REFINANCING IS SUCCESS; WHITE HOUSUUBILANT $950,000,000 in Government Bonds Are Quickly Oversubscribed. B\J Cnit*4 Vmn WASHINGTON, Dec. 8 —Treasury officials were freed today for a renewal of governments gold program through which it is hoped to raise prices after prompt sale of $950,000,000 of new government securities, disposing of pressing refinancing problems until spring. Neither the White House nor treasury officials hid their satisfaction over the one-day oversubscription of the new securities in the face of declining market for United States bonds and widespread monetary uncertainty. By offering an interest rate of 2!* per cent the government was able to close the subscription books last night on its refinancing issue of one- , year treasury certificates, only offered less than twelve hours before. Most government security offerings in the past have been oversubscribed in one business day. Gold Price Steady Acting secretary’ of the treasury, Henry Morgenthau, Jr., turned immediately to the administration’s gold buying policy, which has been checked in recent weeks coincident with declining government bond prices, including yesterday the domestic gold buying price was held for six days at $34.01 an ounce. Foreign gold purchases continued extremely light. With the December financing out of the way. it was believed the government would now proceed more rapidly, but officials refused to comment as to the immediate future policy along these lines. Another pressing matter w’as the finding of a successor for Assistant Secretary of Treasury Thomas Hewes, who was expected to resign within the next few days. To Tax Liquor Meanwhile, Morgenthau prepared to go before the house ways and means committee to submit treasury recommendations for tax reforms being worked out by Roswell Magill, the treasury’s newly appointed tax expert. Also under close study were the proposed taxes to be imposed on liquor wdth the convening of congress in an effort to collect some additional $500,000,000 in revenue. Notices were sent to internal revenue collectors last night by Commissioner Guy T. Helvering, calling their attention to the repeal of special taxes as a result of repeal. Y. M. C. A.

Howard Thurston Still Is Top-Notcher on the Stage With His Bag of Tricks

Famed Magician Draws Family Trade to Indiana, Where He Is Putting on His Great Act; Daughter Jane Wins Laurels in Her Own Right. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN The most successful theater in the world today is that which attracts family trade. And that’s just why Howard Thurston and his daughter Jane stand at the very top of this branch of entertainment. There is nothing more thrilling than to see Thurston open his bag of tricks before a large audience of children and adults.

Last night when I caught the second show of the day for Thurston and his company, I saw more children and full family groups than 1 have seen in the theater since he was last here. The finest of clean entertainment is offered by Thurston this season and every season. Many of his tricks

and illusions have been on his program for many en now nobody can take an audience into the “land of make believe as easily as this man. I have marveled at his control crystal ball during his ’wellknown spirit cabinet number, but he never did it as well as this season. He takes the

Jm mm

crystal ball right into the audience and while standing in the middle of the large auditorium of the Indiana theatre, commands the crystal ball to return to the stage. Never has he gone to this length in the tech-, nique of his genius. One of His Thrillers Thurston still is able to get a lot of natural laughs from many children while sawing a woman into tw’o parts. He even goes beyond that and permits the audience to see through a woman. Both are splendid mechanical and cabinet illusions. One of Thurston’s most thrilling stunts is when he thrusts a steel rod through a woman's body. The magician is a master at creating realistic impressions. His equipment always looks new and he owns more rights to illusions and tricks than any man on the stage. With ease, he transposes the head of a duck to the body of a rooster and the rooster’s head to the duck’s body. He’s Still the Leader Thurston stands supreme in one major illusion which never has tired me even though I've seen it dozens of times. That’s when he causes a woman to float in midair and then disappear. His closing illusion is to make a w’oman in a prayer cage vanish in midair and then reappear in a box suspended over the head of the audience. Miss Jane Thurston has advanced in the art which her father has developed so skillfully for so many years. Her tricks this year run to things which her father has done in the past. She rapidly is becoming a

good and pleasing magician in her own right. Mr. Thurston is a busy man while in Indianapolis, as he does many I things out of the theater. His schedule is as follow’s: Today, an interview by me over WKBF at 1 o'oclock. With his daughter Jane he will take part in a fifteen-minute broadcast over WFBM at 6:30 p. m. Tomorrow, he w’ill make special fruit drop candy gifts to all children attending the 2:30 p. m. performance at the Indiana. Monday, he w'ill entertain Indianapolis Star crippled children with a matinee performance. Tuesday, Thurston’s eleven assistants will appear at the Riley hospittal to perform for the children. The screen show’ at the Indiana presents Irene Dunne in “If I Were Free.’” Ed Resener gets some pleasant results out of the orchestra in the pit. o n tt At Other Theaters Other theaters today offer: Otto Kruger in “The Women In His Life,” at the Palace; Chicago
