GAYETY STAR Once
STUDIED THEOLOGY
Lure of Stage Turned Coleman from
Clerical Life.

Dan Coleman, the Irish Julian FL
tinge who leads the Hastings show
at the Gayety this week, is a success
full example Of the man who found his
life work and made good at II For
Mr.. Coleman attended Holy Cross Col
lege with the purpose OF becoming a
clergyman, only TO find that his lean.
ings toward the clergy were not 20 far
inclined as his leanings to become a
Shakespearean actor.
Mr.. Coleman has the distinction ct

Of George Monroe, and Furthermore is
the author OF the present show as
well as the composer OF many pleas
ing and popular songs. OF all the
songs that he has written his great.

pleted called Are You an American, I"
a song that will be heard from the
first line trench in France to the four
corners OF the globe.
Unlike most Composers when he gets
an inspiration. Coleman does not rush
10 the piano and play Il on. There $
a reason. Mr.. Coleman knows moth
ing about music, so he huns the tune
to Mrs. Coleman who plays It for him
on the piano. They then call in their
pet composer who puts the tune in
shape. The only drawback TO this ar
rangement is that whenever Mrs.
Coleman isn't around the public loses
a perfectly good lyric.

Series OF RUMORS
DISTURB MARKET
McAdoo Statement Regarding Roads
May Prove Simulant.
BY BRoADAN WALL.

New York, Jan, 23.--Stocks broke
badly today as natural result of
speculative manipulation in the morn
ing which carried them up In many
departments. The advances scored
early in the day were accomplished
partly by the circulation of false in
formation and rumors OF alleged deals.
Trading was on. a light scale and
the market movements taken as a
whole were meaningless. The pools
pretended that they were acting in
accordance with news, but no news
of compelling importance was made
public, The close was heavy and at
low prices.
Because this conversational bull
campaign has failed It does not mean
that the market Is going to pieces. for
there was no great pressure of
stocks for sale. The course of the
market for the immediate future de-
pends on two things-first the prompt
ness with which Congress acts in
guaranteeing a fair income to the
railroads, and second. action on the
Western front in Europe.
Because the market happened to be
breaking when Secretary McAdoo's
statement was published to the ef-
feet that $4,000, 200 of bonds must
be floated by the government be-
fore June 30, many persons imagined
that the statement affected tn mar
ket- II anything the statement should
have a sustaining influence because
he made such a strong plea in be-
half of the railroads.
Insiders of Mercantile Marine have
Just finished paying themselves
another special dividend out of the
stock market. This payment does
not reduce the amount officially due
them for back dividends, -.
The pool has made its turn In Mexi-
can Petroleum, has taken profits and
left the stock in that conditions that
even good stocks exhibit after rumor-
mongers had been flirting with them.
A member of the pool admitted that
Mexican Petroleum was taken Up in
the recent break because It had
such intrinsic merit. The profits that
resulted were handsome.
The statement can also be made on
high authority that. no extra divi-
dends are planned for American
Beet Sugar or for National Enamel
ing. Both companies could pay such
dividends but both need cash for
working capital and directors seem
to think 1t wiser to keep 1t than
to borrow it.
There was much speculative interest
the motor stocks. The prosperitv.
OF that, business was illustrated with
the report of the Stutz Company. This
and other stocks are well bought an
every recession.
