Mary Pickford 10 to remain with
the Famous Players Company"
That II the latest news from the
aim merger front.
The merger forces have been driven
back, temporarily. and the original
powers are still in possession OF the
motion picture trenches. In other
words, the big motion picture deal
that was scheduled hasn't came on
yet.
Nothing that has happened in re-
cent years has quite no excited the
entire motion picture world as the re-
ported amalgamation OF the big COM
panies into one or two large con-
Germs, as was reported last week IN
fhe Times. One enthusiastic state
Snent was 10 the effect that az the
new company would hold contracts
for the services OF both Miss Pick
ford and Charlie Chaplin, that the
two would be starred together In

Mary Pickford Q Magnate.
The feature Of this weeks merger
news. 80 far as the public 10 con-
cerned, II the statement Of Adolph
Zukor, president Of the Famous
Players Company. that Miss Pick
ford has not left the employ OF that
concern. on the contrary Miss Pick
ford has become q magnate herself.
Mr.. luxor states that Miss Pick
ford's contract expired with the COM
pany In January, 1915. Immediately
afterward the Famous Players-M Mary
Pickford Company was formed with
NJ. ZnLar Ynraaidanf and Mary Pick
ford vice-president.
This company. states Mr.. luxor.
will continue to make Mary Pickford
pictures under q contract for this
year which Miss Pickford has signed.
Mr.. Zukor declares that Miss Pick
ford Is not in q position to accept
contracts for any concern.

Pickford's name to a contract for
three years at ts0o.o0O per. year. IL.
sued a statement in which he said
the announcement that he was con-
ture interests was erroneous In
many particulars. He stated that
ne Represented only his individual
interests in the matter and not nu-
merous outside capitalists who have
been mentioned as his hackers. He
would not discuss the Pickford con-
tract.
Managers Deny Merger.
Tho presidents or general man.
ayers Of the Lasky. the Paramount,
the Mutual and the Metro COM
panies stated there was nothing in
the merger story so far a. they
were concerned.
President Hodktnsoh, of the Para
mount company stated that his
concern was not seeking a merger
with any other interest. The Para
mount company, ne said. has kept
its promises to exhibitors and the
public. II has striven to produce the
best pictures and 1t has proapered
under such a policy which II pro-
poses to continue.
This closes the merger situation
for this week. What the next sever
days will bring forth no one will
venture to predict.

STOCK MARKET

New York, Feb. 11-IrreguIar price
changes ruled at the opening of to-
days moderately active stock mar
ket, some of the war issues, coppers
and New York Central making varia-
bic gains, while United States Steel
Crucible Steel, American Smelling,
Mexican Petroleum and a few special
ties were lower by. fractions to over a
point. Trading was of a tentative
and professional character, the com
ing holidays causing further lack of
outside interest. Secondary prices
eliminated most initial advances, ex-
cept in the metal group where Utah, lat
the new high price of "a 1-2, led an
other upward swing.
Noon.-Coppers continued to lead
Butte & Superior, which rose 4 to So,
as well as Chino and some lesser is
sues of the same class scoring new
records with Utah. American Zinc
was strongest of kindred shares, gain
ing 4 1-8 at TO. Oils also denoted re
neWed inquiry with full recovery in
Mexican Petroleum. Among war and
allied shares CrtcibIe Steel Colorado
Fuel and American Car were under
pressure, but American Can, Interna-
tional Nickel, Fertilizers and United
Fruit were firm to strong. United
States Steel also recovered its early
loss but held back later. At midday
fresh heaviness developed. Bonds
were Irregular.

The better class of railroad shares
and bonds has lately received consid-
cradle attention from both invest
ment buyers and speculative opera
tors In the Industrial shares more
or less discrimination is necessary
The so-ca11ed war stocks have been
handled with more discretion, and the
industrials not directly dependent up
on war orders, especially steels, cop
pers and chemicals, are more favora-
bly, regarded than others. Many of
the better class of 1ndustria1s are
beneftting largely from the improve
ment of home conditions and entirely
Independent of war orders. Steel
trade activity continues unchecked,
and many concerns have sold their en-
tire output for 1915 at top prices. La
Dor is well employed at good wages,
and as the farming classes are also
enjoying prosperity, the buying power
of the masses is exceptionally great;
hence the outlook for continued trade
activity during the coming spring and
summer months is excellent.
