a clever idea. The last act is the Arleys, a circus act of merit when it comes to pole and head balancing. Kenneth Harlan and A1 St. John, players from Hollywood, reflect that lack of knowledge of what is entertainment on the variety stage. Their material is often pointless and most of the time minus real comedy. The dance revue of Miss Sharon Devries is the regulation type. The act would be better if the woman doing the eccentric song number was elimimtfed. That is poor stuff. Jones and Rea go in for hokum comedy. An average act.

Lew Ayres

For her there are not important pleasures outside the portals of her own home. The poker table holds no allure; she finds no escape in alcohol; she wants no arms except those that belong to her. Once in a while woman is lucky enough to find a mate who responds to her love and satisfies her longings. When she does, she is content and acknowledges her good fortune to the world with unstinted praise. Below is a letter which presents the other side of the picture: Dear Jane Jordan —I want to write a few lines to “Just Plain Miss 23. ’• I want her to know that I am married to her ideal man.

DICKERS SON IS RETIRED AS BRITISfUUDGE Reached Deeply Respected Heights in Profession Father Despised. By I nitrd Press LONDON, Oct. 18.—With the re- ; tirement from public office today of | Sir Henry Fielding Dickens, Lon- | don’s famous Old Bailey loses one of the most deeply respected judges . it has ever had. Sir Henry is the only surviving j-Child of Charles Dickens. He is 83, and has been connected with the Old Bailey for fifteen years as comnfon sergeant, an important office j which he has discharged with a mix- ; ture of humor,/sternness, tolerance : and unfailing courtesy. In the pages of Charles Dickens’ I books, Buzfuz, Sidney Cartoh, Wick- ! field and Dobson and Fogg all remind readers that the author held little regard for the profession of law. Knows of Tragedies That his sixth son made such a thorough success of a legal career could not, however, have disappointjed Dickens. He lived only .long enough to see the boy begin *his caj reer with brilliant academic suc- | cesses at Cambridge. Sir Henry Dickens' recollections I of his legal life on the verge of- his retirement today, extremely are diverse. Asa discerning and sympathetic judge he has peered straight into fthe heart of a hundred tragedies. Among the most vivid of Sir Henry’s legal memories surely must be that once he prosecuted a case which his son defended. Once he was counsel ifi a proceeding in which the chief witness was a man named Pickwick —one of the thinnest men ever to step into the witness box. Born in 1849 And once Sir Henry heard a deranged prisoner shout at him: “I know you, Mr. Dickens. Your father was a gentleman and wrote some good books. But you’re not a patch on the old man!” t The business of being his father’s son has, on the whole, been more pleasant than unpleasant, more pdvantageous than not. Dickens admits that his father's fame kept him out of literature. Rather than be light in the field of letters, he went to the law where he wouldn’t have to compete with Charles Dickens’ reputation. Sir Henry was boi. in 1849 at the time his father was writing “David Copperfield.” HIT BY STREET CAR Woman Critically Injured in East Washington Accident.

EATON WAGES WAR ON INSULL

Power King Pours Millions Into Market in Epic Fight

Sam Instill had no option but to fight back when Cyrus Eaton, Cleveland financier, offered the challenge. But Insull fought on two fronts—pumping money into the market at the same time that he bought, bought, bought stock—while Eaton waged the campaign on only one. Eaton. oft-manner#d as a suburban Baptist preacher, but relentless. Insull. a relative greenhorn in the subtle business of speculation—the battle for supremacy between these two contrasting tvpcs. Forrest Davis reports in today's article.

