THE EUGENE REGIRTER-GU AED
Paga Ten
A erlme wave of major proportions
Will DTeBK uvrr Jiiincuo i
evening and Thursday evening with
the Little Theater's presentation of
"Twe Gentlemen of aoho" at their
Workshop, Kith avenue near Ferry
street.
To mitigate the crime wave, they
will present also, "The Conch Shell,"
by Sflllv Allen, local dramatist, and
they will serve cooling refreshments
to their customers as part of the four
bit price of admission. Tickets are
now on eelo at Kidney Claypool s
Oregon pharmacy on 13Ui at Kincaid,
near the campus.
The mid-summer presentation 01
one-act plays is an experiment in test
ing out the desire of the Eugene public
for civic productions which began with
last spring's presentation of "Ten
Nights in a Barroom." Ten Mghts
ran five evenings to capacity houses
and could probnbly have played an
other week had it been possible to
keep the enst together. Ten Nights
may be revived again next fall.
But the mid-summer plays will pre
sent several innovations. "Two Gen
tlemen of Soho" is grand farce after
the Shakespearln manner. "The Conch
Shell" is a pleasing comedy of man
ners. Cerda Brown directs "The Conch
8hell" and Alfons Korn directs "The
Two Gentlemen."
Several new actors will be intro
duced in the two playlets, but a num
ber of the old favorites are In the
cast also. Dr. Ed Buchannn has the
leading role of "Plum," British "dry
dick" in the "Two Gentlemen," a role
in which he demonstrates the fine
arts of murder and suicide with gusto.
Seating capacity in the Workshop
has been reduced to 60 for the two
performances, so that there will be
no crowding during the warm weather.
Fans hsve been provided. New scenery
designed by Kenneth Shumaker has
been built for the performances.

COMING TO STATE
What Is '.Tue loveT Do yoa know?
Could you find words to describe it?
Could you point out someone and
ay that he or she baa found true
love and prove it?

NATION'S DEBTS
STORY
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE I)
tho ocean every time a purchase of
goods is made between nntions. Be
sides there is not nenrly enough gold
in tho world to cover the tremendous
pnymenta involved in international
trade.
To escape shipping gold, a mer
chant in a foreign country buying
merchandise in the United States
must have credit in this country. If
he ennnnt obtain dollar credit in the
United States or purchnse it from his
own bank, then gold must be Bent to
pay the bill.
But credit can be obtnlned general
ly. For hiHtanc.e a tourist from the
United States goes to his bank In this
country and purchases a letter of
credit on a foreign bank for $1,000.
He spends that credit abroad and
those to whom he pays It deposit
the credit with their banks. Those
banks then have a credit with the
American bank for $1,000 which may
be drawn upon to pay debts owed In
the United States. The same system
operates when firms here buy goods
from foreign companies.
When there is little demand for
United States credit in a foreign
country the merchant there enn buy it
at a rennonnble premium from his
bank which has received It from Us
customers. Rut when the demand is
great the premium goes up and finally
reaches a point at which it Is cheaper
to ship gold to the United States than
to buy dollar credit.
The total of world gold stocks Is a
little more than $11,000,000,000. Of
this the United States holds $4,
OOS.OIIO.OO, Frnnce approximately $1!,
000,000,000 nnd rest of the world
about $4,000,000,000.
In thcBj hot summer dnys when cool
air is at a premium, the Installation of
n new cooling system is a nlcnsnnt
thing to think about particularly to
theater patrons who trek down the
hot avenues to the talkies in mid-afternoon.
The Helllpr tlienter hns Just com
pleted Inntallntion of a new cooling
system. It la a sprinkling system by
which the air in tho building is kept
in circulation and is filtered nnd kept
constantly cool and fresh. It was in
operation Tuesday and the entire
tlienter was cool.
B. E. Uaoust installed the cooling
system.
