Don't BUY Stock!

| want to issue 4 most emphatic warn
ing-dont buy stock in any kind Of mo-
ton picture producing company unless
you know all about 1t, are sure that the
people behind It are reputable, and that
you can depend on them not to swindle
you out Of your money
Even though the person who is trying
to sell it TO you tells you that those
who are concerned in the company have
always been associated with big com
panies and successful productions. and
know their business well-dont buy. !
know of an assistant director, who'd
never done anything OF importance, but
had been In on the making Of several
big pictures who went around the
country shining in reflected glory, and
swindled q lot of people out Of their
savings. I know Of another man who
had been connected with several small
companies. that never had done much
Of anything but who had made one big
picture And he went up to Canada and
sold stock in company that didn't even
own a camera. and apparently never ex-
pected TO.
A great deal of money has been made
on motion picture stock, I know and a
great deal more win be made In the
same way. That is certain. A picture
that is made by someone who knows
his business has a pretty good chance
to succeed and the company which owns
that picture Is likely to make money
But oh, the number Of pictures that
fail--some of them good pictures, too.
And the number Of people who rush
about importantly, talking about what
they're doing-and trying to make you
believe they'll do It. Only few days
ago a young man was telling NE that he
had secured backing for company
which he had formed-he had persuaded
a wealthy man who knew nothing OF
picture making to put up large sum
Of money. but It wasn't enough to do
more than get things started, as any
one who knew much about the industry
could have told the misguided millionaire.

ISLAND Of MANHATTAN
ONCE SOLD FOR DRINK
RENTS $133 Per FOOT
(By Associated Press)-

NEW YORK. May 7--Manhattan
Island, once sold by an Indian for So
and few drinks of firewater, has
become SO valuable that a tinty plot
stretching only 81 feet along Broad.
way recently was leased for an annual
rental of about s133 a square foot.
real estate men said this was the
highest figure for which land was ever
rented here
The site is at Broadway and Thirty
fourth street, and extends about SO
feet along the latter. Several years
ago a department store wished to
buy the corner plot. having procured
the land on both sides as the site of
skyscraper. But the owner would
not sell, even for 81 .O00, 900, and the
big store had to erect its home around
the small building. ..-- '.'.

A four-story structure. housing on

lot. on all sides lofty buildings rear
their bulks of steel and stone. The
new lessee. who will pay $500. 900
for rent. taxes and other expenses
over twenty-one year period, plans
| to erect a narrow skyscraper on the
| triangular plot. A candy-making cor
poration will occupy the building.

which has only 1850 square feet o.