BY FORREST DAVIS Times Staff Writer (Copyright. 1932. bv th* Ney York WorldTelegram Corporation) SAM INSULL'S money need mounted geometrically in the calamitous autumns of 1929. He had, in fighting Cyrus Eaton, got a bear by the tail, and he couldn’t let go. His treasury, renewed periodically by the magic of stock issues, seemed to empty even faster than it filled. That plague business of “supporting the market” took all a man’s courage and wit. The power king was discovering, as did Kreuger, the match king, that pouring millions into a contrariwise, headstrong market was equivalent to pouring sand in a rathole. Yet it had become a disheartening necessity for Insull. If the price of millions of shares in what was getting to be a myriad of corporations did not stand up, how interest the public in new issues? And new issues were imperatively needed to supply fresh money to bolster the market. It became, as Insull must have apprehended, a hazardous circle of futility. There stood Cy Eaton, native of Pugwash, Nova Scotia, soft-man-nered as a suburban Baptist preacher but relentless as any Wall Street pirate of the nineteenth century; Eaton, buttressed by steel, utility and banking millions in Cleveland, standing patiently just outside the ramparts of Insull’s dynastic holdings. Eaton, at 45, an old hand at the game of stock market marauding, glacial, reserved, winning all the skirmishes as he would in the end carry off the honors in this epical strife. Insull, rising, 70, but a relative greenhorn at this subtle business, losing steadily, beaten back, forced increasingly to -enlist the public money in his fight. * u THERE they were ranged as the December nor’easters w'hipped Lake Michigan into whitecaps in 1929 and La Salle street, responsive to the debacle in Wall Street, rang with exciting rumors; the frantic ballyhoo for new Insull securities. Insull still held the fort; his house flag still flew above Commonwealth Edison, People’s Gas, Public service, Middle West Utilities and a hundred operating subsidiaries. He still supported the market, held it relatively steady in the trying days of October and early November, when wave after Vave of selling deluged Wall Street; held it steady at Lord knows what cost in anxiety and the people’s money. . Insull fought on two fronts; Eaton on but one. The power king must pump money into the market to keep prices up. He at the same time bought, bought, bought into the three key properties in Chicago to withhold control from Eaton. Between Sept. 28 and Nov. 15 the warfare along the first front proved incessant. On the earlier date, Insull promised a ten-for-one splitup in Middle West stock as of the latter date. Rights were given to holders of four shares to buy one at S2OO. Middle West skyrocketed to 570 and promptly fell away. In October, when the couniry-wide liquidation struck La Salle street, Middle West wavered, weakened and would have sunk below 200. n tt u IT was a critical moment. If the price went below 200, rights would not be taken up. Insull needed the expected cash desperately. The house of Insull manned the pumps. Buying orders swamped the Insun brokers. Middle West responded. shot up above 200. Chicago acclaimed Insull, that oak, in a speculative storm, and took up the rights. Middle West gained $95,000,000 from the shareholders; retired $20,000,000 in gold notes due on Dec. 2. Small wonder that Insull—Aladdin, Santa Claus and Lorenzo the Magnificent—beamed with selfsatisfaction on the night of Nov. 4, when the elect of a grateful Chicago joined him in opening

Sam Insull, hi December, 1928, turning on the world’s largest gas holder of the People's Gas, one of the organizations involved in his battle with Eaton. his Civic opera house—a great gilt and bronze temple which, it is melancholy to reflect, will be dark this season. Insull’s friends recall that he hoped fondly orl the night of Nov. 4 that the worst of the danger had passed. What he did not recognize, and what is seen now only as figures come, to light, is that Eaton, calling off his campaign temporarily during the fifty-day runaway market in midsummer, had consolidated his 'position; and that Insull, bulling that market with the bulls, had contributed heavily to his eventful downfall. In 1929 Eaton bought Common-wedth-Edison, 66,435 shares at an average price of $244; he bought People’s Gas, 45,300 shares, at $245, and Public Service, averaging, 11,920 shares, at - $234.50. Meanwhile Insull was paying up to $334 for Commomvealth-Edi-son; up to $296 for People’s Gas; $293 for Public Service. Eaton, the outsider, fought a guerrilla, running campaign; Insulj was hurling his resources, frontally and in mass. tt n TNSULL’S self-assurance was not -*• permitted to glow unfretted for long after the memorable opening night at the opera. On Nov. 13, when Wall street again sustained a panic day, Insull was called upon peremptorily for $3,000,000 to support Middle West. What it cost to support Insull Utility Investment, Inc.; Corporation Securities, Inc.—the investment trusts wherefrom he derived the major part v of the sinews of war—during those whirling days no one has been able to calculate up to this time. The market heaved lumpishly downward. There was no end to the amount required to hold these shares, Middle West and the others, at attractive levels. When prices reached a level which many shrewd operators and not a few bankers believed to be a bottom. Eaton renewed his offensive. That was in December. In that month Insull offered a new issue of $60,000,000,000 in Insull Investment SIOO debentures. The debentures carried common stock bonuses. It was incumbent upon Insull to hold up the price • of Insull Investment common stock of previous issues until the new market was “made.” On Dec. 21, 1929, Harold L. Stuart, principal partner in Halsey, Stuart & Cos., investment bankers, remained “S. I.” in a letter of his obligation to “support the market” during the marketing. With each new issue—and they tumbled thick and fast from the engravers in 1929 and 1920—the market grew less wieldy, the general downward trend of securities prices more difficult to stem. Halsey, Stuart, as formidably respectable a house in Chicago as Lee, Higginson in Boston before the Kreuger trouble burst, constantly had issued the senior

