Wall Street Today
l'ncertainty over the domestic busi-
ness situation and the election in
Minnesota. were contributing factors in
the heaviness of prices during the
forcnoon. _
Prices were irregular at the opening
of today's stock market with the
majority moving lower, particularly
the rails shares. In no instance was
the change greater than 1-: point. Oil
stocks were slightly improved.
The market displayed a. more,
general weakness in the secondary
dealings. declines of a. point or more
by U. 8. Steel. Bethlehem and Gulf
States Steel undermined confidence
and encouraged short selling’in the
balance of the list. Loses of one
to two points were established ‘by
many leading shines. including Am-
erican’ Locomotive. and Bnidwin.
Foreign exchange rates opened low-
er.
Edmund Breese of Chestnut Hill.
Nor-walk, has just. returned from
playing a very successful role in the
very successful New York play, "So
This Is London." Mr. Breese gave
some interesting sidelights on the
stage and moving picture. He told'
the Sentinel reporter ofpe old com-
panies that used to play here in Nor-
walk. ' ° ’ the best known being
the Knickerbocker Stock company.
which played at Hoyt’s meatre until
about the year 1906.
When asked as to just why the
small towns do not support stock
companies nowadays. Mr. Breese said
that. when the moving pictures were
invented. they appealed more to the
foreign element in the town. because
itdid not have to depend upon read-
ing the subtitles or listening to the
actors talk, to understand. and to
enjoy the story. People could drop in
It any time. even in tho middle of a
picture and the interest would be
enough to hold them until the end.
and then they could stay and see the
first part of the picture repeated so
as to get a. connected. meaningful
whole. In a stock company play. on
the other hand. when the curtain goes
down on the last act, that's all there
is to it.
The reason Nor-wall: does not have
so many onomight stand plays here
is that only the wealthier class can
afford to and care to attend them. and
' ‘ ‘ there are not enough of them
to support the plays. Naturally a
theatre manager will cater to all. and
not merely to a select crowd. Just as
a restaurant owner would never think
of serving only dinners in his restau-
rant. for if he did he would soon so
out of business. but must serve three
meals a day at reasonable. prices. so
must the theatre managers put on
plays that will appeal to the major-
ity. «’
Perhaps the older residents of this
city will remember Mr. Forbes; the
popular leading man of the last. stock
company that played here and at
Stamford. Mr. Forbes waS a great
favorite. 0» is now playing in one
of the Southern states. and is a good
friend of Mr. Breese. Mn Breese
himself. last appeared in this city on
the stage. with James O'Neil in
"Monte Cristo.” ‘

EDMUND iii-Isl TALKS on ’
THE“ STAGE
AND THE MOVIES
In Country Home Here Veteran Actor Looks Backward
and Forward Over Theatrical Field—Feels That Pic-
tures Caused Death of Old Stock Companies.
By MARJORIE GANDHI!
Breese. “a. bit of psychology that l
have never been able to fathom. that
when one goes inside a moving pic-
ture theatre. the place is almost sl-
lcnt. No one is talking; they know.
of course. that they would not_ dis-
turb the actors if they did talk. Yet.
when one goes to a playhouse, one
finds that the persons in the audi-
ence talk a. great deal. and this does
disturb the actors. Have you ever
noticed that it's the same way with
a phonograph and a piano? You put
on a. record and people in the house
will stop talking and listen. but if a.
human individual sits down to n pl-
ano and plays a piece. the other folks
in the house will invariably gather
around in little groups and start talk-
ing. Just why this is I don't know.
but it‘s true."
Perhaps it is the perversity of hu-
man nature everyone hears so much
about!
As a. reason for the lack of stock
companies today. some people claim
that there is a lack of plays. There
are plenty of plays. said Mr. Breesc.
but most of them are sold for moving
picture rights. The managers don't
think of the stock rights any more.
There's a. reason for this. too. “'11“
a. man has a. play to sell, a. moving
picture Producer will say, 'W'e’ll give
you so much money for your play.’
it will not be as much money as for
a stock vehicle. generally. because a
play is stretched out over a. lougcl
period of time. But the playwright is
paid a lump sum by the moving pio-
turc. producer. and human nature
finds a decided advantage in ready
cash. Thus. the stock companies suf-
fcr.
"I do not think." said Mr. Breese.
"that the effect of a. play is spoiled if
it is run as a. play first. then as a.
moving picture. and then by a. stock
company. Yet it is s. peculiar thing
that. a picture does not repeat as suc-
cessfully as a. play. ‘The Birth of a
Nation' was the first big picture ever
made. It was truly a. great one. i
find myself comparing pictures since
then with it and I can still say that
i think it's the biggest picture we've
ever bad. But. bring 'The Birth of a
Nation' to a town every year and it-
don't do business. However. take a
