Pearl White In New Serial

The great demand throughout
the country for a Pearl White
serial photoplay has caused Pathe
TO release THE Fatal Ring" the
serial in which Pearl White is
starred Immediately and Manager
Hubert of the Newark Opera
House has again demonstrated his
progressive showmanship by ar
ranging to present "The Fatal
Ring" beginning Tuesday, August
21St.
The Fatal Ring" has been ac-
claimed by those who have seen
the first episodes as one of the
best mediums ever offered Pearl
White to show her exceptional
historic ability, and it gives her an
opportunity to do more thrilling
stunts than those which endeared
ner to motion picture fans.
A series of three record-break-
ing serials have been placed to
Pearl Whites credit. The Iron
Claw brought testimonials by the
hundreds. The summer before,
The Exploits of Elaine" kept the
ticket seller busy and the theatre
owner worried only as to how he
was going to take care of the vast
number of patrons who thronged
mis- doors. The summer before
that The Perils of Pauline" was
shown. Pearl of the Army" was
her latest success.
In The Fatal Ring" Pearl White
who plays the leading part Of
Pearl Standish. is supported by
the greatest cast she ever had in
any serial. Warner GLAND, who
played the part of Baron Huroki
in "Patria," is the william of this
serial. Ruby Hoffman is a woman
of mystery, a priestess whose fol-
lowers do her bidding. Henry
Gsell and Earle Fox are support
ing members of the cast.
The serial is directed by George
3. Seitz, one of the serial experts
of the country, and the author of
The Exploits of Elaine" "Perils
of Pauline" THE Iron Claw" and
The Shielding Shadow" In THE
Fatal Ring" Mr.. Seitz has had the
cooperation of Fred Jackson, one
of the most popular magazine
writer's of the day. The serial is
based on a series of very success
full stories which achieved wide
popularity under the title of Moe
tural Adventures of Nicholas
Knox" in the Popular Magazine.
Pearl White, the heroine of
The Fatal Ring" is a blase So
ciety girl, who has so much money
and so many things at her disposa,
that she finds life a bore. Wher
she is involved in the recovery OF
a certain violet diamond, sought
by a strange religious sect, who
have no compunction in killing
those who oppose their efforts tt
recover the diamond, she finds lif'
so thrilling and of so much in
terest, that she is kept busy nigh
and day avoiding the perils ant
pitfalls prepared for her. He,
father bought the diamond from
an oriental priest who stole it
Pearl is held responsible for it
loss, as her father is dead, and i
driven to her best efforts to re
cover the diamond.
Her fate is wrapped up with tn
fate of Nicholas Knock, followe
of the strange sect, played b.
Earle Fox and with that of Tor
Carlton, a reporter. played b.

that the three light causes for the de-

II the war stopped tomorrow. Liberty
lean and foreign bonds would imme-
diately be withdrawn and their prices
would mount at once. Taxation would
also slowly return to a normal figure
thus removing the three causes for the
decline. In any event, point out the
experts, the Liberty loan will soon be
off the market: the foreign bonds will
shortly be all sold and the only cause
left will be taxation. They take the
view that this cause will not seriously
hamper the bond market from rising
from any low point it should reach, to

a normal level.
The reason for the decline of the
stock market apart from the bond
side of the matter, according to the
experts, is due to the corporation
tax, the eyery-present prospect of
peace, the high operating costs and
PRICE fixing. The corporation tax
which was formerly per cent is now
6 per cent and besides that the cor,
rorations must pay 10 per cent tax
on all dividends not paid out and a
big excess profit tax" which facts are
hammering down the price of indus.
trials. Stocks which rose on the crest
OF the war boom are also falling be-
! cause many of the holders believe
that peace is near and are anxious
to get from beneath a dropping mar.
ket.
Railroad stocks have dropped not
so much because of the corporation
tax as because of increased operating
expenses, their overhead charges hav-
ing scared with the lift in price of
rolling stock and all materials. Then
there is also little possibility for the
railroads to increase their dividends
and thus make their stocks more at
tractive because they are unable to
secure new rolling stock and further
facilities for handling increased traffic
and freight. And while the drop in
rails is certain to come. it will not

it rises again and remains at that nor
NAL level This can be accounted foT
by the fact that the railroads will have
much business to handle even after
the war stops. Public utilities con-
Germs operating with water power are
Tot feeling the pinch of increased
oy eThead expenses so much as com.
pared with those operating by the use
ot coal and oil and the result is that
their stock is not dropping as RAPIDLY.
In fact, the financial experts are
unanimous in the opinion that rail-
road stocks and bonds and stocks and
bonds Of public utilities that use wa

curities are the best bargain counter
attractions today and the safest buy
for investors of both large and small
incomes. Hawaiian moneYed interests

channels and will follow.

With the gradual return of railroad
and public utilities stocks and bonds
to a normal level, the financial
the big booms and big depressions in
the United States. To this date big
booms and big depressions have fol
lowed in a cycle of every three and
four years, with each boom going
higher than the one previous and each
depression going lower than before
But the experts are agreed that the
end of these booms and depressions
has come even while optimistic in,
Eestors are still hoping for return
Of the high levels and the pessimistic
ones are looking forward to the worst
depression yet, in all grades of securi
ties.
The experts declare that huge de-
preston will not come because the de.
cline in bonds is primarily due to
three light causes, first, taxation, see,
ond, the. Liberty Loan, and third, the
flotation of attractive securities such
as foreign government bonds. They
point out that taxation will not take
the money out Of the country nor will
Liberty Bonds and also that the
money invested in foreign loans will
be spent within the United States in
all cases because of the embargo
which prohibits the expectation of
gold from the commonwealth. For
those reasons, the experts say, a his
depression is impossible even though
ordinary low yield stocks and bonds
reach a lower level than in any pre-.
yious panic.
Income Taxes
Where the average investor once
faced a normal income tax of ? per
cent which began at $4,000 for single
men and at $4,000 for married men, and
a srrtaX which began at an income of
100000. he now faces a new additional
tax of per cent which starts at ST.
600 for the single man and at $4,000
for the married man besides a surtax
of 1 per. cent which begins at $4,000.
The result is. that he is liquidating
his low yield taxable holdings and
seeking cover under the Liberty loan
bonds with its tax exempt features
or securities yielding per cent or
better.
The third cause for the decline of
ordinary bonds is the floating of the
