wise in your opinion, to sell my shares of
Famous Players-L Lasky, now quoted in the
7o',. VIII you also tell me what you know
about this company, and oblige?-F. A II.
Answer-We do not advise regarding
speculation. The market has had g
severe setback recently, with the result
that many issues have probably sold
below their real value. Famous Play
ers shows good earnings When the
recent issue of $loo0Q,0oo preferred

net earnings were conservatively csti-
mated to be running at the rate Of
about five times the dividend require
ments on the preferred stock, or
81 600 900 per annum. Ihls is equal to
