,. Mourns fradulent end decep-
,1“ e methods in business. and to
fpcoreete honesty. truthfulness and
reliability in the sale of securities
and lidrchnndise.
In its report. entitled. "Practical
Performance." it shows what has
been accomplished in May. June and
July and what has been done under
the Hartin Act—a fradulent securi—
ties statute of New York State—
considered a dead letter until in-
voked .by Attorney General Carl
Sherman and the backing of the
Burenu. Other states can. it is be-
lieved, accomplish equal results with
similar statutes. provided enforce-
ment is sincere and diligent.
\Vithin the ninety days ending
July 80th last. the Attorney Gen-
eral. on information submitted by
the Better Business bureau. enjoined
one corporation from selling $100.-
000 in bonds after it had taken hun—
dreds of thousands from the public
through stock sales but had cur-
rent assets amounting to less than
825.000; obtained a restraining or-
der against a large brokerage house
charged with bucketing orders: put
a quick stop to another concern
flourishing through fradulent prac-
tices. and forced a corporation pro-
moting Mexican and New Mexican
geld mines from the further sale of
its securities until it had included
its liabilities with its assets in its
public statements. other equally
important cases will shortly be sub-
mitted to the courts by the Attorney
General of New York State.
The report shows that the Bureau
has made public. many bulletins re-
porting its investigations which have
curtailed the activities of business

has aided the stock exchanges in a

American motion picture com-

Mr. Hurst ny- there are 800 or
more motion picture theatres in
Cuba and. in additioa. many of the
sugar mills hen facilities for and
exhibit pictures. Many of the
theatres sprang up during the peri-
od of good times in Cuba and opera-
atollmllll, so long as theetre~
goers spend freely on this form of
entertainment. A few of these
theatres are now closed. while some
give performances. on turdeys.
Sundays and holidlys. it said. S
The films selling best at the pres-
out time are wild west pictures and
features. The film that made the
most money recently was e feature
which was advertised systematically
many months in advance.
"German films threatened at one
time to become serious competitors
of American films." said Mr. Hurst.
“but owing to had exploitation and
the fact that a number of their old-
er productions were sent into Cube.
they have not continued to sell. A
few French films have been im-
ported. but not in quantities to com-
pete seriously with American films.
Recently e number of historical6
dramas imported from Italy have
been shown.