securities for Insull utilities. It was a departure for so constructive a house to handle the debentures of an investment trust. Yet. so persuasive was Insull’s optimism, so towering his prestige, that Stuart agreed without reluctance to lend his house’s reputation to the adventure. a a “AIR. INSULL was the most remarkable business man I ever dealt with,” Stuart told me, in Chicago, two weeks ago, with the ruin of the Insull empire spread all about in La Salle street. “I do not believe he was dishonest. He tvas a genuine opti* •mist; he believed that things w’ere coming out all right, and, moreover, he submitted figures and facts which made it all seem certaiii.” Insull undoubtedly banked on the New Era’s return in the winter and spring of 1929-1930. He had to, or else abdicate, anticipating his exile by more than two years. There was no alternative. He raised money everywhere. He got $60,000,000 from Europe—s2o,ooo,ooo in his native England,

where he maintained Insull, Son & Co.,'Ltd., in the city of London; double that sum from Paris, Holland, the Swiss. He tempted the acquisitiveness of influential Chicagoans—bankers, investment house managers, industrialists, politicians by “letting / in” on underwriting syndicates requiring a minimum of cash and providing as high as 51 per cent profit. u n n AS one example of many: Insufi’s preferred list subscribed in September, 1929, to 477,730 shares of common at S2OO a share. The subscribers paid 6 per cent and when, in January, 1930. the transfer to the public having been completed, the syndicate was liquidated, the speculators drew down a profit of 25 per cent on the money actually paid. This was part of the ten-for-one splitup. The proved hard for Insull. Eaton continued to buy, not in alarming quantities, but actively. He bought whenever a flurry carried the stocks of the key companies to a momentary low that seemed profitable. Insull bristled at each new foray, buying, and hence bulling, the price back up. Eaton was adroit; Insull stubborn. In that winter the conviction deepened in Insull—or, at least, he made it appear so—that Eaton was acting merely as agent for the dreaded “New York bankers.’ When Eaton visited Insull at the power king's request in 1930 to talk peace, Insull demanded to have his suspicion verified. Eaton, it is said, complied, for his own reasons. Eaton's triumph and the period of desperate, rearguard fighting which accompanied and followed that event will be the subject of t|ie next chapter in “The Rise and Fall of the House of Insull.” Government tests show that acids, even in minute quantities, cause papers to deteriorate so that they will not stand much folding.

GHOST ‘CLEW - JUST MAN ON POSSUM HUNT Another ‘Phantom’ Prospect Proves Fraternity Pledge Proving Courage. Here it is: Ghost story No. 3. and it's just as dizzy as the other two. Search still is being made for Indianapolis’ phantom girl, and today five youths, who were among the curious at the cemetery oa Monday night, tell this story. They were near Thirty-eighth street and Northwestern avenue, where the ghost is supposed to have been seen in the last two weeks. Peering into the darkness they saw —not a ghost but a man waving his arms frantically. They rushed to the scene, hoping he was signaling for aid in catching the ghost. Help Capture Possum But it wasn't the case. The man had his eye on a possum, and with the quintet’s aid staged the capture. The boys offer it to the public as another link in possible solution of the tale. The boys were Charles and Fredrick Harris, 227 Hiawatha street; Glenn Reynolds. 312 North Califorian street; Fred Corm, 1024 West New York street, and Dan Lupear, 235 Hanson avenue. In the meantime the ghosting resulted in a fraternity putting a pledge through the ropes Monday night. With all the interest created by the ghost, the fraternity brothers garbed the candidate in a sheet and made him frequent the vicinity. Hunt ‘Phantom Girl’ He was chased by motorists, and shed his garb in flight. Members of the fraternity, standing by to watch the sensation, explained the pledge's actions. The ghost story originated after tales were told of a “phantom” young woman, who disappeared from automobiles near the graveyard after she had been given rides to an address, it is said, of a girl of the description who died more than three weeks ago.
