IMr.a Purviatici' i i billed i or another public pe.u'.inoe today, not as screc:'. li>?s ;?:t ! celebrities, but us princi ples in the New Year's party the apartment of Cortland S. Dines in Hollywood, brought to an abrupt close by the shooting of Dir".? "by | Horace Greer, the ex-con vfet cliaf feaur of Mabel Normand. Dines was so seriously wounded that he has not been able to make an appearance in court up to this, time. But his physicians have agreed that he will be able to take the stand tooay. A surprise move on the part of the defense, in the issuance of subpoenas for Miss Normand and Miss Purvl ance, will brine the fo??r principals together for the first time since1 Dines was shot down by Giver, 1 whom the police declared to have been actuated by a love frenzy for! Miss Normand. The bold stroke of the defense in bringing the two film stars and1 Dines Into court together as witness- i es indicates that Greer has no fear of prosecution if the efTorts of Mis:*' Normand and Miss Purviance and I Dines can save him. Greer expects J Dines to stick to his story that he! does not know who shot him, due to the hazy condition of his mind from j over-indulgence in liquor. Miss Nor-j mand and Miss Purviance are expect ed to testify that neither witnessed | the actual shooting and that Dines; admitted directly after the shooting that there had been a controversy! that might have led Greer to act in I self defense. Justice Walter Hanby, before1 whom the case is being heard, is sus picious of an effort to conceal evl- [ dence, and Dihes and the two mo tion picture stars may find theni-i selves subjected to a severe grilling. Directly after Miss Normand and! Miss Purviance achieved additional j unpleasant notoriety through their; connection with this case, the writer; pointed out that the result might be a real tragedy for them in bringing their screen careers to a close. Miss Purviance. at the time of the shooting of Dines, was at the top of ber climb with a future of brll-j llant promises before her. Under the direction of Charlie Chaplin, byi IV i \v I, it. r a?? .r?nji Mi - lur a/.:im!y frani; about ip til it hrt twc !i ::cr and Dinps. and Chaplin learn* l many things ho had not known b- Ton*. Chaplin was gallant. and came t?? h??r d? Only a few wi-eks ago, he declared that Miss Purvianco was suffering unjustly by reason of an unfortunate occurence that might | have 1iapp<*n<"d to anyone, and that she was in no way to blame for th?? encounter at the party in Dines' | apartment. Ho wound up by saying i that he would continue to employ! her as his leading woman, and star her in his pictures. That was I0S3 than a month ago. Chaplin is now starting on his nc.v picture and his leading woman is to be Lit a Gray, who. as a very young girl, played a bit in Chaplin's "The Kid.*' but who has no other screen experience and is hardly more than a child. Miss Gray conies of an old Spanish California family and has boen brought up under a strict rog There can bo no doubt that Chap lin is delighted with his new leading lady, whose mother accompanies her on all her trips to the studio. Chap lin, when not at work. Indulges in play and pastimes with Miss Gray on the lot. and It is hard to tell wheth er Chaplin is more interested in the beautiful and athletic young woman, or she in the man who has given her her big opportunity. Edna Purvianco has not boon cast for this picture. She may never ap pear again In a leading role on thu screen . A great deal of money, time and energy is being spent, probably by Miss Normand herself, in getting a very literary but not very literal story of her lifo before the public. B..t thus far there are no definite plans for her appearance in another picture. These facts make the possibility that Miss Normand and Miss Purvi anco inay be reached by subpoenas and appear in court today, quite in teresting as marking perhaps the I turning point of their lives. ime. day over the fact that Secretary of | Commerce Hoover had found but ton minor commodities, the price ?? f which is controlled by foreign iullu ? iicvi. than over t Ir** fact thi?t l;o nd vooati d legislative measures to rn siW-* i - A;mTie:in ci iii>uni< rs i?. l?s.-d by \i:v' S'-- r-t;'rv ar. in c. .,M? : Ui ? ..

Nitrates, Iodine and potash, undoubtedly are under control ?u foreign influences. hut the fact re mains that fertilizer plants in this country are not finding demand suf ficient to enable them to run full time even if they were able to over come this foreign influence on prices. (Jovernnient investigation under taken following an urgent demand by Harvey Firestone, tire manufac turer, indicated no immediate possi bility of recapturing the crude rub ber market from the hands of the | British and Dutch planters in th?? orient but the price of the material now is well below the high points of 1923. Steel men insist that tin is lafTected far more by the demands of. | the American canners than by for-! jeign monopoly of production and the I importance of quick silver has dc-j clined materially as a result of Im provement in the methods of treat-' ing ores and minerals. ] Quebracho for tanning purposes is under foreign control but American i tanners now have on hand terrific stocks of leather which they are striving with every effort to move in- ; to distribution with only partial suc cess. Quinine monopoly is not a large factor in the foreign trade of this country and the extent to which the government of Rra7.il can control coffee prices is limited according to importers by the condition of the crop and the facility with which the South American government can se cure foreign loans.

Rout Of Bears On Franc Stimulates Foreign Trade Still Some Doulit in Financial Circles as to Whether Stabili zation Is Permanent lint This Uncertainty Not Expected to Vitally Affect Either Imports or Exports By J. C. ROYI.E '~#?yrlgtit. 1924, By Th? Advance) New York, March 19 ? The appar ent rout of the "bears on the franc": and the recovery of French exchange undoubtedly has promoted a hotter' feeling In business circles concerned J with foreign trade. The effect on! American business, however, has! been largely psychological because dealings with France, since the re cent uncertain state of French ex-! change, has been largely. In terms of j pounds and dollars. American busl-j ness men simply followed the same) course they pursued In the case off Russia, Germany and other coun-i tries, the currencies of which be came subject to wide and sudd on flucuations, and conducted negotia tions In dollars. There still exists some doubt in financial circles here as to whether i the franc situation lias finally been! stabilized by the arrangement r?f j large credits here and In London."1 but this is not expected vitally lo affect exports or Imports. The satisfactory stato of foreign trade is shown by the fact that In the last 12 months American exports amounted to $4. 167, 94**.. 000, a gain of $036,000,000 over the trade of 1022. In the same time imports In creased from $079,000,000 to $3, 791,938,000. This export Increase Is accounted for more by the better demand for manufactured products than for raw materials. The wheat I movement, for example, has been! small and the export of food and J breadstuff* In the last year ha* amounted to only six per cent of the whole, as compared with Ifc p?ir cent for the previous year. Cotton ex ports, however, have been exception j ally heavy. The lack of Influence of the fltict utations of the franc on trade ha<| not been an Isolated case in the sit nation. Argentina's currency Is In a 1 depreciated position, yet exports to that country from the United States have Improved by at least $10,000,-; 000 In the last year.
